82% of the Jewish public supports Israel’s attack on Iran and the timing of the attack. 65% of the Arab public opposes both the attack and the chosen timing. Some two-thirds of the Jewish public believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu’s motives for launching an attack at this time were mainly objective and security-related. Two-thirds of the Arab public think that his motives were mainly subjective and political.
“Israeli” society is on an exceptional level of bloodthirsty, racist, genocidal frenzy. It’s not quite as bad in the US yet (maybe because they don’t yet feel the same kind of existential threat to their settler project) but yes, similar dynamics exist in every settler state and colonial power.
I think this is an effect of demographic differences. “Israel” is 73.2% Jewish, whereas the US is 56.3% non-Hispanic white. By contrast, In 1940, they comprised approximately 89.8% of the total population. That’s why the bloodthirsty, racist, genocidal faction within the US is panicking about immigration and birth rates - the material base for their project is weakening.
You make a good point. Demographic diversity plays a role for sure. Oppressed minorities are less likely (though they still often do) to identify with the settler project.
