79% of Israeli Jews untroubled by reports of famine in Gaza.

Lies.

Weren’t we repeatedly told that Israel is a democracy? Netanyahu is upholding what Israelis want and what the American Jews backing Israel want.

As for the the survey above, that's a eye-catching headline but it's just one look at a very complex situation. For another perspective, here's an article from the Times of Israel about the residents of Kibbutz Nir Oz, which was ravaged on 10/7, turning a ceremony about rebuilding their kibbutz into a protest against the government's intention to occupy Gaza. https://www.timesofisrael.com/kibbutz-nir-oz-suspends-cornerstone-laying-event-to-protest-cabinet-meeting-on-gaza-plan/

Just like the US, Israel is a complex place and no single survey can tell the whole story. Take some time and look at the protests, many of which have been going on for months, the op-eds, the statements by opposition leaders, etc. Plenty of Israelis know the difference between right and wrong and are demanding that their government hear their voices.[/quote]

All I see around MoCo synagogues are, “We stand for Israel,” signs. I have not seen even one ceasefire sign at a synagogue in the nation’s capital. [/quote]

Translation: I am unwilling to even entertain the idea that the decision that I’ve already made about American Jews might need to be reevaluated in the face of an evolving understanding of the situation and/or the admission that not all American Jews are in lockstep agreement with one another or the institutions in which they pray, and so instead I’m simply going to announce that the signs outside the buildings I drive part are clearly proof of the opinions and beliefs of 100% of the Jews around me.[/quote]
