Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- A new poll has revealed alarming support among Israeli Jews for the ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The survey, published Thursday in Haaretz, shows that 82% of Jewish Israelis back the idea of expelling native Palestinians from the strip.

The poll was conducted in March by one of the researchers on behalf of Penn State University. It surveyed 1,005 Jewish respondents across Israel.

Support for forced expulsions has spiked. 82% support expelling all Palestinians from Gaza. Over half—56%—also back expelling Native Palestinians who are citizens of Israel. In 2003, support for these views was lower at 45% and 31%, respectively.

The trend is strongest among younger generations. Among Jewish Israelis under 40, 66% support expelling native Palestinian citizens, and 58% support repeating the Jericho conquest. Only 9% of men under 40—those most likely to serve in the army—rejected all notions of expulsion or genocide.

      More Antisemitism isn’t going to solve this. In fact that’s exactly what Israel wants so more Jews flee to Israel to join the colonist project.

        Maybe saying things like that would wake people the fuck up about the dangers of tying the zionist project to Judaism.

        It is almost inevitable at this point, the rise of antisemitism. And the libs and especially the right have taken on the mantle of appearing as ‘Jewish’ advocates in appearance only, through their vocal support for Israel, forcibly alienating anyone who sees what’s happening. This hurts literally every Jewish person outside of Israel.

          Increasing antisemitism benefits Zionism. They make the world unsafe for Jewish people so they all have to go live in Israel and fight for its existence. Zionists want to turn millions against Jewish people worldwide so they have to become Israelis.

          Zionists are happy to make the world hate Jews again. They don’t see any danger, it only benefits them.

            I get what you’re trying to say, but this accepts the racists logic and argues that they are merely wrong on the facts. The idea that peoples DNA gives them a right to live in a certain area, or even can be tied to specific locations is racist in nature. There are no “semitic people” in a scientific sense, only in a biblical sense. Classifying modern people as “semitic” is only ever done in order to be anti-semitic.

              The premise of the argument is that the land belongs to the people who have lived there for centuries. Not the people who have spontaneously appeared there without any connection or roots to it.

                  You conflate Jews and Zionists and that’s antisemitic. By refering to Zionists as Jews you are doing exactly what the settler colonial entity of Israel wants, a way to legitimize them.

                  You can argue all you want about the semantics of who is or isn’t semitic, but that ignores how historically the word antisemitism have been used to talk specifically about hate for Jews.

                  Also, accusing someone who is correcting you of being pro genocide is disgusting, no one in this comment chain did this.

                  stop believing israel when it says it represents jews. not every jew is a zionist and vice versa. conflating the two is antisemitic

                  be angry at zionists thats more than fine, its just. But not at Jews, thats misplaced and racist.
