A poll conducted by an Israeli organisation has revealed that the vast majority of Israeli Jews believe there are "no innocents" in the Gaza Strip. aChord, a research group linked to Hebrew University specialising in social psychology, said 76 percent of the Jewish public partially or fully agree that "there are no innocents in Gaza".

The survey found that even among Israeli opposition voters, 47 percent fully supported the claim, while among Jewish opposition voters, a majority also agrees with the claim. Researcher Ron Gerlitz described the results of the survey as "difficult findings" that indicated attitudes that fed into acceptance of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab sentiment in Israel has been growing in recent years, targeting both Palestinians in the occupied territories and Palestinian citizens of Israel. Last week, a Palestinian bus driver in Israel was attacked by a group of Jewish youths shouting "death to Arabs", the latest incident in a string of racist attacks on Palestinian citizens of Israel. The bus driver, Mohammed Abd al-Hadi, told Ynet the incident happened after he asked the young passengers to stop screaming and vandalising the vehicle. "They insulted me and shouted racist sayings like 'Jew - good; Arab - son of a removed' and 'death to Arabs'," he said.

Data such as this convinces me more and more that there are no innocents in Tel Aviv.

It would be fun to hear that 76% scream if someone said the same about the Jewish kids in concentration camps.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 53 minutes ago

there would be international uproar by the APIAC, and from jewish Donors, plus pr-zionist groups.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 hours ago

It would be great to get a link to the actual study.

[-] humanoidchaos@lemmy.cif.su 4 points 11 hours ago

I feel bad for the Israelis that have to deal with the backlash 1000 years from now.

Israel should honestly be treated like Antarctica at this point, only with more international security.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I'm honestly worried about the backlash personally, even though I support Palestine and have never been to the Middle East.

Nice job, Zionists. You've breathed new life into antisemitism.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 hours ago

It's going to be like South Africa. Most of them will leave back to Europe the moment their genocide party is over.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 hours ago

Do you think Europe would take them in? They're not too fond of migrants who haven't even done anything, these days.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 52 minutes ago

especially with all the anti-immigration propaganda surfacing recently, Turkey making statement against ISrael, as they dont want the migrants either.

[-] nearhat@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

A not-insignificant number of Israelis are recent immigrants or descendants thereof who maintain dual citizenship, “just in case”. Law abiding citizens can always return to their nations.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Uh, looks like it's estimated at about 10%.

Which is honestly lower than I even would have expected. Because, yeah, just in case.

[-] nearhat@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

The point is that they have a choice to remain as equal citizens under a One State solution, where Palestinian refugees and their descendants can exercise their right of return, as well as receive just compensation for their losses. They (the Zionists) just won’t have preferential treatment. As soon as they accept that, then the Zionist project crumbles.

That's literally why everyone else with a brain on the planet considers what they're doing a genocide... because they have decided CHILDREN are "not innocent."

What an absolutely fucked up way to live and think.

[-] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 3 points 53 minutes ago

This is how religious lunatics think. Zionists are radical religious nutjobs.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago

It's sociopathic behavior on a large scale. Three quarters of the population... This is insane.

[-] NotKyloRen@lemmy.zip 11 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I don't know why people act surprised when it's been generations of this:

Old: https://youtu.be/MQ1TAOibLss

And young: https://youtu.be/FSlUpltK5Kw

There are much older videos of kids in their living rooms and kids in other classrooms interacting with teachers, talking about how they're going to take back the land and wipe out the people.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

Well then i guess a vast majority of Israelis are evil genocidal douchebags.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Most people are, given the chance.

[-] PanGodofPanic 3 points 1 hour ago

...no, no they really aren't. It takes a lifetime of propaganda to indoctrinate someone into thinking that way. There's a reason most militaries have to work very, very hard to psychologically condition soldiers to actually pull the trigger with another human on the other end of the barrel: it's deeply antithetical to standard human instincts. This shit is intentionally, specifically induced sociopathy.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 44 minutes ago

thats why they have military propaganda, either through shows or movies.

[-] decended_being@midwest.social 7 points 14 hours ago

Propaganda's a helluva drug

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

Have those kids tried not being born in Palestine?

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 57 minutes ago

or try not getting bombed, or try not existing there- says the israelis int eh polls.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 20 points 1 day ago

These are dark times.

How else could you rationalize your/your loved ones' murderous past and/or present as an IDF soldier? God won't look at these vile transgressors kindly... but they aren't the first European colonizers to find themselves in this position, ofc.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 hours ago

You don't even need to say European, really. Japan still isn't sorry. We do a lot of this as a species.

[-] tensor_nightly69@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It would definitely be nice if there were a god to punish these people, but sadly that's not the case.

I'll remain hopeful. 🤞

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Well the Israelis have been doing their best to get rid of them...
