yes or no
Even last year there were warnings this may happen, basketcase.
I've been saying Israel needs to deescalate and you keep arguing to kill more Palestinians.
Now Israel, who has elected an even more right wing and racist government is even further from peace.
There have been no peace talks for a year.
40 Palestinians have been killed already this year.
You and Israel are against BDS, going to the ICC, or paying attention to human rights reports and UN resolutions.
I expect you'll use this poll to claim all Palestinians are terrorists so deserve to die or something.
What you should do is see this as the result of the policies you keep pushing.
More violence.
End apartheid, end the occupation.
Support BDS.
That's the only way to stop the violence.

Fears of a third Intifada as Palestinian deaths reach 7-year high | CNN
More than 97 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces so far this year in the West Bank, making it the deadliest year in the West Bank for Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers since 2015.

How is saying 'Free Palestine' attacking "Jews for being Jews", basketcase?
That sounds like your antisemitism again, pushing antisemitic tropes.
You are really pathological in the way you support targeting a vehicle out trying to teach about Judaism as a tool to condemn Israel's existence. Do you not realize how stupid and racist your post makes you look?
But yes, there have been warning of an increase in terrorism and violence from numerous Palestinian militant groups such as the fact that half of Palestinian have been convinced to support attacks on Jewish civilians inside Israel.
That's an antisemitic trope, basketcase.
Saying 'free Palestine' is about ending an internationally recognized, illegal occupation.
What kind of person says its antisemitic to protest about war crimes?
Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory illegal: UN rights commission
Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful under international law due to its permanence and the Israeli government’s de facto annexation policies, a UN-appointed Commission of Inquiry said in its first report, published on Thursday.
New York anti-jewish terror activist pleads guilty to hate crimes for 3 attacks on Jews
NEW YORK — A pro-Palestinian activist on Tuesday pleaded guilty to federal hate crimes charges for a series of attacks on Jews in New York City in 2021 and 2022.
Saadah Masoud, 29, pleaded guilty to one count of participating in a conspiracy to commit hate crime acts. The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
“Masoud deliberately targeted three victims because of their religion and nation of origin,” said US Attorney Damian Williams. “There is no place in this country for this offensive and hateful conduct.”
As part of his guilty plea, Masoud admitted to attacking three people due to their Jewish or Israeli identity. He will be sentenced in March.
Federal hate crime charges are relatively rare, and most suspected hate incidents in New York do not result in a conviction.
In May 2021, during mass protests in New York over Israel’s war with Gaza terrorists, Masoud assaulted a victim who was wearing a Star of David necklace in Manhattan, prosecutors said Tuesday while announcing the charges.
The following month in Brooklyn, he and a co-conspirator assaulted a victim wearing identifiably Jewish clothing outside the victim’s home.
And in April 2022, Masoud attacked a man, Matt Greenman, who had been wearing an Israeli flag on the sidelines of a pro-Palestinian protest in Midtown Manhattan. Greenman had gone as a counter-protester.
Masoud repeatedly punched the victim, who was holding crutches, and dragged him across the sidewalk, causing injuries including a concussion.
Greenman said Masoud followed him away from the gathering, before attacking him and saying, “This is what happens when you’re a terrorist.” Greenman is Jewish and previously lived in Israel.
Video filmed by the protesters showed Masoud following Greenman down a street and shouting at him, along with another protester, who called him “Jew” in Arabic and said he had a “dirty fucking flag.”
Investigators said that in security camera footage, they saw the assailant approach Greenman and throw him to the ground, also knocking down a nearby woman. Masoud then struck Greenman in the head and face for close to 20 seconds, dragging him face-first across the sidewalk and shoving away bystanders who tried to intervene, investigators said.
Masoud ripped away the man’s Israeli flag. The protesters’ video showed him returning to the front of the demonstration with the flag, where it was stomped on and set on fire. The footage appeared to show Masoud as a leader of the event.
Activists against antisemitism and bystanders pieced together who the attacker was shortly afterward, using witness testimony and online sleuthing, and sent Greenman the attacker’s name and photo, which he provided to police.
Masoud threatened the activists online in a series of messages, including, “I feel bad for you zionist people when judgment day comes and we slaughter all of them like sheep.”
The Times of Israel spoke with Masoud at the protest before the assault. Immediately after, a bystander who filmed the attack shared the footage and confirmed Masoud’s identity.

So you are okay with vandalizing Jewish targets over criticism of Israel? Welcome to the definition of anti-semitism. It's as racist a vandalizing a shawarma shop about ISIS.
Your defence of anti-semitism is disgusting.That's an antisemitic trope, basketcase.
Saying 'free Palestine' is about ending an internationally recognized, illegal occupation.
What kind of person says its antisemitic to protest about war crimes?
Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory illegal: UN rights commission
Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful under international law due to its permanence and the Israeli government’s de facto annexation policies, a UN-appointed Commission of Inquiry said in its first report, published on Thursday.news.un.org
And I see you are still to racist to admit that 50% of Palestinians polled support what you define as terrorism.
It was pro-Palestinian. The simple word Palestine. Equating a pro-Palestinian message with ISIS is an example of your own anti-Palestinian racism. The graffiti was directed to all those who practice anti-Palestinian racism, so it was just as much directed at you.
Fortunately, the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association is helping to define the many ways ant-Palestinian racism is practiced, including your tactics.
Yes, and the racist who did it chose their target because it belonged to a Jewish group. That's why it's racist. Thanks for playing.
p.s. My tactics? I know you think anyone who doesn't demonize Israel is anti-Arab but that's something you and your shrink should work on.
There’s nothing racist about the word “Palestine “ no matter where it is printed. But the power of the word clearly terrifies you.
I'm sure you'll also be all over Israeli Jews who see a big fight against other civilian Israeli Jews coming up in support of the extremist government you keep defending.
I assume that means you will now also be saying that most Jews in Israel are also terrorists.
Israel: large majority believe violence between Jewish citizens is 'certain'
Openly endorsing the targeting of Jews because of what other Jews do.
Do you think it's okay to vandalize a Persian restaurant about women's rights? Okay to vandalize a Muslim owned restaurant saying "stop ISIS"?
Considering you keep saying it's anti-Muslim to admit that some Palestinians are terrorists or admit that the Koran has some verses condemning Jews, it's patenty a double standard for you to justify going after people simply because of their religion.
Amazing that you scream and yell that it's unfair to label someone an anti-semite simply because they hit many of the points of Canada's definition of anti-semitism while trying to pretend I'm racist though I don't do any of those listed things.
I get it though. You view yourself as a good person but are triggered when confronted with your own racism. Your problem is that instead of examining your own belief system, you just respond by claiming everyone else are the 'real' racists.
Another pathetic deflection.
Yes, many Jews are worried about the growing divide between secular and liberal Israelis and the hard right, just as some in the US and even Canada fear. Hopefully the Israeli left will use this as a uniting need instead of the infighting they have been doing for decades.
That doesn't change the fact that 50% of Palestinians support what you define as terrorism and you are incapable of commenting on it.
What is antisemitism?
With the IHRA working definition of antisemitism, the IHRA built international consensus around an answer to the question, what does antisemitism mean?
