(2,183 posts)39. How I wish that were true about Israel!!
Poll after poll shows they don't. Likud never wanted it and worked to sabotage it at every turn for decades.
Only 3% of Jewish Israelis think that Trump's ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza is immoral. I feel for that 3%, it must be hell for them to know their fellows have so little conscience or moral backbone.
More than 8 out of 10 Jewish Israelis think the ethnic cleansing plan is either practical or desirable.

Shifting Views on Population Transfer Overall, the idea of significantly relocating Gaza’s Palestinian population—once considered illegitimate by many Israelis—now enjoys broad support among Jewish Israelis. When there is opposition, it is typically based on practicality (“a distraction”) rather than principle.
Surveys conducted in the 1990s and mid-2000s on the transfer of Palestinians from the West Bank generally found support levels of 40–50% among Jewish Israelis.

How do you reconcile that - morally, legally, democratically? How do you make a two-state or even negotiate with people who want you GONE and forgotten?

I don't believe he was advocating for ethnic cleansing, though it may have come across that way.

What a shame. He could have left a legacy. Now he's just another stooge.
