    There’s actually more if you click on “findings” or “sample report” at the bottom of the page, but you get the idea now. The former gets you to the actual survey results.

    Before I continue I’ll make it clear: I’m not trying to advocate for “push them into the sea” rhetoric or saying that peace is impossible, and I certainly don’t think atrocities committed on either side are justified. That said, we need to understand the situation without any illusions or overoptimism before we can start discussing solutions.

    it’s pretty fucking bleak which makes it even more important to avoid confirming the persecution bias on both sides

    True to a degree, but it also shows that “the majority of Israelis support genocide in Palestine” is a proven fact. From these results  we know that, for example, ideas along the lines of “this is completely or mostly Netanyahu’s fault and can’t be used to judge the Israeli public” are wrong, because unfortunately Netanyahu’s actions in the war are representing Israeli popular will. This means we’ll never get a real solution to this conflict, at least in the next few decades, by leaving Israel to its own devices. More heavy handed measures, a la South Africa, are necessary.
