The vast majority of Israelis say they are not troubled by reports of famine and suffering in Gaza, a new poll released by the Israel Democracy Institute shows.

The survey shows that 79 percent of Jews in Israel were not troubled, or troubled at all, whereas 86 percent of “Arab” respondents were somewhat or very troubled by the reports about the war on Gaza.

The survey was conducted between 27-31 July.

    Don’t call fascists demons. They’re people. Any people can go fascist when the circumstances are right. This “fascists are demons, not reasonable people like us” attitude breeds complacency and an unwillingness to look directly at what fascism is and how it arises and functions, and that’s part of the reason fascism has come back to bite us hard.

      No, soulless ghouls with a lack of empathy and compassion for others are not people.

            Yup. The other day, I made an angry comment about an environmental issue. Somebody replied with a sarcastic “congrats, you solved it”. Solving it wasn’t what I was trying to do. I was just venting.

            We all need to do that sometimes.
