Vast majority of Israelis believe there are 'no innocents' in Gaza, says poll

A poll by the Israeli research group aChord has revealed that 76 percent of Israeli Jews believe there are 'no innocents' in the Gaza Strip. This sentiment is widespread, with a majority of Jewish opposition voters also agreeing with the claim. A researcher described these findings as the 'toxic soil' that enables the high number of Palestinian civilian casualties in the war. The report also connects this attitude to a rise in anti-Palestinian sentiment and racist attacks within Israel, citing a recent assault on a Palestinian bus driver.
