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.

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, because it stops being safe to stay in their home countries as Jews. Zionists want to turn millions against Jewish people worldwide so they have to become Israelis. They don't see any danger, it only benefits them.
