Some 65% of respondents said Israeli artists and athletes should not be penalized for the actions of the Israeli government, German public broadcaster ARD’s poll found.
Big genocide supporters.
The polling institute Infratest dimap conducted the survey with 1,306 participants aged 18 and over by phone and online from September 29 to October 1.
With about > 83 Mio people I have a hard time to conclude a general German trend from 1306 participants.
I’m in favor of inviting someone to represent Palestine and someone for Israel and then they can fight it out on stage.
I’d like another poll commissioned by someone without a vested interest, plzkthxbye.
I am not disagreeing: why do you think ARD has a vested interest?
From the way the article is phrased (also in German) it sounds like the question was: “should Israeli artists be penalized for the actions of their country”, which sounds extremely biased. Unfortunately I couldn’t find out what they actually asked, because it isn’t mentioned anywhere I looked.
Because they broadcast it and are at least heavily involved in organising German participation. If nothing else, it’s prestige.
