Poll: 90% of Israelis Reject Strategic Consideration of Harm to Diaspora

In response to a critical question about the impact of fearing harm to Jews abroad on Israel’s war plans, an astounding 90% of respondents have firmly rejected the idea. A survey conducted by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI), and published on Friday, further revealed that this unanimous sentiment transcends political affiliations and levels of religiosity, with 92% of supporters of the National Unity Party and 87% of Religious Zionist Party voters adamantly asserting that such fear should not influence Israel’s strategic decisions.

“What we’re witnessing here is an extraordinary level of determination among the Israeli populace,” commented Dr. Shuki Friedman, Vice President of JPPI. “The resounding rejection of external pressures underscores our nation’s unwavering commitment to prioritize national security above all else. This is a testament to the resilience and unity of the Israeli people in times of adversity.”

Prof. Yedidia Stern, President of JPPI, added, “This survey demonstrates that Israelis are resolute in their belief that our security objectives must remain the top priority. It’s a clear message that our citizens are united in their determination to safeguard our nation, both at home and abroad.”

[Good. This is about the survival of Israel as a Jewish homeland, and literally their own personal survival. It’s not that they don’t care about the Diaspora, but right now that’s rather low on the priority list, understandably. They’re trying to secure Israel *for* the Diaspora, for that matter. This shows how determined the Israelis are to see this fight all the way to the finish, and Hamas can thank itself for making the existential nature of this conflict as clear as it could possibly be. — Ed]
