I tried, but failed, to find the poll Loewenstein referred to when he was quoted saying: “There was a poll just this week that found 70-80 percent of Israeli Jews support...", regarding what the title claims. Please share if you have it, I find it hard to believe this poll exists.

The other part that makes no sense:

"finding somewhere else for Palestinians in Gaza to be removed. Israel claims that this is somehow voluntary, which is nonsense."

Where should they be removed? How do you expect them to get there when the borders for Gaza are closed?

Feels like we've seen this movie before...

Where should they be removed?

That's a tough problem. Maybe concentrate them in camps until they've found a final solution.

Describing Gaza and the West Bank as reservations really helps Americans understand what Israel is doing.

This is the only thing I could find

https://www.jewishpress.com/news/eye-on-palestine/gaza/poll-83-of-israelis-support-voluntary-emigration-from-gaza/2023/12/24/

The Direct Polls survey that was published last Thursday (Direct Polls: Gantz and Bibi Neck-and-Neck, Smotrich Beats the Threshold) included the question: “To what degree do you support encouraging the voluntary emigration of Gaza Strip residents?”

The response of 1,487 adults (18+) who are a representative sample of the general population in Israel, with a statistical sampling error of ± 3.9%, at a 95% probability, was overwhelmingly in favor of the idea.

68% support it strongly

15% are quite supportive

8% don’t really support it

9% don’t support it at all

Thanks! Seems close enough. I would still take anything coming out of Channel 14 with a grain of salt. It is considered to be Bibi's propoganda channel 🤷

Did you realize that "support" appears in each response ?

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Are you aware of the meaning of the word "not"?

[-] cranakis@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Seems like Al Jazeera should have cited it since they published the story but I cannot find it either.

In other news, majority of Palestinians support the removal of Israeli settlers from the West Bank.

Maybe they could work out a swap?

But first, Hamas must be destroyed, and Hamas's supporter Netanyahu prosecuted.

[-] t0m5k1@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Hamas is an ideology. Even Israel recently stated this and said you can't stop an ideology. This dovetails perfectly into the sentiment of this article. Both together, plus idf actions show genocide is really what they want.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Wtf are you talking about, there is no swap to be made. Both Gaza and the entirety of the West Bank belong to Palestinians. There is plenty of land in Israel proper, the settlers should just GTFO.

[-] Altofaltception@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Surprise, surprise. Israelis want to genocide Gazans.

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

No no, they just want some Lebensraum

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

This war should end with a Palestinian corridor the ensure connection between west Bank and Gaza

[-] stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Sorry, but I just don’t trust polls anymore. They never really get a representation of the public as a whole and instead end up talking with the only interested parties: bored conservative old people.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 8 months ago

Wonder if any of these Israelis will feel shame in 20 years after all this negative energy dies down.

[-] IHadTwoCows@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago

Big ups to Israel for proving all the antisemites correct. Way to go, dumbasses.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 0 points 8 months ago
