EDIT: There is no source available for this poll, or for any "Dialog Center."

An overwhelming majority of 86% of respondents, including 79% of coalition supporters, said the surprise attack from Gaza is a failure of the country's leadership.

But ... this is because of the failure of Netanyahu to prevent the attacks (among other failures), not because they think the Israeli government is treating Palestinians unjustly.

Yeah, this is the point I keep wondering about. What was the expectation? People only take so much injustice before snapping.

They expected a few bombings now and then, mostly stopped by the good guys from movies.

Netanyahu has been a big fan and supporter of Hamas

“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu told his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy"

I suspect the political peril he's in will encourage him to take more drastic action against Gaza than he otherwise would have to get back popular opinion. Seems like he's going to level the northern half.

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Agreed.

But wouldn't it be cheaper to just herd them all into gas chambers? /s

Well they can’t go full mask off

This seems to mean they blame the government for lack of "security" before the attack, which could mean they just want more apartheid.

And "must resign after the war" is way different than "must resign." Any leader, but especially an authoritarian, would read this and say "Guess I should never end the war, then."

They're just upset that Palestinians weren't opressed enough.

Ask him politely to resign i'm sure he will consider it
