Comment on 'Our Genocide': How do Israelis feel about the war in Gaza? | On the Ground

I’m not going to watch that, my emotional state can’t bear to see the hateful verbal diarrhea come out of their mouths. But it’s still really important. A recent poll from a mainstream Israeli newspaper found that 82% of Jewish Israelis are in favor of expelling Gazans from their homeland. The breakdown by religiosity is even scarier.
The same study found that among Jewish Israelis, 31% of the secular, 60% of the traditional, 59% of the orthodox, and 63% of the Haredi (a different kind of orthodox, even more extreme) are in favor of killing all Palestinians. Please let that sink in for a minute. As an American Jew, I am mortified by the atrocities being committed in my name.
These numbers might have changed a bit since May, but I’d argue that’s beside the point.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts i can understand why you feel they way you do. Personally i don’t like much pools, they can be deceptive and shouldn’t be trusted as what the majority of people actually believe; they also tunnel opinions that may be more elaborated into binary options. What really strikes me in the video is the dystopian scenario where many people seem to just be chilling and living their first world life a few kilometers away from a war and misery. The divergence is so strong that it makes you question if we are more or less all doing the same thing
