I tried, but failed, to find the poll Loewenstein referred to when he was quoted saying: “There was a poll just this week that found 70-80 percent of Israeli Jews support...", regarding what the title claims. Please share if you have it, I find it hard to believe this poll exists.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is the only thing I could find
The Direct Polls survey that was published last Thursday (Direct Polls: Gantz and Bibi Neck-and-Neck, Smotrich Beats the Threshold) included the question: “To what degree do you support encouraging the voluntary emigration of Gaza Strip residents?”
The response of 1,487 adults (18+) who are a representative sample of the general population in Israel, with a statistical sampling error of ± 3.9%, at a 95% probability, was overwhelmingly in favor of the idea.
68% support it strongly
15% are quite supportive
8% don’t really support it
9% don’t support it at all
Thanks! Seems close enough. I would still take anything coming out of Channel 14 with a grain of salt. It is considered to be Bibi's propoganda channel 🤷
Did you realize that "support" appears in each response ?
Are you aware of the meaning of the word "not"?
The other part that makes no sense:
"finding somewhere else for Palestinians in Gaza to be removed. Israel claims that this is somehow voluntary, which is nonsense."
Where should they be removed? How do you expect them to get there when the borders for Gaza are closed?
Feels like we've seen this movie before...

https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/bataan-death-march
Where should they be removed?
That's a tough problem. Maybe concentrate them in camps until they've found a final solution.
Describing Gaza and the West Bank as reservations really helps Americans understand what Israel is doing.
Seems like Al Jazeera should have cited it since they published the story but I cannot find it either.
In other news, majority of Palestinians support the removal of Israeli settlers from the West Bank.
Maybe they could work out a swap?
But first, Hamas must be destroyed, and Hamas's supporter Netanyahu prosecuted.
Wtf are you talking about, there is no swap to be made. Both Gaza and the entirety of the West Bank belong to Palestinians. There is plenty of land in Israel proper. The settlers should just GTFO.
Settlers Aka occupiers.
Amazing no one stop to ask where these "settlers" come from?
Europe, and since they're so intent on genociding the native population like the other europeans who colonised the U.S, Canada, Australia and New Zealand did, it is time they go back home (Deutschland especially)
Remember there's always a place for Jews in Europe and the rest of the developed world, not so much for palestinians and other brown ppl.
Are you claiming that the last few decades we have seen the kind of Anti-semitism of the beginning of the 20th century that would justify a program of mass settlement of Jewish people on land outside Israel? Because that is a ridiculous thing to say.
There is no mass scale anti-semitism. Israel is not the safest place for Jews (north america is). Palestinian land is not needed for Jewish settlement, Israel proper has plenty plenty of land, enough to be proposing land swaps every now and then.
Israeli settlements are entirely indefensible and entirely a crime.
Hamas is an ideology. Even Israel recently stated this and said you can't stop an ideology. This dovetails perfectly into the sentiment of this article. Both together, plus idf actions show genocide is really what they want.
We can't stop an ideology, but we can destroy governments based on an obnoxious ideology. And that is progress, obviously. Japanese Militarism, Soviet Communism, Nazi Fascism, Italian Fascism, Spanish Fascism... all still around as fringe ideologies, but I'm sure most of us are happy that governments that held these ideologies fell. Israel obviously is trying to destroy the current Hamas government in Gaza, not kill all of the residents.
When the ratio of civilian death to hamas death is far greater, you need to realise something is fundamentally wrong with the actions of the idf.
Additionally, reports of Jewish attacks on Palestinians are up too, which was high even prior to the war.
All that will happen is more people will join the cause to fight against the occupation of Palestine.
You all want to see an end to attacks you saw prior to the war, but you need to realise all that will happen is more hostility due to the wanton destruction of their home.
The leaders the idf seek are in Qatar, but they already knew this, which is why for weeks, the world was told this is a war against hamas the ideology they now state can't be destroyed!
Seems like to me that here we have the same thing that USA did with the wmd excuse.
Yeah, because they are genocidal lunatics.
"Removal", how exactly? Because doing it with bombs isn't very efficient so far. Are they looking into a final solution already? Fucking embarrassing...
Well, you know how Nazi Germany dealt with their 'Jewish Problem'?
Israel is currently dealing with their 'Palestinian Problem'.
Zionists are Nazis.
You bomb the infrastructure until the whole area is unlivable, then you graciously allow them to cross the border into Egypt. Textbook ethnic cleansing.
The majority are brainwashed like in every country that is doing bad shit America included. The woke are few and far between. Most are eat the status quo and keep on trucking types. They will eat shit til they die and not care.
Genocide
ha, is this a 'no shit' article or what. your 'country' is currently steamrolling over the entire area, razing it to the ground.
ya think??
Wonder if any of these Israelis will feel shame in 20 years after all this negative energy dies down.
This war should end with a Palestinian corridor the ensure connection between west Bank and Gaza
Big ups to Israel for proving all the antisemites correct. Way to go, dumbasses.
Sorry, but I just don’t trust polls anymore. They never really get a representation of the public as a whole and instead end up talking with the only interested parties: bored conservative old people.
That's probably true, but that's also the large majority of voters often so it can still represent something.
