Israeli Jews are overwhelmingly liberal. Yet they sanction an operation other lefties around the world call barbaric. Let me hazard a guess: For westerners sitting comfortably and safely in their abodes, it’s hard to imagine what living under a barrage of “harmless” rockets is like. Perhaps we too would want the state to step in and perform its one legitimate function: stop rockets from landing on our heads.
On the other hand, I could be wrong and Jews simply seek to colonize Gaza, and then conquer the world.
Reports the Jerusalem Post:
“The Israeli military operation against Hamas in Gaza enjoys the overwhelming support of Israeli Jews despite the loss of civilian life in the Hamas-run territory, a survey released Wednesday showed.
A whopping 94% of the public support or strongly support the operation while 92% think it benefits Israel’s security, according to the Tel Aviv University survey.
The poll found that 92% of Israeli Jews justify the air force’s attacks in Gaza despite the suffering of the civilian population in the Strip and the damage they cause to infrastructure.”
