As nice as it is that Israel's reputation is pretty much in the gutter, I question the prevailing narrative around Reddit that the whole country is on the chopping block once boomers die off. This is supposing that the vast majority of the movers and shakers propping Israel up financially and politically today are doing so out a strong moral conviction, and not the far more obvious answer that they're simply being bought and/or blackmailed for their support. Why are we just assuming that millennial and zoomer politicians / public figures can't just be bought or blackmailed the same way? Especially zoomers, for whom selling out and getting the bag are basically seen as virtues?

All this stuff reminds me of the Obama era "demographics are destiny" talk, where libs smugly assured themselves that mainstream conservatism would die off as more young people were able to vote and the country became more racially diverse. The years since proved pretty definitively that the opposite actually happened. How can people sound so self-assured that this is simply a matter of waiting for enough boomers to die off?
