MODERATORS
 

The Jewish People Policy Institute Israel Index survey found that 8 out of 10 Jewish Israelis agreed with Trump's proposal of expelling Palestinians from Gaza.

Forty-three percent of all Israelis said that the expulsion plan was "practical" and should be implemented, while 30 percent said the plan was "desirable" but not practical.

A minority of 13 percent - made of up 54 percent of Palestinian respondents and just three percent of Jewish Israelis - described the Trump plan as "immoral".

They need to travel more. Americans need to travel less. Once they see how many other countries have more than one mono culture, they will realize why us in the US think we have freedom.... And why we are really angry currently at the Republican party in general for wanting to diminish that freedom we fought for.

How convenient that Israel can rebrand their original plan to the "Trump plan".

Holocausts for thee but not for me

Fuck liberal Zionists for complaining about progroms for all these decades. This is what you enabled. Fuck all the talk about two state solutions. Israel should no longer exist unless it becomes a multi ethnic democracy with full rights for Palestinians.

Signed,

A Jewish guy

How hard would it be to have a complete religious schism from the Israelis? They are lost and irredeemable.

Schumer is 🙂 right now

Hard to feel bad for the genocided when they become the genociders.

This is a damning result for Israeli society.

I have minimal knowledge of sociological research in Israel/Palestine, but if this result is an accurate representation of the views of Israeli Jews, then we can with confidence say that an overwhelming majority of Israeli Jews support genocidal colonialism.

Always has been. Look up Tel Aviv University's peace index for more despair juice. There should be a findings link if you want to see the depravity of Jewish Israeli society in detail.

Israel is so unbelievably cooked as a society holy shit.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 18 hours ago

Always has been. Honestly it's impressive that they managed to even survive as a democracy for sp long, but it seems to be coming to an end (please Bibi we're counting on you).

Religion is just a complicated excuse for violence

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

Zionism is a political ideology, not religious. In fact it's completely opposed to judaism as it has existed for thousands of years. It's goals are explicitly political (eg. genocide and ethnic cleansing) without any relation to the actual religion of judaism. For this reason it's anti-semitic to claim that zionism is a jewish or religious ideology.

The only religion here is fascism - the worship of the state.

And pedophilia! Don't forget about all the Pedophiles!

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago (18 children)

Dude don't blame this on religion. This is Zionism and fascism, both of which are post-Enlightenment Western inventions through and through.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 11 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Religion is excellent cover for it, though.

Adding to this, PunkRockSportsFan ignores that religion has been used to end violence. Christianity was a huge part in the US abolitionist movement.

[–] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I mean you can't play that card when the entirety of slavery was justified by that same Christianity up until the point that a civil war ended the argument. Again, religion had nothing to do with it besides giving conviction to anyone based on what they feel, in their head, god wants. Abolitionists were religious just like every other person in america in 1880, and Abolitionists were not the majority.

Uh... No? Slavers made up race to justify slavery specifically because they couldn't use Christianity to justify it anymore.

[–] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Ah okay so just up to that point lmao

Ever heard of the Quakers? Quite a few * other sects.

How many wars have been fought because of religion? Religions very commonly use fear as a method of control (Christians even invented hell just for that purpose). This makes them unfortunately well suited for fascist takeover.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago (9 children)

The shit? The pioneers of fascism—Hitler and Mussolini—appealed to the Enlightenment-era ideologies of race and nationalism a lot more than they appealed to religion, and Ben Gurion was an atheist. Then in modern Israel you have liberal Jews and ultraorthodox Jews, who are both equally supportive of the genocide of Palestinians for Lebensraum (though liberal Jews are more likely to prioritize getting the hostages back). MAGA is also built on nationalism, race ideology and a notion of a "great America", with religion only taking an auxiliary role. Again, fascism and Zionism were invented in and keep being practiced by the least religious region in the world; don't make this the fault of religion because it's quite obviously not. Religion isn't the cause of everything you don't like. Y'all invented this shit so own it.

Are these people even self-aware? OMG.

[–] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

Yes, entirely. That's why they say it's a good plan but not practical. Israel is a genocidal ethnostate; it's citizens are nazis.

I guess you missed the riots in tel Aviv over Israel's right to rape palestinians in captivity. Not against it, but against the government investigating and charging the prison guards with the rape and sexual assault of dozens of Palestinians who were imprisoned. It is unironically the most depraved country on earth and we pay their fucking rent.

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

The only bad genocide is our genocide.
