A poll conducted by an Israeli organisation has revealed that the vast majority of Israeli Jews believe there are “no innocents” in the Gaza Strip. aChord, a research group linked to Hebrew University specialising in social psychology, said 76 percent of the Jewish public partially or fully agree that “there are no innocents in Gaza”.

The survey found that even among Israeli opposition voters, 47 percent fully supported the claim, while among Jewish opposition voters, a majority also agrees with the claim. Researcher Ron Gerlitz described the results of the survey as “difficult findings” that indicated attitudes that fed into acceptance of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab sentiment in Israel has been growing in recent years, targeting both Palestinians in the occupied territories and Palestinian citizens of Israel. Last week, a Palestinian bus driver in Israel was attacked by a group of Jewish youths shouting “death to Arabs”, the latest incident in a string of racist attacks on Palestinian citizens of Israel. The bus driver, Mohammed Abd al-Hadi, told Ynet the incident happened after he asked the young passengers to stop screaming and vandalising the vehicle. “They insulted me and shouted racist sayings like ‘Jew - good; Arab - son of a removed’ and ‘death to Arabs’,” he said.

    Pragmatically speaking, that’s why denazification efforts should be done at the source of all of Global South’s miseries: in the West, outside the occupation.

    The entity is literally on life support from the West, because the entity IS the West, it is the West’s liberalism at its peak projected on to West Asia (and that’s not an exaggeration, this is why I deliberately use the term “Euroanglo-Zionazi”).

    Take China as an example, reeducation efforts didn’t occur in Syria or Iraq to curb the thousands (IIRC) of Xinjiang opportunist terrorists (and domestic) joining CIA’s ISIS, but rather it was done directly in Xinjiang, with some degree of success. Of course the deindustrialized West won’t follow this example because it absolutely needs Nazism and in general, liberalism, to sustain itself.

    The point is, if liberalism continues to be the modus operandi in the West, settler-colonies and other forms of imperialism won’t stop being a thing. This is why liberation of the Global South from its Western shackles should be the prime focus, comrade.

      I didn’t mean to imply they should be completely reeducated before they’re sent back to Europe, merely that they need to see with their own eyes what their colonialism has done. Right now they get a filtered view of what they are allowed to see, even soldiers are mostly behind screens to operate their tanks and terror drone army. They’re alienated from their crimes.

      It won’t be good enough to just show videos and interviews, they’ll always believe it’s fake. They need a hands-on demonstration.

      China’s task was actually easier than the denazification that Israelis need, and required totally different intervention. Extremists from Iraq and Syria are, honestly, far less damaged than the Zionists.

      I’m being optimistic that we don’t need to kill them all, but the level of reeducation they need is basically unprecedented.
