Approval for Netanyahu is definitely low. But I have heard some indications it is largely from his failure to rescue the hostages and inflict a definite victory over Hamas, rather than from his success in butchering civilians.

Apparently things have shifted from as recently as this summer and you have more accurate recent information.
“ A Sept. 13 survey by the Israeli newspaper Maariv found that 41% of Israelis believe Netanyahu is the most suitable person to lead a coalition government. This marks a significant recovery from earlier polls that showed plummeting approval ratings following the Oct 7, 2023 attacks.
The survey found that 47% view Netanyahu as the best suited for the role of prime minister compared to 34% for opposition leader Yair Lapid.
The results show a rise in Netanyahu’s popularity compared to previous opinion polls, which may reflect implicit public support for the continuation of the genocide in Gaza.
According to an earlier poll conducted by Israel’s Channel 12 on July 13, 70% of Israelis supported Netanyahu’s dismissal, while 44% demanded his immediate resignation.
Another poll conducted on April 12 showed that 35% of Israelis supported Netanyahu.”
Still a minority, but it’s depressing that he’s actually gaining support as his administration stretches Israel even further over the chasm of doom.

Well, but that’s different than the war itself, though. Plenty of people support the war, and not Bibi…

From what I’ve read, that part has greatly simplified down as we start the second year of slaughter to support for Bibi is support for the war and vice-versa. Which is what he wanted to accomplish.

President Biden is set to issue a formal apology for the federal government’s Native American boarding schools during his visit to Arizona today. He will be the first sitting president to formally apologize for these schools, which operated for over 150 years and separated American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children from their families in an attempt to assimilate them. This system often exposed children to abuse and, in some cases, even death. Biden will visit the Gila River Indian Community, marking his first timevisiting a Native American tribe as president.
