  • Let’s remember the polling data.

    Another question asked in the aChord poll was to what extent respondents agreed with the statement that “there are no innocent people in Gaza.” Sixty-four percent agreed with it to a large extent (describing their agreement as between 4 and 6 on a scale in which 1 is total disagreement and 6 is complete agreement). Among supporters of the governing coalition, 87 percent agreed with the statement to a large extent. Among supporters of Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu party and other right-wing voters who don’t support the coalition, 73 percent largely agreed. Among voters for centrist parties, the comparable figure was 67 percent, while among left-wing voters, 30 percent largely agreed. Among Arab Israeli respondents, 92 percent disagreed (meaning that they ranked their agreement as between 1 and 3).

    If there are no innocents in Gaza, then why would the average Israeli even feel shame for what the IOF does? It’s all a part of the genocide. It will not end voluntarily. It seems that there must be force involved to stop it.

    Learning in my 20’s of what Israel, the righteous land that we praised in song during Seders, had done in the past, is part of what turned me away.

    Never Again is an absolute. There can be no genocide allowed, regardless of who the people are.

    “Children in solitary confinement” should be a sentence that no one has ever uttered. Well, according to a significant number of Israeli’s, that kid was going to become a terrorist, so they should nip it in the bud.
