It’s the closest article I could find without having to go on an hours-long rabbit hole of trying to find out something better. Sorry about that.

But yeah, it is interesting. Tbh it kinda reminds me about how half of Russia supports the war in Ukraine and half of the US supported Trump. Half of everyone (or half of everyone who’s making their voice heard) is going nuts these days

Haaretz seems to be a better alternative. Wiki says it’s left leaning and praised for its reporting and commentary.

And of course! Can’t trust much these days unfortunately.

So I did a little research on this -mostly because every Israeli person I’ve talked to IRL and online vehemently hates what their government is doing. And I found that this article states that the poll was taken from Israel Hayom, which according to Wikipedia is:

Owned by the family of Sheldon Adelson, a personal friend and benefactor of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Hayomhas often been criticized for portraying Netanyahu in an overly positive light.[8] In turn, Netanyahu has been accused of attempting to benefit Adelson’s investments.

Basically, careful where you get your sources. A Palestinian YouTuber I follow said “don’t trust Western media” and I have to back up that statement here. These people have an agenda, and Israel Hayom’s agenda is to help make Bibi look good.

Somewhat related, I have a funny story related to Killer Klowns.

My local movie theatre had a live screening of it several years ago that I went to with a friend. I had never seen it before, I barely ate that day and had just gotten off of a 13 hour shift, and of COURSE I had to get one of those terrible canned cocktails. So there I am, shit faced in the back row, my friend sitting next to me, I’m whispering my reactions to him to whole time, when at the end of the movie it’s revealed that the other guy sitting next to me was one of the brothers who worked on the movie.

I don’t remember a lot of that night but my friend said he recognized him immediately but didn’t say anything. Apparently the guy looked happy to sit next to someone drunkenly reacting to his movie for the first time in their lives.
