This leads us to the following fact: this is largely a boomers’ protest movement, with a majority of those aged 50 and older filling the ranks. Images from the rally show lots of gray hair in the crowd, and the leadership is made up by-and-large by has-beens. “When we asked opposition supporters, ‘Did you participate in one of the protest actions against the reform?’ among those aged 45+, about 53% answered that they participated, while among those aged 30-44, only 27% said the same,” says the Direct Polls report.
Asked about the President’s outline, 68% of opposition party voters said the outline is balanced, 9% claimed is biased in favor of the reform, and 17% admitted it is biased in favor of the opponents of the reform. However, in the cross-section of people aged 30-44, 34% of them believe the president presented a biased outline in favor of the reform opponents.
In short, should Israel experience a civil war over the judicial reform, the armies of the left will require lots of medical attention, and someone to remind them when they must take their pills. Most younger Israelis who are against the reform will not show.
The survey was conducted by Shlomo Filber and Zuriel Sharon through Direct Falls Ltd. on March 16, 2023, using a digital system combined with a panel, among 993 sampled adults (18+) who are a representative sample of the general population in Israel. The statistical sampling error is +3.4% with a probability of 95%.
