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.

    “The volk are bad” is the whole premise behind eugenics and genocide to begin with. It’s how you get to mass media referring to rival ethnicities and neighboring populations as “bug people” and stirring up existential dread of The Mob of Others.

    We’ve had an uninterrupted sixty year string of refugees moving to Israel, getting handed parcels of stolen land, meeting the people it was stolen from, and then having the government/media say “THEY WANT TO KILL YOU!” over and over again while they further immiserate the captive native population.

    “Obviously, the problem here is that people are inherently awful” seems to miss the deliberately engineered madness machine that is driving otherwise normal, peaceful, happy people into a frenzy of desperation and hate.
