You're thinking of right wingers.
You can find quotes of centrists like Yair Lapid decrying harming innocent Palestinians, and calling WB settlers "Jewish terrorists".

And that's without mentioning Israel's left wing politicians.

The ones who were quoted are either center or right wing.
And even the centrists have been calling to get out of Gaza for over a year now

Great.
Next up, Taiwan.

He was removed in 2022 and barely got back in the last election (Current gov was elected with 49.5% of the voters). Plus for the last 2 years, the polls show the gov parties don't have nearly enough support to get reelected.
Problem is there's a high chance they'll interfere with the elections.

And this will have to come with some measures or support for deradicalized education and support for joint Palestinian-Israeli organizations that bring people together like Standing Together, Combatants for Peace, etc.

Most Israelis are Mizrahi Jews without any connection to Europe

What you originally wrote doesn't imply only leaders.
The current leaders of Zionist parties that are part of the government are, Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Arie Deri. That's 2 Ashkenazis and 2 Mizrahis.

They voted for the Likud mostly because of the racism they experienced. That resulted in much more Mizrahi Jews in places of power and the shrinking of the gap between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews.
Justifiable or not, that clearly worked in their interest.

But clearly you're just looking to attack people, so I'm wasting my time.

You wrote it again, but do you mean Revisionist Zionism? I didn't pretend, as it's completely irrelevant.
You wrote that the hardcore Zionist tends to be European. You were corrected that it isn't true today.
You should clarify yourself if you meant something else.

The article points out Mizrahi are more right wing.
Likud's voters are still mostly Mizrahi, even if less Mizrahi are voting for them as compared to the past.
And it isn't the only right wing party or the most extreme one. Ben Gvir's party is worse and also has mostly Mizrahi voters.

I haven't managed to find the articles that talked about the last election in the context of Mizrahi Jews, but you can go through the last election result map and see the places where the Likud got the highest percentages are almost all Mizrahi dominated.

And vote against their interests in which way?

You mean Netanyahu's parents.
Where were Ben Gvir's parents from?

The majority of Likud, Shas and Ben Gvir voters are Mizrahi Jews.
Israeli Mizrahi Jews in general tend to be more right wing in general.

Seems like they're refocusing on Libya:

Arguably the non-PKK Kurds / Democratic Socialist state of Rojava (AANES). But they aren't an active part of the current situation.

Best case scenario for Syrian citizens, is if the Turkey-backed Sunni Islamist forces and the Shia Islamist / Assad regime / Russian / Iranian forces considerably dwindle each other's numbers and capabilities, with the Kurds swooping in at the end to help turn the rest of Syria into a Democratic Socialist state.

This is a seperate incident which happened more recently. After the one you wrote about.

49.5% of the voters voted for the current government.

Which "progressive" government did Israel have in the last 30 years?
Barak and especially Rabin's government stopped the settlements.
Olmert had the "realignment plan", which was shelved due to the 2nd Lebanon war.

Sounds like they hit some missile manufacturing facilities. Hopefully they also hit some drone facilities.
Less missiles and drones for Russia's attacks on Ukraine and for the Iranian militias' attacks on the Kurds in Syria and Iraq.

Edit: Seems like they did also hit drone facilities. Less Shahed drones for Russia.

I assume the drone that took the video exploded moments later, killing Sinwar.

...leading to a gunfight during which Sinwar escaped into a ruined building.

...tank shells and a missile were also fired at the building.

It's a Lebanese paper founded in Beirut by Lebanese.

Nope, he was always in Gaza.
Mousa abu Marzouk and Khaled Mashaal are the ones in Qatar (and previously, Haniyeh).

Just for you - https://www.irishtimes.com/world/middle-east/2024/10/01/israel-and-us-promise-sharp-response-to-iranian-missile-attack/

The only reported fatality was a Palestinian man who was killed when a rocket hit the West Bank town of Jericho.

Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Iran fired 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles.

In Reuters they reported the following:

Pentagon spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder:
...
Iran's attack was about twice the scope of Tehran's attack on Israel on April 14

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they used hypersonic 'Fattah' missiles 'for the first time' in attack on Israel, Iranian state TV reports
