We need to have some fun around here. I like how she validates the use of “being Israeli” as an activity (being completely unbearable) rather than just an identity.

    I was curious what the actual numbers were, and the numbers are… not very well researched. Unsurprisingly feels like Israel basically makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment and deportation to be openly anti-Zionist.

    Best I could find was a survey suggesting 9% of Israelis defined themselves as ‘Anti-zionist’ (CW: Israeli attitude shittery within). Obviously how many of them are “actually” anti-zionist and not just critical of the government is hard to know. But to be fair, even if it was just 1-10% of that 9%, that would be ~8,000-80,000. Not a miniscule amount in absolute terms, but still a super tiny minority.

    Interestingly, there also some vaguely better-than-expected (but still awful) statistics on support for shared living, hospital and bathing spaces.
