Majority of Israeli Jews ‘support the removal of Palestinians from Gaza’
Majority of Israeli Jews ‘support the removal of Palestinians from Gaza’
The attacks occurred in Gaza’s Beit Lahiya, Khan Younis and al-Maghazi areas on Thursday, the Gaza Health Ministry says.
I tried, but failed, to find the poll Loewenstein referred to when he was quoted saying: “There was a poll just this week that found 70-80 percent of Israeli Jews support...", regarding what the title claims. Please share if you have it, I find it hard to believe this poll exists.
This is the only thing I could find
The Direct Polls survey that was published last Thursday (Direct Polls: Gantz and Bibi Neck-and-Neck, Smotrich Beats the Threshold) included the question: “To what degree do you support encouraging the voluntary emigration of Gaza Strip residents?”
The response of 1,487 adults (18+) who are a representative sample of the general population in Israel, with a statistical sampling error of ± 3.9%, at a 95% probability, was overwhelmingly in favor of the idea.
68% support it strongly
15% are quite supportive
8% don’t really support it
9% don’t support it at all
The other part that makes no sense:
"finding somewhere else for Palestinians in Gaza to be removed. Israel claims that this is somehow voluntary, which is nonsense."
Where should they be removed? How do you expect them to get there when the borders for Gaza are closed?
Feels like we've seen this movie before...

Describing Gaza and the West Bank as reservations really helps Americans understand what Israel is doing.
Seems like Al Jazeera should have cited it since they published the story but I cannot find it either.
In other news, majority of Palestinians support the removal of Israeli settlers from the West Bank.
Maybe they could work out a swap?
But first, Hamas must be destroyed, and Hamas's supporter Netanyahu prosecuted.
Hamas is an ideology. Even Israel recently stated this and said you can't stop an ideology. This dovetails perfectly into the sentiment of this article. Both together, plus idf actions show genocide is really what they want.
We can't stop an ideology, but we can destroy governments based on an obnoxious ideology. And that is progress, obviously. Japanese Militarism, Soviet Communism, Nazi Fascism, Italian Fascism, Spanish Fascism... all still around as fringe ideologies, but I'm sure most of us are happy that governments that held these ideologies fell. Israel obviously is trying to destroy the current Hamas government in Gaza, not kill all of the residents.
Yeah, because they are genocidal lunatics.
Sure, but the majority of gazans support Hamas
Both before and after the attacks
So same conclusion then?
Yes. They are all shitty.
No, because it's a natural human reaction on danger - they want to eliminate it, everything be damned.
Not even blaming them, despite them being super wrong with big consequences. All we can do is reach out and try to explain that their army is causing even more suffering some of them just endured, and that not all Palestinians are the kinds of guys who broke into Israel.
Surprise, surprise. Israelis want to genocide Gazans.
No no, they just want some Lebensraum
"Removal", how exactly? Because doing it with bombs isn't very efficient so far. Are they looking into a final solution already? Fucking embarrassing...
Well, you know how Nazi Germany dealt with their 'Jewish Problem'?
Israel is currently dealing with their 'Palestinian Problem'.
Zionists are Nazis.
That's exactly what I was hinting, by using the term 'final solution'.
Thank you, for using the words 'zionists' as this is a zionist / Israel issue and not a Jewish issue. We can support Palestinians without being antisemitic.
Israel does EXACTLY what nazi Germany did. Apartheid, locking them up in ghettos, starving them, exterminate them.
We need a war tribunal for the entire Israeli government and IDF. IDF is like the SS, seeing how inhumane they are and the amount of horrible war crimes they commit.
All of that while Israel still dares to pull the holocaust victim card when anyone tells them to stop. Disgusting.
You bomb the infrastructure until the whole area is unlivable, then you graciously allow them to cross the border into Egypt. Textbook ethnic cleansing.
The majority are brainwashed like in every country that is doing bad shit America included. The woke are few and far between. Most are eat the status quo and keep on trucking types. They will eat shit til they die and not care.
For Israel, the goal is "from the river to the sea" - without Palestinians.
Genocide
Nazi's gonna Nazi
ha, is this a 'no shit' article or what. your 'country' is currently steamrolling over the entire area, razing it to the ground.
ya think??
Wonder if any of these Israelis will feel shame in 20 years after all this negative energy dies down.
This war should end with a Palestinian corridor the ensure connection between west Bank and Gaza
Sorry, but I just don’t trust polls anymore. They never really get a representation of the public as a whole and instead end up talking with the only interested parties: bored conservative old people.
That's probably true, but that's also the large majority of voters often so it can still represent something.
