Missiles Disrupt Knesset Session; Israeli Opinion Of Iran Skyrockets

Public opinion of Iran has improved to close to 60% favorability.

Jerusalem, June 26 - Images of politicians unable to engage in their normal routines of corruption, incompetence, narcissism, grandstanding, lying, divisiveness, nepotism, and cronyism because ballistic strikes from the Islamic Republic forced those politicos to take shelter in parliamentary complex's underground shelters have prompted a shift in public sentiment in favor of the ayatollah regime, a new survey shows.

Public opinion of Iran has improved to close to 60% favorability in a recent poll of Israelis, following a Monday morning ballistic missile attack that disrupted Knesset activity. Before the barrage, the same surveys placed Iran's favorability at under three percent.

A spokeswoman for Geocartographia, the company that conducted both polls, called the results in line with other public sentiments of late, such as the view held by 55% of Israelis that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would perform better as Opposition leader than the current person who holds that title, Yair Lapid.

"Israelis aren't naïve about these things," explained Margie Noveror. "They've learned since October 2023 - heck, since before 1920 - that nothing good comes without a cost. Sometimes a dear cost. But the current war has taught them to forge ahead despite those losses and pursue the higher goal, the higher value. In this case, they're willing to absorb ballistic missile attacks to stop politicians from engaging in politics as usual."

Experts added that the dwindling Iranian supply of such missiles and the even-scarcer launchers makes the phenomenon even more urgent. "The IAF has been eliminating Iran's missile and drone capacity for two weeks now," explained Yitz Werthett. "Pretty soon Iran won't have the armaments left to do this with. time is of the essence. In the next two weeks, at most, Israelis won't be able to rely on Iran to disrupt the Knesset, and that, Israelis fear, could be disastrous. They're overwhelmingly in favor of missile strikes against the political elites."

Polls further indicated that the Israeli public sees strikes against the Knesset as an even more favorable scenario than a missile hitting Al Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock shrine. Analysts observed that Israelis understand any damage to either of those sacred Islamic sites will only serve to inflame the situation vis-à-vis the Muslim countries currently sitting on the sidelines of the Israel-Iran conflict, regardless of how such damage occurs. Whereas damage to, or better, absolute destruction of, the Knesset, Israelis believe will herald a brighter future for the country, at least until a new crop of politicians comes along and ruins everything.
