The vast majority of Israelis say they are not troubled by reports of famine and suffering in Gaza, a new poll released by the Israel Democracy Institute shows.

The survey shows that 79 percent of Jews in Israel were not troubled, or troubled at all, whereas 86 percent of “Arab” respondents were somewhat or very troubled by the reports about the war on Gaza.

The survey was conducted between 27-31 July.

That's what you get when you brainwash the population from a very early age to think of themselves as God's chosen, and to consider all their neighbors and everyone who disagrees with the God's chosen to be subhuman bloodthirsty barbarians with no redeeming qualities...

Even if we started right this very moment (not that anyone will, mind you), it would take years, perhaps generations of intense deprogramming effort to fix it, which makes me extremely sad :(

Well that's fucking disturbing. Even people in prison have no mercy on child killers.

Israel is a deeply fascist society at it's core

Yes, we have seen ample evidence that the majority of Israeli citizens are sociopaths.

No different than most Westerners in that regard

people are starting to get "sick and tired" or "over" gaza and it's mindboggling that they treat it like was a some sort of fad.

They basically see it the same way they see animal habitat destruction or Japanese Whaling. Like, it's sad that these animals are being killed, but it's not like actual people are dying.

I'm sure YHWH is proud of them.
