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

The Israeli media has been full of overt calls for and endorsements of just outright genocide for over a year now.

At one point a prime time media show was 'debating' just fucking nuking Gaza.

Israeli social media has also been absolutely full of average people with genocidal rhetoric for over a year.

... They just say it in Hebrew, not English... most of the time.

This isn't suprising to anyone who can use google translate, or read supplied English subtitles/captions.

Reading about this stuff on the Israeli lead news network KAN is... Interesting. When the complete eradication of Gazans is being talked about it's very blasé and never takes responsibility. For example, this report says Hamas are in fact the ones screwing up Gaza aid efforts, and this one richly claims that the IDF did not kill anyone at an aid site. The IDF alleges that they investigated themselves and found that they weren't guilty.

I think it's potentially true that Hamas fucks with aid and blames it on the IDF for public support. I don't know if they do, but it'd be smart. Israel is absolutely fucking with aid, guaranteed. They're murdering civilians, and damn near no one seems to give a shit. It's sad how few people seem to pay attention or care about the obvious signs of genocide. Not just the Palestinian genocide, the Rwandan, Bosnian, Cambodian genocides as well.

They're not worthy victims.
Wait till Greta gets blown to pieces, then there'll be national mourning all over the place... then it's back to normal after a few days.

I think it’s potentially true that Hamas fucks with aid and blames it on the IDF

To what possible end? How does anyone in the Palestinian government benefit from their genocide?

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 day ago

The same possible end of israelis killing their prime minister or the current prime undermining peace efforts - power. Hamas are a bunch of lunatics, like Mileikowsky an his ilk.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't really think they do that, but I'd personally find it smart. Limit the amount of aid sent so that people are suffering and desperate. Offer a solution, win public opinion. Again, I don't really think they do that. I think that Israel's doing all of that.

Offer a solution, win public opinion.

You can't do that kind of politics in the middle of a genocide.
