POLL RESULTS: YISRAELIS SUPPORT COUP
According to a survey conducted by Maagar Mochot, 59% of the Yisraeli public approves of the recent right-wing coup d’etat, while 17% disapproves and 24% were unaware that a coup had occurred. Support for the change of government was strongest among settlers, haredim, Russian speakers and real estate developers. Opposition was principally expressed by self-haters, infertile women, homosexuals and Uri Avnery. Many of the respondents with no knowledge of the coup were software designers.
Yitzhak Katz, CEO OF Maagar Mochot, commented that “I wish I felt more confident about our results. Several people expressed misgivings about the takeover, but said the settlers and the haredim were simply too dangerous to contradict. One told me ‘irrationality is power. You can’t defeat it.’ Perhaps it’s absurd, but it almost seemed like they were talking about the Nazis.”
