GraceRandolph Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Despite President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken's impassioned denials, and the self-censorship of the New York Times, almost four in 10 likely voters and more than half of all Democrats believe Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, according to a new poll of 1,265 U.S. likely voters from Zeteo and Data For Progress, conducted from April 26 to 29. Seven months after the Oct. 7 attacks, and as the Israeli military prepares for a full-scale invasion of Rafah, our poll shows that American voters are largely divided on whether Israel's actions in Gaza so far constitute a genocide, with 39% saying it is and 38% saying it isn't. Among Democrats, however, there is a clear majority, 56%, who opt for the G-word. There is also a generational and ethnic split among voters: a majority of under-45s (55%), as well as pluralities of Black (44%) and Latino (48%) voters, think it's a genocide. Despite the Israeli government's refusal to agree to a hostage deal earlier this week, our survey reveals that 70% of voters support a permanent ceasefire and de-escalation of violence in Gaza - the highest percentage since Data for Progress began tracking this in October. Among Democrats, that number reaches a whopping 83%, while for independents it is 65%. Even among Republicans, a clear majority, 56%, say they back a permanent ceasefire.

Dante Silva Posted May 8 Posted May 8 If one country makes a decision to bomb another and its soldiers rape babies and the elderly before beheading them en masse then why on earth would anyone even try to pretend it's anything other than genocide? 1
Thesedays Posted May 8 Posted May 8 56% Dems believe there's a genocide going on. 99% of Dem politicians who supposedly represent them are in favor of this genocide and of funding it. And those Dems who believe there's a genocide will still vote for the genocide-enablers anyway because they feel like there's nothing they can do. So it's comical when people think democracy will be broken if Trump is reelected when democracy is already broken full stop. 12 2 1

Well Chuck Schumer called Netanyahu an obstacle for peace who was turning Israel into a pariah state but is now inviting him to congress. Maybe listening to voters is a start? 2
