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.

    regular people in israel are told constantly that muslim people hate them because they are jewish. it’s the narrative that is used every time they hear about rockets flying over. they live in the old testament. they think this is the only way that things could ever be, because of some curse put on them by god.

    the middle east needs atheism.

      regular people in israel

      They are Euroanglo-Zionazi Settler-Colonialists.

      Euro, because most of them are European, most previously came from Eastern Europe, and on top of that, the white settlers dominate the political, social and economic aspects of the entity. Nowadays they come from all over, but the largest influx is still from Europe, the aforementioned dominating group is the same.

      Anglo, because USonian, Australian, Canadian, etc… settlers just couldn’t get enough out of settling in land that don’t belong to them, so they want a take-two.

      Zionist, because the settlers needed a crutch to justify their presence, their occupation and the existence of the entity, the settlers chose Judaism for their symbolism (don’t get it twisted, Zionism is not a religious belief), and bastardized the living hell out of it to create an artificial identity of their own and to purposefully conflate the religion with their racist, white supremacist, colonial beliefs.

      Nazi, because Zionism is the successor to Nazism (again, nothing to do with Judaism).

      Settler, because they’re occupiers forcing their presence upon the indigenous’ land via expulsion, ethnic cleansing, genocide, etc… to make way for more settlers.

      Colonialist, because they’re stealing the land’s resources from its rightful people, because they are trying to canonize the Indigenous’ food, art, way of life, history, etc… as part of their own superficial “culture”, because they’re revising history to justify even more settler-colonialist behaviors described here.

      I’m saying all of this because there are no “regular people” in the entity. At best, they are reservists. To monolithize the Euroanglo-Zionazi entity with every other country from the “Middle East”, then suggest that religion (a HUGE contributing factor to the actual culture of West Asia) should be erased from the collective consciousness of Levantine and Gulf Muslims, Jews (not European Zionazis) and Christians whom at one point co-existed just fine* without the West’s meddling, all because of the actions of settler-colonialists, is downright ignorant, knowing all of the previously mentioned descriptors.


      * There were some minor problems (relatively speaking), but none of them justify Westerners playing dress-up and going into land that don’t belong to them.

      That starts and ends with the Euroanglo-zionazis fucking off where they belong to, or facing resistance. They’ve had decades upon decades to do so.

      Where denazification should actually take place is within their respective home countries from they actually come from. But sadly none of this seems to be ever happening soon, or at all.

        I don’t think they should be sent back before at least being forced to see their crimes with their own eyes. Denazification is much harder without that first step of shoving their nose in their crimes, they need to see it.

        And then they can go back to Europe.

          Why should the indigenous have to wait until the entire sex abusing lunatic Euroanglo-Zionazi society are done looking at their own crimes against humanity, when they already have for 90+ years and already have livestreamed their own warcrimes that include their own laughter before for the entire world to see?

          Descending from the Discovery Doctrine, then Manifest Destiny, then Lebensraum, then to today’s Greater “Israel”, we should understand that the West never learned their lesson, and never intend to do so today or tomorrow, not Germany, not France, not the U.S., and especially not the Zionazi settlers. Even if denazification were to take place in the way that you suggest, it doesn’t change the fact that they are settlers, occupiers and a whole lot among them sex criminals, all currently occupying the land rightfully belonging to Palestinians.

          It’s not even an ultra position to want settlers out and to want landback (even both of these and Nuremberg would be too kind of a punishment given the depravity of the entity and its vile society).

          If I haven’t stressed this enough or hinted at this, I urge you to consider focusing on the liberation of the occupied, not on solving the occupier’s depravity.

        That’s why they need denazification. Much like the Germans they need to be given a thorough tour of the concentration camps.

        As a start.

          Why would they need to tour what they likely had a hand in building and running during their mandatory military duty? Instead of empathy you’d merely inspire nostalgia.

            A lot of them simply haven’t actually seen what is happening or they think it’s all lies. Rubbing their noses in it would have at least some effect.

            But that’s just the start.

            They also need to have their government abolished and all their war criminals tried for their crimes.

              A lot of them simply haven’t actually seen what is happening or they think it’s all lies.

              Unfortunately that is not true. The problem is that they do see it, and they like it. They applaud it, they get off on it.

              They organize parties to watch the bombings, they have hundreds of telegram channels proudly sharing some of the most horrific and psychopathic atrocities and congratulating themselves for it. They are ecstatic about how much terror and death and suffering they are inflicting. Genocidal rhetoric is completely and totally normalized in the “Israeli” mainstream. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg compared to what is shared and expressed in private.

              This is not a society that is unaware of what is happening. This is a society that knows exactly what it is doing, loves it, and in a bloodthirsty frenzy cheers for more, demands more. Even the Germans knew, despite their weaselly denials and claims of ignorance after the war, what was happening. It is impossible that they didn’t know, but at least back then their denials could be spun as semi-believable because there were no videos and livestreams of the atrocities. There is no such plausible denial today.

                And what do they see? They see what the government wants them to see, they don’t see interviews with Palestinians or humanitarian workers or doctors. They need to turn off internal Israeli media and watch Al Jazeera or DemocracyNow for that. What they’re seeing is propaganda, not reality.

                They’re not unaware of what’s happening, per se, but they have been programmed by Israeli propaganda and only made aware of what Israel wants them to know. The start of deprogramming them would be to give them an unfiltered look at Gaza.

                And then the reeducation can begin. Don’t get me wrong, these sick freaks need serious intervention beyond just a tour of the concentration camp.

                But I really think they need that first step.

      Polls are rubbish, but assuming this one is completely accurate:

      Israel’s population is 9,842,000 (per Wikipedia). 24% (those that don’t believe either partially or fully that Gazans are universally guilty) is ~2.4 million. A gathering of thousands in that population is not unreasonable, especially with a war on that directly impacts their quality of life.

      That said: only one city seems to be over 500k people (Jerusalem) and I have doubts people are travelling very far to march about.
