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.

    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.
