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.

    75%+ of Gazans approved of the October 7th attack and want to see Israel wiped out.

    I can imagine Israelis would lack sympathy for a people who want to see them dead.

        There is no occupation. Israel is a sovereign nation that won its right to exist in several defensive wars.

          You surely love to embarass yourself. So the UN is lying and human right orgs are lying? Where did you get the dumb idea that land sized in war become the winner land? It doesn’t when the winner take land it becomes occupied land and the occupied had the right to take it back

            Would this be the same UN that puts KNOWN human rights abusers on the human rights council? The same UN that is dead silent on various commonly known abuses of human rights around the world? THAT UN? Are you SURE you want to cite THEM?
