A new survey showing that 82 percent of Jewish Israelis support the expulsion of Gazans was met with disbelief among those who stubbornly believe that the extremists are outliers. But these trends are as consistent as they are shocking

    This poll is disgusting

    Why do you inquiry people based on their religion, and not their social class or nationality ? Or their implication in the settlements ? They may have interesting numbers their, but this poll decided to racialize the conflict.

    Why shall we trust a poll in fascist state at war, that conclude that the leader have the support of the nationality of that fascim ? That really seems like propaganda.

      Why do you inquiry people based on their religion, and not their social class or nationality ?

      Because Israel, in effect, has two different nationalities: Jewish Israeli and Palestinian Israeli. Polling without considering this simply results in less useful data.

        so you say that nationalities are more accurate than religion. That’s my point

          They’re citizenships, not nationalities.

          Israel does this almost unique thing in the World which is split Citizenship from Nationality, with those who have the former only having the latter if they’re Jews (constitutionally only a Jew can be an Israeli national). Further Israeli Citizenship is broken into Jewish Israeli and Non-Jewish Israeli, with the latter having less rights than the former (for example, Non-Jewish Israeli Citizens require “authorization” from local authorities to go live in certain parts of the country).

          Israel was set up as an Apartheid state from the very beginning.

          That said the other poster made a mistake: Palestinians are not Israelis - not even Non-Jewish Israeli Citizens - and have no rights at all in Israel. Further, there is no right to Israeli Citizenship by being born in Israel (unless you’re a Jew: any Jew, anywhere in the World, has a right to Israeli Nationality, which also gives them Jewish Israeli Citizenship).

          This has interesting effects such as people whose families have lived in Jerusalem for generations not having Israeli Citizenship because it was denied to them even though they were born there and lived there their whole lives. Of course, all of these people are not Jewish as all Jews constitutionally have a right to Israeli Nationality.

          So By Law Israel has 3 different classes of people living there, in decreasing order of the rights they have:

          • Jews, which by law are all Israeli Nationals (a Jew can literally arrive in Tel-Aviv, ask for Israeli Nationality and get it) and hence are also Jewish Israeli Citizens.
          • Non-Jewish Israeli Citizens
          • Non-Israeli Citizen, which includes all Palestinians even those born in the territory of Israel as Israel can and frequently does simply refuse to give them even just Non-Jewish Israeli Citizenship.

              The don’t gatekeep Jewishness, they gatekeep Israeli Nationality on the basis of being Jewish or not.

              I have no idea how they determine who is a Jew and who is not.

              What I do know, which is pretty damn interesting, is that Etiopian Jews, who are Black, did got Israeli Nationality when they came to Israel and asked for it, same as all other Jews but from what I read the State Of Israel still treated them differently (for example, see here, though this being Britain and the BBC they’re likely reporting a milder subset of reality).

              Good old white colonialism…

                If the Germans could determine whether someone was Jewish, I’m sure there must be several perfectly reasonable and objective ways of doing it.

            Nationalities (or citizenships has pointed by @Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) are made by the ruling class, and have no reality in it-selves. I don’t say we couldn’t used those categories, but we have to stay critic.

            If not, we will hide some solidarity or antagonism between class. Israel threat a lot of people, including Jews (Falashas, Sefarad, Yiddish, …), and is supported by anti-semits (radical evangelists, far right party, nazi organization), …

            A poll based on legal categories in an apartheid state is accurate. However, using the name chosen by the nationalist propaganda (i.e “Jews” and not “Jewish Citizenship”) is taking part in this propaganda, and have disastrous effect.

      This is not the first pollster that finds these results. You are probably just unfamiliar with how fascist Israeli society is.

        That’s not the point. This a fascist state, which imply a massive support from the population, their is no debate.

        So we have to stop being so naive. What say those numbers ? Who allow those numbers to exists ? What those numbers do not tell ? Why nobody ask themselves those questions ?

        • Those numbers in showing racial struggle may hide social struggle or imperialist struggle
        • in a fascist state at ware, this poll could have been invisibilized or forbid by the Israel. So, it may help it’s propaganda
        • I don’t think any difference in the support of Israeli people to they fascist government that the support of people in western countries to their own government. In focusing in this imperialistic situation, may be a lot of people could avoid to fight it. Even if we are more efficient their, and it’s may help Palestine

        Finally, some racist people may attack jews around the world because of the confusion made between us and Israel. And again, that confusion is one of the objective of Israel propaganda

            All my statements are against the state of Israel (and any imperialist state), and against Zionism (and every state nationalism). I’m just afraid that people are confused between jews and zionist. And you short reading trend to prove my right

      Zionism is a religious movement.

      It’s also nationalist, and jewish supremacist.

      Also religion is the main tool used to make people commit atrocities.

        No, it’s not. Again the biggest organization that support zionism is evangelist. A lot of atheist people are atheist, and a lot of jews are not zionist, or are anti-zionist. You making short link that break solidarity and make confusion their.

        Yes religion used to justify nationalism, colonialist, imperialist and apaththeid… as a propaganda. We don’t fighting Israej in repeating its propaganda.

        Yiddish culture has piratically been destroy by Israel policy. Jews from Ethiopia (Falashas) has been sterilized by force the Israel. Being Jews or not is unrelated with Israel.

          The ideology that the jewish people are owed the promised land of Jerusalem, by god, and that any means to control that holy land are justified, is 100% absolutely a RELIGIOUS extremist beleif.

            During demo for palestine, we were a lot of Jews; some not practising, some without belief, and some orthodoxe. If you are surprised, by one of those statement, you may reconsider what you think of who are jews or not; because is neither to you or Israel to decide.

            Christian Bible said that everyone have to be convert; I would not say that every Christian are intolerant to other bielief. It’s obvious that every christians to not believe in eevrything in the bible. Why Jews couldn’t do the same with the Torah ?

            Living in a land is unrelated to forbid anyone else to do the same. Jews where diving there for millennium before the colonization. And finally, if you thing that we all have to be fundamentalists, the Torah said that the diaspora is is a divine punition, and that this is the role of the messiah to lead us to Israel. Lots of orthodoxe are anti-zionist saying that only god thogh the messiah could allow us to move in Israel.

              Jews and Zionists are two distinct groups.

              Zionists are jewish extremists, just like ISIS is an extremist islamic group.

                No Zionist are not jews extremists. . Some Jews extremist are, and zionist are not jews. Some Zionist are christians extremist, some zionist are atheist. Zionism is preteding to defend Jewish people. Its racist and colonial against people of Palestine, people from maghreb or Africa, and it could be antisemitic too : https://lemmy.wtf/post/22551217
