But in context, I was responding to this post: "Is there comprehension problem? Read it again, I'm blaming...warmonger Netanyahu." which was made in response to an antisemite killing two random Jews.
My full response was: "For killing two Jews in DC? Yeah, I agree, there is a huge comprehension issue that is getting in the way of making sense."
I still don't see how Netanyahu can be blamed for killing Jews in DC. and I can only attribute this nonsense to comprehension problems.
As far as the ToI article referring to the latest poll, they didn't cite the source, nor did they give context to their report. I couldn't find any references to a Channel 12 poll that mentions Yair Golan. I am not sure where "Seven percent of respondents said that they werent planning on voting for his left-wing party and now will do so as a result of his comments" come from. It could be from Israelis to the left of Meretz or from the Arab coalitions, which would mean a commensurate reduction in the Israelis voting for those parties. I just don't have enough information to put it in context.
But a different poll was referenced in JPOst (yes, even JPost can be of some use at times), and there was a mention of who conducted their poll. It was Maariv. They don't have poll results in English, but I looked up the Hebrew version of the magazine online, and here is what I found: https://www.maariv.co.il/news/politics/article-1199115
As per Google Translate, the article headline states: ""The Hobby" and its Punishment: The Democrats Led by Yair Golan Lose Four Seats | "Maariv" Poll. According to the Maariv poll, the voters who distanced themselves from Golan's party due to his words remained in the bloc, and therefore there is no change in the political map: 48 seats for the coalition, 62 for the opposition, without the Arab parties."
It appears to me that there were voters who distanced themselves from Golan's remarks, but remained in his block DESPITE his words, not because of them, and that the coalition lost four seats overall.
And didn't you once say that Channel 12 is a right-wing outlet?
