New Israeli poll shows young Jewish voters most right-wing, fanatically religious, and pro-genocide in Israeli

A poll conducted by Israel’s Channel 12 found that half a million new young Jewish Israeli voters are the most right-wing and religiously fanatic in Israel’s history. They’re voting in the upcoming Knesset elections.

That’s how they educate them.

@jwillia2 So when people say "don't dislike the people of Israel" (the Jews), they weren't talking about these people." Right? Then who?

I've had family friends who are Jewish. It was not a factor in our friendship. I didn't care anything about their religious beliefs, and I don't care about the religious beliefs of anyone else.

But I have to say I have become educated over the past 2.5 years & my opinions have changed about the Jewish religion.

Religion is not going to be anyone's savior

@PattyHanson @jwillia2 How did you go from an article that was about *Israeli* youth who've grown up under a fascist Israeli regime and make that about the *Jewish religion*?

That's antisemitic bullshit and not welcome on a well-moderated venue.

@dalias @PattyHanson @jwillia2 The article IS about young jewish people, the poll its talks about excluded non jewish Palestinians, because Israel, so comenting about jews is not off topic? Dont know, but I find that antisemitic is thrown around with such ease, that its loosing meaning.It shouldn't.
@dacig @PattyHanson @jwillia2 Equating the Israeli state and its beneficiaries with the Jewish people is absolutely antisemitic.

@dalias
Someone should inform the settler colonial apartheid entity. Being the primary purveyor of this conflation one must assume that “israel” by its very nature is antisemitic.

@dacig @PattyHanson @jwillia2

@dacig @[email protected] @jwillia2 If it's antisemitic to oppose a ppl or religion that is pro-genocide, then I guess I'm anti-whatever. I believe I said in my post that I have never opposed any religion, but became more educated about the Jewish religion over the past 2.5 yrs. Do I believe every person who follows the Jewish faith is pro-genocide? No. But when any group fails to rein in its extremists, I consider it to be complicit. I'm not anti Jew, anti Islam or anti Christian. I'm Antifa. Good grief.

@jwillia2

they are brainwashed by the state of israel

@jwillia2

I don't think I will ever forgive Israel

- not their politicians
- not their military
- not their courts
- not their arms dealers
- not their media
- not their manufacturers
- not their merchants
- not their scientists
- not their artists
- not their athletes
- not their diplomats
- not the population that supports a brutal genocide.

Even if my wish for peace and freedom in Palestine is fulfilled,
I believe my capacity to forgive has been permanently damaged

@jwillia2 Not a great sign for the future of the country. Look what happened to Hitler and Mussolini and Idi Amin. Right wing authoritarian countries generally crash in the end.
