A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's surprising, but also give it a couple weeks.
Edit: Turns out this includes Palestinian Israelis (Israeli Palestinians? This is hard), which explains things.
We don't know why the people opposed that.
Last time Israelis settled in Gaza they gave it up 20 years ago, as the resistance made it too costly to maintain. By now a significant number of Israelis will know some IDF member who was killed or permanently injured when invading Gaza and the prospect of having hundreds of thousands of young men and women permanently lacking in the economy as they patrol Gaza, is not that enticing for many.
I strongly doubt that humanitarian considerations have played a relevant role for most of the "pure" Israeli respondents. We have seen many polls over the past two years and before, where Palestinians have been completely dehumanized by the Israeli society and the public discourse only has grown more genocidal as the time moved on.
That’s surprising
Why do you think that?
Because Israelis tend to believe the most heinous shit (look up Tel Aviv University Peace Index, shit's fucked up), so I had expected a pretty comfortable majority to support annexing Gaza. But now that I checked the article, this poll includes Palestine Israelis, so with that in mind it's within expectations; if you subtract like 15% from the supporting camp to account for Palestinians you'll probably get a narrow supporting majority.
Tel Aviv University Peace Index
Yes I've read several of their reports a whule bacj. Most Israelis (particularly Jewish ones but also many Arab Israelis) and Gazans are very pessimistic about the prospects for peace, tied to not believing the other side to be trustworthy, particularly since Oct. 7.
believe the most heinous shit
You'll have to elaborate on that, because you're (A) generalizing to a very large group with very diverse views & opinions and (B) rather vague.

Okay. I'll be working off the latest report here, dated July 2025. A 60%+ majority of Jewish Israelis:
In addition, slimmer majorities:
I believe I've made my case already, but also note that these all have 7-15% don't know answers, which is fucked up in its own right but also means that if you only count the people with an opinion on the subject you get even worse numbers.
Looks like liberal Zionists are trying to sanitize the reputation of their genocidal colony.
But it's palestinian the occupied who should disarm according to the west and major arab countries. The irony
Because in Israeli society, the given goal was getting rid of hamas, which is generally supported by pretty much everyone, unless you're a moron. Annexing gaza was not in initial plans, so..this is just logic. Israel is going too far and not even Israelis themselves support what IDF is doing or wants to do, generally of course, as there are always extremists on all fronts
Then again, I'm just brainstorming, trying to connect the dots
The west bank shows that destroying khamas is just some bs israeli use to justify occupation.
after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine - Ben Gurrion
The plan was always taking control of all Palestine surely but slowly, that's why honest Zionists talk about Judea and samaria which was destroyed centuries ago
That's why I said "do we believe them?"
