whatever the reason (you can bring up the Standford prison experiment) they are evil, and if you want to disagree, you can’t disagree that they act evil. they see their neighbors and not see them as human. If we wait for their consent to end the genocide, it’ll never end.

You make the relevant distinction yourself: "they" (I don't like the word when there's clearly exceptions) act evil. No doubt about that. That doesn't mean Israeli people are inherently worse or better than the rest of us.

And in the current scenario, there's no consent to be awaited, but the necessary international action to boycott Israel (and other genocidal/ terrorist states) at all fronts is simply not happening, and that is depressing.

i don't mean that Israelis are inherently evil, like they have evil genes, or they are demonic. just that their actions reflect that. I still deal with Israelis regularly, and God, they all need some serious deprogramming.
