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.

    Sorry bud, the original source doesn’t make Israelis look better.

    Israelis think that because they believe the IDF. You literally just read the first paragraph and are acting like the responsible one doing real research.

      because they believe the IDF.

      Exactly.

      They believe what they’re told. But the headline makes it seem like they’re cheering on starvation in front of their eyes.

        They’ve been on social media cheering it on since 2023. Civilians/reservists have been forming human chains to block humanitarian aid that WAS allowed to go in. This isn’t a shocking new development, it is what has been explicitly stated, expressed, and demonstrated for multiple years now.
