Analysis of Israeli Society and Genocide Support
I think the Israeli society, it's a lunatic society.
Netanyahu made the point in his UN speech.
He says, "Everybody blames me for not wanting a
Palestinian state.
There are a hundred twenty members of the Knesset.
Do you know how many support the Palestinian state?" He said, correctly,
"Nine. Over ninety percent agree with me.
The problem is not me. This is what we all
agree on." Israeli society, a poll taken probably about
four or five months ago now, showed that forty-seven percent of
Israeli Jews support a genocide in Gaza.
Wasn't an ambiguous question. You say, "Well, genocide, you know, can
mean many things." No. They were asked a very simple question:
"When the
IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces, when they enter a city, should they
kill everybody in the city?" That was literally the question that
was posed to
them. "Should you kill everybody in the city?"
Forty-seven percent said yes.
A few weeks later, there was a question, "Are there any innocents in Gaza?"
Sixty-two percent said no. If you factor out
the twenty percent of Israelis who are not Jewish, it's a seventy
percent say there are no innocents in Gaza-
Wow
... from age zero on up. Even if you read
that latest UN report, quite a lot of space in the report is
given over to the Israeli targeting of children.
They target children in the head and in the
chest, the skull and in the chest. The report says they
target... I'm using the words, "They target toddlers." They target
toddlers. So you have this sick look on your face as
any normal human being.
You know, you read stuff like that, very hard for me to wrap my mind around
that.
Not because I'm Jewish, because I'm human.
You might say, "Okay, you know, probably exaggeration, and
what are your sources?" You know, all that sort of stuff.
But just a few months ago, a leader of the opposition in Israel,
Jewish
opposition, he said, "Our soldiers kill children as a
hobby." As a hobby. You get it? It's not a state
project. The genocide is a national
project.
