hey, i just need you to know you are so important to so many people, and you’ve genuinely made such an impact in my life. i love you so much and im glad you exist. i love you

Thank you. I love you so much. I really did need and appreciate this.

I'm okay, I'm safe. It's all passive and I don't have any active thoughts/plans or anything like that. I have a good job, amazing pets, a good family, a wonderful wife. I am so lucky and I know that which is what drives me insane because then I feel guilty for being passively suicidal.

Sorry for the ramble. But I greatly appreciate this and love you a lot

It's so clear to me that so many so called "anti Zionists" - especially the non Palestinian goyim - have no idea how the Israeli election system works, and how bibi remains in power, and why we had five elections in like, three years, despite elections supposedly being every four years - because he couldn't keep a government stable enough to stay in power. Bibi netanyahu is MASSIVELY unpopular, and his approval rate has tanked even more since the war started, even among likud voters, the people who vote for HIS party (although their approval rates ranked less than the rest of the population). He has an extreme right wing government because if he didn't cooperate with right wing extremists and haredim he straight up wouldn't have the majority he needs to be our prime minister in the first place. He's been on trial for corruption for years at this point, and tried to completely restructure the judicial system just to avoid prison - leading to nearly a full year of protests until Oct 7. Luckily it didn't end up passing.

If elections were held at any point in the last five months since this war started, not only would he not be PM, we'd straight up have a center-left government. My recent transformation into a Yair Golan stan account is a joke but also 100% real - according to polls from the last three months or so, if he does what he's campaigning to do, leading a combined avoda and meretz party, he'd get enough votes to have an actual influential left wing party in the government for the first time in decades. An unbelievable amount of Israelis are calling for bibi to resign, many of them not calling for it to happen after the war ends, but right now.

I am sourcing this information from polls conducted by channels 11 (kan), 12, and 13, as well as by the Israeli democracy foundation, all but one of our important news channels - channel 14, the last channel, is our equivalent of fox news, and despite their numbers often being extremely different due to what is in my opinion biased reporting and flawed methodology, even they at times have had to admit that gantz is currently leading in the polls.

(Disclaimer that I work for a company that provides subtitles for channel 13, but i do not directly work for channel 13. Channel 13 leans mostly center left, and employs several (self identified) Arab Israelis in front of the camera, including Lucy Aharish, who makes considerable effort to bring Palestinian and Bedouin perspectives to her show. It also employs at least one massive racist though.)

I write this post because I keep seeing an unsourced claim by goyim that there's a poll showing a high rate of approval - 88%! - of the destruction and/or deaths Israel and the IDF are causing in Gaza. I went down a rabbit hole and simply couldn't find a poll asking about approval of deaths or destruction, although maybe I was looking up the wrong keywords? As a result I have just... So many questions. Because with the information I have from trustworthy local news sources, from the news channels I mentioned above and papers such as yediot aharonot/ynet and Haaretz, it doesn't fit with current public opinion, including many recent protests for more efforts towards a ceasefire. So my questions are thus -

Who conducted this poll? Was it a think tank, a government agency, a paper, a news channel? If so, which one? Are they left leaning, right leaning? Was it conducted by an Israeli or foreign institution?

Who did they ask? Was it a sample of likud voters; all Israeli adults; did they include only Jewish Israelis or also Arab citizens (approx. 1.5 million out of our 8 million population), Bedouins, and other minorities?

When was the poll conducted? Was it in October, immediately after the Oct 7 massacre, before the death toll in Gaza grew? Was it conducted more recently?

What, exactly, did they ask? Did they ask about destruction in general, or about the death toll in particular? Did they ask about the attempts to rescue hostages with military means, or all military actions? Did they ask about the number of Hamas operatives dead, about their estimated ratio of Hamas to civilians, about the total deaths?

What was the size of the pool surveyed? Was it conducted on a few dozen, a few hundred, or a few thousand people?

Because without this information, that one, sole statistic is essentially useless. As Mark Twain said, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. Always look at the source and ask: who asked the questions, who got asked, and what the questions were.

More specific statistics and sources under the cut.

I did find one survey by the Israel democracy foundation that asked if the IDF should take the Gazan suffering into account - an entirely different question, although it did still have a horrific 89% Jewish Israelis and 14% Arab Israelis and Palestinian citizens who said they shouldn't. That said, the pool they were drawing from was not very large - 500 of the interviews were conducted in Hebrew, 100 were conducted in Arabic. Also, of the people who supposedly said that they shouldn't, a little more than half of both populations said they should "somewhat" take it into account - that is, they didn't say they shouldn't take it into account at all, just not make it their first priority. This survey was conducted mid December.

In another survey by the same source with a slight larger sample size (a little over 600 Jewish Israelis and a little over 150 Arab Israelis), an insanely low 15% still wanted Bibi to be the PM, with the only candidate who received more than 6.5% being the center candidate Benny Gantz, who historically has tried to cooperate with center and left parties, with a whopping 23% of the votes. The survey included 10 candidates, as well as five other non candidate options. 4% voted "just not Bibi", and an actually insane 30.5% voted they were undecided. Only a quarter of those surveyed believed Bibi would manage to maintain a coalition after the war, a number that includes more extreme right wing voters, and only the ultra Orthodox haredi population had a majority of people (60%) who believed he can. This survey was conducted in January.

The channel 13 news survey from early March - barely over a week ago! - covered more specifically which parties would manage to get into the government and how many seats they would get, as under a certain amount of votes you simply do not get seats. Not all seats get into a coalition. According to their poll, the amount of seats the likud would get is halved, from 32 to 17, while gantz's the state camp would grow from 12 to 39. While currently meretz gets 4 seats and haavodah do not get enough votes to get a seat at the table so to speak, a combined haavodah and meretz under Yair Golan gets 9 mandates. In total, the right wing only get 47 mandates, well short of the amount of mandates necessary to create a government.

Channel 12's corresponding poll from January shows 35 mandates for gantz, and bibi had 18 mandates. Channel 11, in the same month, gave gantz 33 mandates and bibi 20.

I also sources an English Jerusalem post article which reports on channel 14's polls; jpost is a right wing biased paper, and yet even they report 36 mandates for gantz and 18 for bibi as of February.

FAVOURITE DRAGON TYPE AND FAVOURITE CHARACTER INTERACTION WITJ A DRAGON IF YOU HAVE ONE

AHHHHH OK OK OK Not sure if you mesn species or class but my favourite species is probably the Monstrous Nightmare because is the most typically dragon-like of at least the main bunch (although its technically a wyvern)! I think they got to develeop them as a species a good amount :)

My favourite class is easily Stoker because it has so many cool ones in it like Nightmares are Stoker class, Fireworms are stoker class (I find it interesting that we dont ever truly discover the level of sentience or sapience that fireworms have other than the queen), Typhoomerangs are Stoker class, terrors, red death?? so many good dragons are stoker class!!!!! Mystery has good ones too but mostly because they just kinda put any dragon that doesnt fit anywhere else in Mystery.

For Character/dragon interactions ummmmmmm. thats a rlly good question. In general I like a lot of the more sensative interactions that Snotlout has with Hookfang like the ones in Race To Fireworm Island!!! I like their dynamic the most out of the main group. But other than characterwise??? You cant really beat the first Hiccup/Toothless nose touch in my opinion :D

#TYSMMMM 💕💕💕💕💕💕 #I also really enjoy the episode where Snotlout learns to appreciate Stormfly and Astrid learns to appreciate Hookfang #there are so many good interactions i cant !!! decide!!!! #for Favourite Class of dragon I dont think itd be fair to put Strike class because where my HTTYD knowledge kind of ends there are only. #like. #2 dragons in strike class? And the Skrill is SUPER interesting but hes interesting as a character more than as a species #Like that specific skrill is the only one we meet. maybe another one would let itself be trained. but he doesnt #To my memory hes the only dragon that outright refuses to be in contact with the vikings and thats so interesting #I think the plotline is overdone a bit seeing as theyve done it. what. three times now? #but the idea of sealing him back in the ice and then dealing with the moral reprecussions of that? #and then letting him out despite the danger? I thought that was an interesting choice!! and in character for Hiccup too #whoops rant #apollo answers shit #bennie tag #httyd #might make a tag for this kinda thing #apollo rants abt httyd #there #thanks again dude <33333333333 #faves

They're fun and upbeat songs I know every word to and love to dance around and sing too!! So fun! 21. a song from a local artist This one is fun because i get ULTIMATE bragging rights. THEE mac miller is from pittsburgh, and henry mancini who wrote Moon River grew up not far from where I am!!!!
