Survey on Channel 13 showed that the majority of Israelis do not want aid to enter Gaza. In this case, the government is an accurate reflection of its people.

I'm so outraged about this. I donated money to Save the Children today. If there is anything else I can do please post. |
I believe it was created as a settlement in the 18th century by the British who wanted to build a market in the Middle East for their goods. It's a pretty complicated history. |
I blame Biden. He stuck with Israel despite clear evidence the government of Israel was committing war crimes. Maybe that was part of his dementia. If he'd been sharper, he might have seen clearly what was happening. |
Not sure I follow. More and more people are losing sympathy for Israelis because Israelis were slaughtered on October 7? |
No, it’s because Israel’s wiping out of Gaza (starvation of Palestinians, sniper shootings of children, destruction of hospitals, targeting relief groups, etc.) is a disproportionate response to October 7. Even Israeli soldiers are protesting: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/protest-letters-from-former-israeli-soldiers-reveal-major-rifts-over-ongoing-war-in-gaza |
OK, so the argument has now shifted to it’s a “disproportionate” response. That is progress. |
Civilized people generally don’t elevate certain groups of people above others, so “of Jews” is a completely immaterial distinction to most. At this point, 50 dead Palestinians in the past 18 months for every 1 dead Israeli on 10/7 makes the point clear. Israel is very clearly the problem. Full stop. |
Um...ok. You can also blame Trump, the current President. He's continuing to fund billions of American tax dollars to Israel to provide military aid despite UN reports showing that thousands of children in Gaza will starve to death soon. |
DP The squawking that “nobody is denouncing Hamas!” was only occurring in your propaganda bubble, so you apparently missed that it was always a matter of disproportionate response that had the non-psychos protesting the slaughter and genocide in Gaza. Try to keep up. |
Huh, and here I thought that at least some civilized people thought that Hamas was, like, at least part of the problem. |
Uh, I don’t think that pointing out that Hamas perpetrated the slaughter of October 7 is “propaganda.” Rather, it is what is called a fact. |
Correct. Another adjective would be “indiscriminate,” as stated in this OHCHR report, covering only October to December 2023: https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/countries/opt/20240619-ohchr-thematic-report-indiscrim-disprop-attacks-gaza-oct-dec2023.pdf Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert’s view of the war: What Israel “is doing now in Gaza is very close to a war crime.” “a war without a purpose — a war without a chance of achieving anything that can save the lives of the hostages.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/former-pm-olmert-tells-bbc-israeli-actions-in-gaza-close-to-a-war-crime/amp/ Yair Golan, Former IDF commander stated: “A sane state does not wage war against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not set itself the goal of depopulating the population” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj422k1zzd9o.amp |
Yes. These are principled Israelis who are showing you can keep your moral compass and defend the Palestinians against Israeli atrocities despite what Netanyahu does. |
Unfortunately, these views are in the minority. Polling shows most Israelis support the continued blockade of aid and starvation of Gaza's population. |
