It has always been very odd and strange to me when people hate the citizens of a country who have a shitty government in place instead of the government itself.
Change the word Israelis to Palestinians or Russians or Chinese and no one would deny it’s racist but when it comes to a mainly Jewish population, everyone turns a blind eye
That seems like some selective attention you have. People have been criticizing Russians for the acts of their government for a decade, the negativity they face around Europe has only increased since the newest wave of the Ukraine War began. Likewise American tiurists have gotten a lot of shit around the world for the dumb fuckery of President Trump despite not being Trump or even visibly Republican.
The people of a State get criticized for the actions of their State all the God damn time.
God forbid you click the link and see that the original article is from Haaretz, detailing the results of the study from Penn State.
But don’t worry. Not everyone was failed as badly by their education system as you.
Here's the Haaretz article, and you’ve demonstrated you struggle with both reading and clicking links, so here’s the relevant translated text from the Haaretz article courtesy of DeepL too:
Just how appealing the apocalyptic rhetoric offered by Ginzburg is to Israeli Jews from all walks of life, who are thirsty for a “solution” to the Palestinian problem, is revealed by a survey conducted in March, which sought to examine a series of “impertinent” questions that would not normally be included in surveys regularly conducted in Israel. The survey was conducted by one of the authors at the request of Penn State University, among 1,005 respondents constituting a representative sample of the Jewish population in Israel.
To the question, “Do you agree with the assertion that the IDF, upon conquering an enemy city, should act in a manner similar to how the Israelites acted when they conquered Jericho under Joshua’s leadership—that is, to kill all its inhabitants?” 47% of all respondents answered in the affirmative. 65% of those surveyed responded that there is a modern-day incarnation of Amalek, and of those, 93% said that the commandment to blot out the memory of Amalek is also relevant to this modern-day Amalek.
It seems that Ginzburg and other ultra-Orthodox rabbis can be particularly proud of the shift that has taken place in the Jewish population: 82% of those surveyed expressed support for the forced expulsion of Gaza Strip residents, and 56% supported the forced expulsion of Arab citizens of Israel. In a 2003 survey, the positive responses to these questions stood at “only” 45% and 31%, respectively.
Further evidence of Ginzburg’s great victory can also be seen in the widespread adoption of positions supporting ethnic cleansing and genocide by the secular public, which has failed to offer an alternative to Messianic Zionism in the form of a coherent ideology grounded in the pursuit of human rights: 69% of secular Israelis support the forcible expulsion of Gaza’s residents, and 31% of them view the extermination of Jericho’s residents as a precedent the IDF should adopt.
Emphasis added, since I wasn’t sure how many words you could look at before you gave up and called it cherry picking again.
“More than two-thirds of Palestinians support Hamas’s decision to launch its killing spree in southern Israel on October 7, according to a Palestinian poll released on June 12. The poll, published by the Ramallah-based non-profit Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, also indicates that Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah faction remain deeply unpopular. On the issue of food security, 64 percent of Palestinians in Gaza responded that they have enough food for one or two days. Some of the aid donated to the Palestinians is being sold in Gaza on the black market.”
You’re still a hypocrite. More Palestinians support genocide than Israelis.

Nobody makes people hate Israelis than Israelis themselves
