Yeah the immediately following "public opinion" section is particularly interesting. really makes u think.
I do wonder how Pew got such drastically different results from every other poll.

Pretty amazing how nonchalant you’re talking about theft. I guess the approved strategy for legal theft is as follows. 1. Create a payments company that accepts deposits and holds balances (a bank — but don’t call it that) 2. Create a broken AML algorithm that flags X% of deposits as fraud 3. Force the falsely accused to take you to court to get their money back 4. Keep the rest. Most people won’t contest What a grea…
(1) would not be legal without an enormous amount of work.

Being a Zionist and supporting settlers are not mutual. Being a Zionist is simply supporting a Jewish state not everything the government does.
Isn't it rather Zionists usually support the settlers, with or against the government? (and orthodox jews don't recognize the israeli government as truly legitimate anyway) Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_settler_violence
Zionism is simply support for a Jewish state in Israel, not necessarily for settlers. The vast majority of the center-left political groups in Israel consider themselves Zionists, while being rabidly anti-settler. For example, the left-wing protests against judicial reform in Israel used the Israeli flag as their symbol — because they're Zionists, and believe the judicial reform undermined Israel. (The right wing and religious counterprotests also used the Israeli flag as their symbol, since they're also Zionists, and believe the current judicial system is detrimental to Israel.)
Even some right-wing Israeli political parties have been anti-settler while pro-Zionism, e.g. Ariel Sharon's Kadima party that forcibly evicted all settlers from Gaza at gunpoint, destroyed the settlements there, and ended Israeli occupation of Gaza (the "unilateral disengagement") in 2005.

That will never happen though. Israel would become a minority Jewish nation. On the other hand, if they just took the land and expelled the people, everybody would see it as genocide.

No - it's not because they specifically support the settlers. But because they don't give a fuck. The Palestinians are far too small in number (and most especially political clout) for them to make any accommodations for. Especially if it upsets public opinion in that larger (and infinitely stronger) country they have the misfortune of being surrounded by.
They're giving service to Israeli settlers in Palestine but not Palestinians in Palestine. There's nearly 4 million Palestinians in Gaza & the West Bank, and about 7.15 million Jews in Israel. By contrast, there are 450,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank, and 9,000 settlers in Gaza.

I don't understand the confusion on this topic. One side will pay the family of a suicide bomber that murders innocent civilians, the other won't. It's not complicated. War is ugly, but as a global society we do have some idea about the difference between combat and terrorism. Firing rockets indiscriminately into a civilian area is not combat. Hiding your guns, bombs, and bases inside of civilian buildings is not som…
"I don't understand the confusion on this topic. One side will pay the family of a suicide bomber that murders innocent civilians, the other won't. It's not complicated" Not complicated? Just compare the civilian casualties on both sides. Afaik they are way higher on the palestine side. When the IDF bombs a refugee camp, to take out one terrorist, they still consistently hit bystanders. And before the IDF was militar…
The IDF doesn’t regularly bomb refugee camps to take out one terrorist. They often have precision strikes that take out a single person. The IDF has very often canceled a strike due to civilians/children getting too close.
The first link appears to be an actual battle that was rebranded a massacre for optics. In an active battle during a war non-combatants will die. Calling that terrorism is simply dishonest.
The 2nd link was blown wildly out of proportion, a group of Israelis rioted and burnt down… a junk yard. The before and after don’t look that different. This was again a large effort by anti-semetic western media to paint the Jews as in the wrong and totally ignore the multiple murders/terrorist attacks committed by the local Arab population in the very recent past (as in same day). This was an angry mob response to an unjustified killing…hmmm does that sound familiar, are you calling the 2020 protests terrorism?
This is as simple as it gets: the Arabs take every chance they get to murder Jews. The Jews take great pains to defend themselves and protect all life in the vicinity. Do they fail sometimes and kill someone unintentionally? Sure but they also hold themselves to account, and take every (even unreasonable) effort to only target those who are actively threatening other people’s lives.
I don’t think you’re being honest in your argument.
Isnt this what Bitcoin is for? Use Bitcoin. There are services that will convert bitcoin to other currencies and vice versa. We don't need paypal.
Why would people use Bitcoin over sending USDC or other USD stablecoins directly on any other chain?

Edit: a sibling comment questions the accuracy of the assertion that the majority of orthodox Jews support the Israeli state. I have no idea, so setting that point aside:
Definite/indefinite articles matter. "A Jewish state" is not necessarily "The Jewish State"/"modern State of Israel". I suspect support for "a Jewish state" and modern Israel is rather correlated, but not 1.0.
