Israel is about 47% Jewish as of a recent poll, and that is about 41% of the global Jewish population. I have seen polling saying that roughly 50% of Israel supports the genocide.

So here we have roughly 20% (plus everyone outside of Israel who supports this insanity) of a major world religion who are gleefully in support of genocide. I would imagine the percentage who support the settlements expansions and all the violence around that is much higher.

My hatred of religion has swelled recently. It truly makes me believe you are a defective human being and that none of your other thoughts have any merit. I'm wholly uninterested in hearing swill from the mouths of people so hypocritical to their very core.

Edit: my brain did a stupid and my math was bad. Turns out it's a little worse than I had said. Thank you

Israel is about 47% Jewish as of a recent poll, and that is about 41% of the global Jewish population.

So roughly 19% ...

Explain the math please. I understand that 47% times 41% is roughly 19% - but why did you multiply these numbers?

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That should be roughly the percent of Jews worldwide who support it. I don't have data outside of Israel so that number will be higher than 19% but it's a vague lower limit.

Unless my math brain is failing me.

But your first paragraph presents no data about the support for Israel's actions. The two numbers you wrote there are:

  • The percentage of Jewish people in Israel (which, BTW - seems awfully low - so maybe you've mislabeled the number?)
  • The percentage of Israeli among the global Jewish population.
