Approximately seven out of ten Israelis support the idea that “Arabs from Gaza should relocate to another country,” according to a poll conducted by the Jewish People Policy Institute.

According to the poll, 43 percent of all Israelis believe former US President Donald Trump’s proposal to transfer Palestinians in Gaza elsewhere is “practical” and should be pursued. Among Jewish Israelis, this view is held by a narrow majority of 52 percent.

An additional 30 percent of Jewish Israelis described the plan as “not practical, but desirable”.

Meanwhile, Arab Israelis largely oppose the idea. More than half (54 percent) of Arab respondents described the plan as “immoral,” compared to just 3 percent of Jewish Israelis. Overall, 13 percent of all Israelis consider the proposal immoral.

What is interesting here is the percentages. Only 13% of Israelis (including all the Arabs there) consider ethnic cleansing and Genocide immoral.

You make a good point. Unfortunately, I'm beginning to believe a number lower than 70% of my fellow citizens believe it to be immoral, given who is dismantling our country right now.

I'm suspicious that israeli support for crimes against humanity is only being reported as around seventy percent.

And how do the Gazans feel about this hmmm?

Of course they do. Depopulating Gaza to make it available to Israeli settlers was the plan from the word go in that war.
