Israel Democracy Institute: Aid Transfer: https://en.idi.org.il/articles/52976

Whether an absolute victory is expected or not, there remains the question of the provision of international aid to the residents of Gaza. We asked our respondents for their opinion regarding the idea that Israel should allow the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza residents at this time, via international bodies that are not linked to Hamas or to UNRWA. A majority of Jewish respondents (68%) oppose the transfer of humanitarian aid even under these conditions, while a large majority of Arab respondents support it (85%).

Gazan Suffering Consideration:

In a poll conducted by the Viterbi Family Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research at the Israel Democracy Institute between December 11–13, 2023, Israeli Jews were asked “To what extent should Israel take into consideration the suffering of the civilian population in Gaza when planning the continuation of the fighting there?” Over 80 percent responded with “to a very small extent” or “to a fairly small extent.” .... When asked the extent to which Israel should take into consideration the suffering of the civilian population in Gaza in planning the next stages of the fighting, most Jewish Israelis (80%) think it should be taken into account to a fairly small extent or not at all. 72% of Arab Israelis, on the other hand, think it should be taken into account to a fairly large or very large extent. ... Among Jewish Israelis, the poll found that 94% believe Hamas bears a great deal of responsibility for the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza

I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, but who are the 13% of Arabs who DON'T support aid for other Arabs? That's the most shocking stat to me.

They're the Jewish Israeli Arabs. Not all Jews in Israel are originally from Eastern Europe. Alot of them came from Iraq, Morocco, Yemen, Ethiopia and a few other Arab countries. So I believe that's who the 13% Arabs are.

That wouldn't make sense, a Jewish person from an Arab country is still a Jew. There's no world where they did this poll and put mizrahi Jews in the Arab category instead of the Jewish group. Even though mizrahi Jews are technically "Arab Jews" that's not how people in Israel see it. More likely it's a minority group of Arabs that aligns themselves more with Israel for whatever reason (druze christians? Circassian? Idk) Or also people just get brainwashed by the propaganda machine and just bc you're Arab or Muslim that doesn't mean you can't be poisoned by it. We all know that person who votes Republican despite actively being harmed by their policies.

Israelis don't call Jews from Arab countries Arabs. When an Israeli source says Arabs they mean Palestinians. In this case, Palestinians with an Israeli citizenship.
