The vast majority of Israelis say they are not troubled by reports of famine and suffering in Gaza, a new poll released by the Israel Democracy Institute shows.

The survey shows that 79 percent of Jews in Israel were not troubled, or troubled at all, whereas 86 percent of “Arab” respondents were somewhat or very troubled by the reports about the war on Gaza.

The survey was conducted between 27-31 July.

    And look at the death numbers. Maybe just maybe uf Israel wasn’t killing Palestinians they wouldn’t grow up hating Israel. I know its hard but it’s in their book I think an eye for an eye.

      I imagine a lot of the world hates israel now. Not just Palestinians. Israelis thrive on that, so they can have a nice strong victim complex for the next thousand years.

      “Why oh why does everyone hate us!! Its because they are racist antisemites! bohooohoo”

        Hatred of Jews goes back centuries. It’s almost a worldwide pastime at this point. The difference is a lot of the antisemites have had to stop being openly hateful towards Jews because of shifting social norms, so they latch onto Israel as a way to vent their hatred in a politically correct manner.

          I didnt say jews, I said israelis. Careful with this. Antisemitism gets you banned on lemmy.

          Although for whatever reason, anti arab sentiment or support for war crimes doesnt. Huge double standard.

            If Israel was run by Muslims, no one would care if they were turning Gaza into a heap of rubble. Just look at how concerned they are about the Druze.

            crickets

            Exactly.

              Sadly true, but its different this time because the west is funding and supporting it-- and keeping middle eastern and arab nations in check too.

              just read some of your comment history, dagwood. This is you huh. Well time for the old block user button. I dont have time for holocaust deniers.

              There is no occupation. Israel is a sovereign nation that won its right to exist in several defensive wars.

                That’s right, hit that block button, block out the truth, while making a false allegation about holocaust denial.

      The death numbers tell a tale of a people who attacked a foe that they had absolutely no chance of beating.

      Hamas thought that they could kill Jews, take hostages, then hide behind civilians and cry to the world to stop Israel from retaliating. Israel usually does, but this time, Israel has decided that playing nice with Hamas only gets people killed.

      They celebrated as Hamas paraded around corpses and hostages. That celebratory cheer became wails of despair when Israel decided that enough was enough.

      Much like a violent teen punk who loves to punch people he thinks won’t fight back on camera, then acts tough, their tune changed real fast when the guy Hamas sucker punched decided to punch back and kept punching.

      If Palestinians weren’t constantly attacking Israel, there wouldn’t be an issue. Plenty of Palestinians lived and live in Israel peacefully. You can’t say the opposite.
