Most Israelis not bothered by reports of suffering and famine in Gaza, new poll shows

A nation of mostly fascists. Zionism is about the creation of a religious nationalist ethnostate through genocide.

It's pure unbridled fascism, and Israelis have been indoctrinated to believe it's okay when they do it since birth, as has a significant proportion of the Jewish diaspora. That's why the genocide continues, and why Israel is the most dangerous threat to Jewish people since Nazism.

If you really mean Israelis outside of Israel and not just Jewish people, that's probably just code shifting. They know their opinions aren't acceptable outside their bubble, so they keep quiet. It's the same way a white supremacist will talk differently if they think any random white guy shares their views vs when an imposing minority is in the room.

The reason for this is that Israel has a lot of ultra orthodox Jews, and they can be pinpointed as THE source of the insanity inside the country. They don't contribute economically, they're always calling for wars and violence but they refuse to participate in the military, they throw tantrums when anything doesn't go their way, and they're always trying to coerce society to be more religiously extreme.

America world police 2025 rather would rather be worrying about what’s happening across the planet than fixing their own dumpster fire.

Fix your shit and get in the back of the line, you Americans only cheapen the cause

Yep. The Nazis were people just like anyone else who gained the consent of the population. We learned nothing.

Don't call fascists demons. They're people. Any people can go fascist when the circumstances are right. This "fascists are demons, not reasonable people like us" attitude breeds complacency and an unwillingness to look directly at what fascism is and how it arises and functions, and that's part of the reason fascism has come back to bite us hard.

It's the Samson option, they've never done it. And MAD has been policy for any number of nations.

Is Israel deep into an ethnic conflict spiral, and fairly devoid of empathy for the other side? Yes. Is it all religious fanatics? No, that's a minority. Secular Zionism is a thing too.

Don't confuse a fascist regime for the population it is presiding over.

And Palestine and Iran isn't?

So exactly what the article states. Jewish Israelis do not believe mass starvation of Palestinians matters.

idi.org.il is an israeli site. No thanks pal.

Sir, this is Lemmy. Get your information hygiene out of there!

...Seriously though, subtle rewording makes a huge difference:

The majority of Jewish respondents think that, given the circumstances of the fighting in Gaza, Israel is making efforts to avoid causing suffering to the Palestinian population there. The majority of Arab respondents think that even with the restrictions imposed by the fighting, Israel could have done more to reduce this suffering. Among Jews, only on the Left is there a majority who think that Israel is not making the necessary efforts to reduce suffering.

On a personal level, the majority in the Center and on the Right (Jewish respondents) say that they are not troubled by the reports of famine and suffering among the Palestinian population in Gaza. On the Left, the majority reported that they are personally troubled by these reports.

The majority of the Jewish public believes the IDF’s reporting on the extent of Palestinian civilian casualties in Gaza

In other words, Jewish respondents believe Israel is making efforts to avoid suffering, not that they approve of the suffering, and the national mood is very low.

Propaganda works.

So do clickbait tabloid headlines.

This is the type of unhinged take that shouldn't be welcomed in discourse. The reason why people are critical of Israel or Russia or Saudi Arabia or Iran or whatever is because they're not bothered enough by the death and suffering. The whole point is to get them to deradicalize as a society so they won't dehumanize other people. We went to bring them to the level everybody else is at, radicalizing ourselves to dehumanize them, that's just making the problem worse.

Smerprising?

The Palestinians in occupied territory figured it out already. Not that hard.

Also other polls have shown almost half Jewish Israelis support full extermination Palestinians. And more than 82% support ethnically cleansing them.

No, don't be a bigot. Hating them for being Jews is wrong. Hating them for committing atrocities on Palestine is normal.

They want occupation to end

amazing you landed on such a nice round number like that. would love to see the methodology of gathering that information while a population is literally being purged in genocide.
