In Lebanon? Probably not, by definition. In Palestine? Almost definitely yes.

Edited because I misread/misinterpreted better as worse.

Change rockets to airstrikes and ethnic cleansing and Hezbollah to Israel and you'll understand how everyone in the region feels about Israel.

There's actually more if you click on "findings" or "sample report" at the bottom of the page, but you get the idea now. The former gets you to the actual survey results.

Before I continue I'll make it clear: I'm not trying to advocate for "push them into the sea" rhetoric or saying that peace is impossible, and I certainly don't think atrocities committed on either side are justified. That said, we need to understand the situation without any illusions or overoptimism before we can start discussing solutions.

it's pretty fucking bleak which makes it even more important to avoid confirming the persecution bias on both sides

True to a degree, but it also shows that "the majority of Israelis support genocide in Palestine" is a proven fact. From these results  we know that, for example, ideas along the lines of "this is completely or mostly Netanyahu's fault and can't be used to judge the Israeli public" are wrong, because unfortunately Netanyahu's actions in the war are representing Israeli popular will. This means we'll never get a real solution to this conflict, at least in the next few decades, by leaving Israel to its own devices. More heavy handed measures, a la South Africa, are necessary.

The Peace Index is a survey project that's conducted every 3 (???) months. Click on "see the latest survey" then on "findings" and you'll see what I mean. I'd love to quote specific numbers but it won't open on my device for some reason. Anyway numbers like how many Israelis think the Israeli military response to October 7 is justified and how many think its scale is just about right or too low are particularly damning, but you should go through the whole thing.

Look up the index of peace by Tel Aviv University. It is an overwhelming majority; even opposition voters support the genocide.

Israel's occupation of Lebanon created Hezbollah, just like their occupation of Gaza created Hamas. This is what we call the consequences of one's actions.

Other commenters have explained why it's good better than I can, so I'll just say: It's good enough that my biggest dissatisfaction is that my preferred playatyle (JUSTICE FOR NAIL ARTS!!!!) is unpopular.

Bruh can't understand the struggle of nail arts players.

I mean I'd believe you if you told me it's satire.

Uh... Yeah. The reactor was in operation until 2019 when it stopped being profitable. Disposal was never a problem.

They're not running it, though. They're making a deal with the owners (an actual nuclear power company) who are going to run it themselves and sell Microsoft the output.

I thought it was like the EU policy of labeling them as made in Israeli settlements; turns out it was the opposite, which... Makes sense now that I think about it.
