A new survey showing that 82 percent of Jewish Israelis support the expulsion of Gazans was met with disbelief among those who stubbornly believe that the extremists are outliers. But these trends are as consistent as they are shocking.

In 2014, when Jewish Israelis kidnapped and immolated Mohammed Abu Khdeir, a Palestinian teenager from East Jerusalem, many Israelis were shocked and ashamed. The next year, Jewish Israelis torched a home in the Palestinian village of Duma, burning a father, mother and baby to death in their sleep; a surviving child was horribly burned. By then, few were surprised.

I hope it is a flawed poll along the lines of Yes Minister. We should all hope so.

The survey author publishes in the Journal of Genocidal Studies. Hardly impartial so fingers crossed that he asked leaving questions and the results are skewed. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/14623528.2025.2456321
