"Simply put, the people are the problem.
Netanyahu has voters. There are those who vote for his kind. There are those who have hated Arabs long before Netanyahu. There are those who despise blacks, detest foreigners, exploit the weak and look down their noses at the whole world – and not because of Netanyahu. There are those who believe they are the chosen people and therefore deserve everything.
There are those who think that after the Holocaust, they are permitted to do anything.
There are those who believe that Israel is tops in the world in every field, that international law doesn’t apply to it, and that no one can tell it what to do.
There are those who think Israelis are victims – always victims, the only victims – and that the whole world is against us. There are those who are convinced that Israel is allowed to do anything, simply because it can.
There are those who believe in the sword alone. There are those who champion aggression, in the territories and on the roads, and who don’t know any other language.
There are unprecedented levels of ignorance.
There’s brainwashing to an extent unknown in a democracy. Is Netanyahu responsible for all of this? Come on.
The problem is the atmosphere, the spirit of the times, the values and outlooks that have become ingrained here during decades of Zionism."
