I’ve heard different answers to this question. Conducting a poll is obviously a hard task to pull of in an authoritarian country, considering the censorship by the state.
A quick search got me to this poll: Article, Archive

So the answer would be that only 15% of the population are pro-theocracy.

In response to the question "Islamic Republic: Yes or No?” 81% of respondents inside the country responded “No” to the Islamic Republic, 15% responded “Yes,” and 4% were not sure.

the tentacles of the persian state…

As a supporter of the Iranian opposition, I’d like to correct you about this description. The Islamic Republic have nothing to do with Persian ethnicity or Iranian nationality. Only 50%-60% of Iranians are Persian, it’s a very ethnically and culturally diverse nation. The Islamic Republic is a theocracy that oppresses the people of Iran. They destroy secularism and minority cultures in favor of Shia-style Islamization.

Police Be Upon Him

Narrated by Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that `Aisha remained with the Prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death).

It’s clear to me, based on what you’ve said, that you know very little about Israelis (Arabs and Jews), Jewish culture and history in the land of Israel (yes, before 1947, before 1918), Israeli politics (foreign and internal) and Middle East geopolitics.

How come you write with such confidence about something you barley know anythings about?

Israel gets dropped into existing post-WWII

5 Facts About the Jewish People’s Ancestral Connection to the Land of Israel

Things are heavily medicated up until the 80’s…

A typo? I don’t know what you were trying to say. Anyway, from '47 until '73 Israel fought several existential wars against conventional armies (and many terrorists of various groups, never stopped, always been happening). Maybe that was your point.

Palestine fights back

AKA Hamas’ massacres on October 7th / Hamas & PIJ suicide bombings against Israeli civilians / constant shooting attacks by Palestinians terrorists against Israeli civilians / Palestinians terrorists firing rockets targeting Israeli civilians.
Their goal was always the destruction of the Jewish state (see also: Amin al-Husseini, Fawzi al-Qawuqji).

You may stop propagating the false narrative of Israelis stealing Palestinian land just for the sake of being evil.
Sure, some privately owned farmland of some Arabs in Judea and Samaria was claimed by Israelis (mostly private citizens with no government permission). After going through the Israeli legal system, the court either orders for demolition of the illegal houses or (if the trial took too long, and people already moved in) it orders for monetary compensation for the rightful Arab owners of the land.
Ultimately, most of the land was not privately owned, it was barren land, all groups (Christians, Jews, Muslims, Druze) had enough room to expand their communities and build new ones.

You’re right about the Islamic Republic of Iran spreading chaos in the Middle East by arming and financing Jihadist proxies, primarily with the goal of the destruction of Israel (and the west is next).

You talk about Jewish extremism on Israel’s behalf, which somewhat exists, but you fail to acknowledge how prevalent Jihad is as an idea and practice. Islamism is antisemitic to its core.

They express it publicly all time:

Fathi Hammad (Hamas):

The first is the cleansing of Palestine of the filth of the Jews.

Hamas: Goal of world domination under an Islamic Caliphate:

(The Palestinian people) are preparing to establish the Caliphate.

Houthis’ slogan:

God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam.

I refuse to accept your appeasement attitude. Israel sends its troops (Jews, Arabs, Druze) to the battlefield to fight a just war. Human life is put at risk to achieve the goals of the war.
Just as the allies fought Nazi Germany and lost millions of troops and civilians.

If there’s a hostage deal, it should serve the interests of Israel, not the interests of the terrorists of Hamas, PIJ, Fatah, PFLP etc.
A deal which servers the interests of Hamas-ISIS means surrender. A permanent ceasefire where Hamas stays in power means surrender. Not getting all the live Israeli hostages means surrender. Israel withdrawing from strategic areas means surrender.

The war in Gaza could end tomorrow if Hamas surrenders, disarms and returns all the hostages.

• Hamas must surrender.
• The Palestinian terrorists should be disarmed.
• All Israeli (Jews and Arabs) hostages in Gaza should be released immediately and unconditionally.

That’s what I’m saying. I don’t agree with your interpretation of my position, I never said that.

I did read the elements that were publicly published, yes.

• Release of hundreds of murderers out of prison without getting all the live hostages.
• The war ends (without Hamas losing power).

etc.

It doesn’t matter who organized the discussions, Hamas has no right to exist and it must be defeated.

The war in Gaza could end tomorrow if Hamas surrenders, disarms and returns all the hostages.

Would you tell the leader of your country to surrender to the terms of a Jihadist terror organizations and relasese hunderds of murderers?

What whould you prefer: USA, UK, USSR defeat Nazi Germany or surrender to their terms?

You mean Hamas.

Fathi Hammad: The first is the cleansing of Palestine of the filth of the Jews.

Excuse me, can you even read? Please cite a direct quote from the ICJ ruling that clearly states that Israel is committing a genocide. Can you do it? Of course not, because they never did.

You are still avoiding addressing this point.

You haven’t established any knowledge about any of those issues.

It’s clear to me, based on what you’ve said, that you know nothing about Israelis (Arab and Jews), Jewish culture and history, Israeli politics (foreign and internal) and Middle East geopolitics.

They did not wish for sovereignty over themselves within a nation-state framework in the Middle East.

That’s true for most of Jewish history, but the author from Haaretz (Sand) is not explaining it in this article. I’m surprised he doesn’t mention Jerusalem even once in his opinion piece. The city of Jerusalem is mentioned in so many Jewish prayers and practices, only maybe surpassed by the story of the exodus from Egypt.
The original article (from ajc.org) does provide the main (religious) reason for the fact that only small groups of Jews immigrated to the land of Israel before the 19th century.

Traditional Jewish religious thought stated that the Jews had been exiled from their homeland as a punishment from God. They could only return in Messianic times. This belief kept most Jews from thinking about a return to living in Israel.

Also, when you’re a persecuted and an oppressed minority for 2000 years, it’s very difficult for you to believe that you could take your fate into your own hands. Think about the profound ideological persuasion you need to have in order to think you can fight against the British empire or the Ottoman empire, and establish a safe homeland for your people.
Only after the horrors of the holocaust and the establishment of the state of Israel, there were mass immigration of Jews to the land.

Anti-Zionists on Lemmy hate facts.

This is also relevant to you. You haven’t established any knowledge about any of those issues.

It’s clear to me, based on what you’ve said, that you know nothing about Israelis (Arab and Jews), Jewish culture and history, Israeli politics (foreign and internal) and Middle East geopolitics.

You are spewing out nonsense based on a false narrative. If you want to establish common ground based on actual facts, you are more than welcome.

It’s pretty obvious what Israels goal is and has been for the last decades. Steal land, just look at the west bank or even a map.

Why would anyone pay me? I’m just a random guy on the internet.

Do you get paid per argument?

All the things I’ve mentioned are relevant. Many people are talking out of their asses without knowing anything about this conflict. They don’t make the minimum effort to learn the basic things, they just follow the mob and reuse their words without understanding any of it. Some Israelis do it, some westerners do it, some arabs do it.
And all of these useful idiots are being manipulated by Islamists, radical left people, white supremacists.

You mentioned a lot of unrelated stuff lol

You didn’t address this point.

If Israel is committing genocide (which is not), it’s the worst implementation of such policy. They could kill hundreds of thousands of people in a few days, and that never happened.

This is also relevant to you. You haven’t established any knowledge about any of those issues.

It’s clear to me, based on what you’ve said, that you know nothing about Israelis (Arab and Jews), Jewish culture and history, Israeli politics (foreign and internal) and Middle East geopolitics.

It is correct that 2 wrongs doesn’t make a right. And you still haven’t demonstrated that there are massacres or a genocide in Gaza committed by the IDF.

the attack on Oct 7 does not give anyone the right to commit their own massacre or genocide.
