    Braver than the troops.

    She is brave, period. There is a crackdown and violence towards anyone who dares protest the war crimes in Gaza, or even post against it on social media.

    She is also in a super minority of 2% of Israelis who oppose the genocide.

        Unless people are afraid to speak up, that’s what the polls say.

        Pew Research has it at 4%

        Israeli Arabs[sic]* are much more likely than Jews to say the country’s military response has gone too far (74% vs. 4%).

        https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/30/israeli-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/

        * the term Israeli Arab is rejected by the majority of Palestinians living within the Green Line. The term purposefully erases Palestinian identity.

          Also not all “Israeli Arabs” are Palestinian. There are Arab Jews and there are Palestinian citizens of Israel who do not get treated the same at all.

            All Jews in Israel including those of an Arab background are included under Israeli Jews. Itamar Ben Gvier is an Iraqi Jew and he is the most anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab politician in Israel. Israeli Arabs means one thing only and that’s Palestinians with Israeli citizenship.

              I would dispute that categorisation because that suggests that oppression of the Palestinians is because they are “Arab” rather than because they are the native Palestinian people. It’s a Zionist obfuscation I’ve heard Palestinians oppose because it means non-Palestinian Arabs end up speaking on behalf of Palestinians. The Palestinians I’ve met are quite clear on a distinction between Arab people as a race and Palestinian people as a national identity. Not to mention there are Afro-Palestinians and quite white-looking Palestinians who arguably wouldn’t normally be counted as Arab due to their race.

          Thank you for the citation. 4% is still incredibly low. After 9/11, more than 40% of Americans were against invading iraq. I am really surprised, but I could believe it. I didn’t realize how polarised it was.

          BTW your usage of [sic] here is astonishing. The asterisk alone would have sufficed.

            as the other person said, there’s threats to those who protest, but also decades of propaganda in schools dehumanizing Palestinians brainwash people from childhood to think this is normal and just.

      Apparently according to recent polls, over 70% of the US population wants a cease-fire in gaza. Considering less than a handful of congress-members agreed with them, that makes 99% of the US congress opposing the will of the people. Very democratic country, yes.

        According to one recent poll, the number is 67%, and they didn’t poll for a range of definitions of ceasefire to try to suss out exactly what that means. Like, many people would only accept a ceasefire that would more or less erase Hamas, but there is no sign of that happening. Instead, everything (including somewhat agree) was just lumped together to produce 67%.

      I’ve seen elsewhere (I’ll try to find the source but I’ve got a busy day ahead of me so it may be in a day or two) that like the Oscars, Congress was filling empty seats with people to give the illusion that it was widely supported.

      Israel does not control the US. The reality is the other way around, the US uses Israel to do the dirty work that would be too unpalatable for US voters, despite the theater.

          Not so much interest in the land - no oil or natural gas- more so in pushing the “everything not governed by us is a shithole-watch us bomb it to submission” bootlicker mentality.

          I’m all for anti-terrorism, but the longer a foreign entity is on their land, the more terrorists it ends up creating.

            “us”? Who is bombing?

            I do think the US could handle the situation a little better. We can protect Israel from Iran and company without directly providing them bombs for Gaza while still getting everything the US wants.

            But the primary blame here absolutely lies with Israel. Bibi is making the decisions.
