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.

    I will never claim that all jews are bad because Israel is fucked up, nor will I ever claim that all catholics are bad because of the Spanish Inquisition or all muslims are bad because of the terrorists. It is true that not all people who follow those religions are bad.

    However, one cannot deny the religious motivations. They are doing this because they believe that their sky daddy promised them that land, just like the catholics who did commit the inquisition believed their sky daddy wanted a pure catholic europe, and the racidal muslims believe their sky daddy wants to punish unvelievers/misbelievers.

      If the only country that revolves around your religion is this evil, maybe it’s time to put a thinking cap on instead of whatever religious headwear you have and take a deep look into your soul

      And if after that you still think that whatever mumbo-jumbo you believe is all right then maybe it’s time to remove yourself from our collective gene pool

        This is just ignorant. There’s only 14 million Jews in the world and 90% of them either live in the US or Israel. If there were 1.9 billion Jews like there were muslims, for example, we would start seeing a bunch of different states that act very differently from other. I think most people can agree that Iran under the Mullah regime and Afghanistan under the Taliban are evil, but at the same time, there are also islamic countries like Albania and Kazakhstan that are pretty normal. Trying to judge all Jews off the actions off of the actions of Israel, it’s like judging all muslims off of the actions of Pakistan or all Christians off of the actions of Brazil. It’s just silly.

          It’s ignorant to call out dumbasses who believe in fairy tales? Okay then, haven’t seen this sort of Zionist propaganda before

            No, there’s a difference between being critical of a religion and judging an entire religious demographic on the actions of a particular state.

              Nah, if you believe in mumbo jumbo you bet I’ll judge you as a less intelligent being. If you believe in some unprovable being that’s being used as a scapegoat for genocide you’re no better than the people committing said genocide

                I’m not defending religion here. I’m with you on that. I’m just saying that it’s wrong to generalize an entire demographic for the action of a specific entity that has little to do with them. Israel =/= Jews or Judaism. Again, this is like judging all 1.9 billion muslims for the actions of the Taliban. It’s fine if you want to be critical of Judaism or islam or any other religion, it’s also fine if you want to be critical Israel or Afghanistan or any other state, but judging an entire demographic for the actions of a state just because of their religion? Now we’re starting to get too close to bigotry territory.
