I tried, but failed, to find the poll Loewenstein referred to when he was quoted saying: “There was a poll just this week that found 70-80 percent of Israeli Jews support…", regarding what the title claims. Please share if you have it, I find it hard to believe this poll exists.
The Direct Polls survey that was published last Thursday (Direct Polls: Gantz and Bibi Neck-and-Neck, Smotrich Beats the Threshold) included the question: “To what degree do you support encouraging the voluntary emigration of Gaza Strip residents?”
The response of 1,487 adults (18+) who are a representative sample of the general population in Israel, with a statistical sampling error of ± 3.9%, at a 95% probability, was overwhelmingly in favor of the idea.
Thanks! Seems close enough. I would still take anything coming out of Channel 14 with a grain of salt. It is considered to be Bibi’s propoganda channel 🤷

This is the only thing I could find

68% support it strongly
15% are quite supportive
8% don’t really support it
9% don’t support it at all

Did you realize that “support” appears in each response ?
Are you aware of the meaning of the word “not”?
The other part that makes no sense:
“finding somewhere else for Palestinians in Gaza to be removed. Israel claims that this is somehow voluntary, which is nonsense.”
Where should they be removed? How do you expect them to get there when the borders for Gaza are closed?
Feels like we’ve seen this movie before…

That’s a tough problem. Maybe concentrate them in camps until they’ve found a final solution.
Describing Gaza and the West Bank as reservations really helps Americans understand what Israel is doing.
Seems like Al Jazeera should have cited it since they published the story but I cannot find it either.
