Israel is guilty of genocide and will be held accountable. I understand this is the Israeli flag, but this meme is treading a line dangerously close to antisemitism. There are those who will not see a flag. They will see a symbol, The Star of David, many peaceful people display.
The Star of David globally represents millions of Jews who are among those most against the Israeli occupation. Not only do they have the same abhorance of the unspeakable violence committed against Palestinians, Israel has hijacked their religion, cultural heritage, and the symbol representing their their passivist philosophy.
Memes like this have the potential to create hardship for Jews in the same way Muslims were persecuted in the aftermath of 911. I have personally seen the defacement of mosques. The same has already happened to synagogues. A jokes may seem innoculous, but they can beget additional violence. Take caution when making ones such as this.
(Before someone fronts Reductio ad Hitlerum, the swastika and Star of David are not even remotely the same thing)
and will be held accountable.
How?
There are many people there not committing war crimes. This particular issue might need a little more nuance.
Until they're attempting to overthrow their govt in order to stop all this then they might as well be complicit.
Like every time a country conducts genocide people close their eyes and don't want to admit that, facing such crimes against humanity, every single Israeli has the duty to do whatever they can to stop their government. No matter if its a Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Jinping, Putin or Netanyahu (or some political conglomerate), and no matter where the injustice and moral corruption began or what once was, the people have to stand up against a corrupt system at that point. Of they don't they are indeed complicit, every single time.
The great majority of adult Israelis are militant settler-colonizers and Palestinians have the legal right under UN law to struggle against their occupiers by any means necessary, including armed struggle and Israel, as an occupier, has no right to “self defense.”

link: Conscription in Israel Since the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948, fixed-term military service has been compulsory in Israel.
I don't see how your statement and the hyper-texted link are relevant. I went through the sections but it's just their basic military service that a lot of countries require?
This is not in defense of a government, just want to make sure we're not making vague blanket statements on a populace.
