Thank you for the citation. 4% is still incredibly low. After 9/11, more than 40% of Americans were against invading iraq. I am really surprised, but I could believe it. I didn’t realize how polarised it was.
BTW your usage of [sic] here is astonishing. The asterisk alone would have sufficed. [sic] is for contexts where the reader might reasonably assume you made a transcription error when quoting them, not for errors in general.
as the other person said, there’s threats to those who protest, but also decades of propaganda in schools dehumanizing Palestinians brainwash people from childhood to think this is normal and just.
They’re a very militarized society and have been surrounded by hostile governments and at war with “terrorists” basically since the state was founded. It’s definitely not america mentality wise.
But additionally in recent years the propaganda has been exaggerated as a way to hold on to power, a favorite technique of the current government. I’ve been reading a book called “the netanyahu years” (it’s on libgen) and it goes into some detail on his personal background and how he perfected these techniques.
