Forty percent of registered US voters think Israel is intentionally killing civilians in its war on Gaza, according to a national poll published Tuesday.
When asked if Israel was taking enough precautions to avoid civilian casualties, 62 percent said they were not, with just 25 percent saying Israel was taking enough precautions.
More than half of registered US voters disapprove of Israel’s war, and 59 percent said they believe that Israel should stop its “military campaign” even if Hamas has not been fully “eliminated”. Only 27 percent said the campaign should continue.
Only 40%… I guess look who we elected, I shouldn’t be surprised
I don’t suspect most people in the US even know what’s actually happening in Gaza
I’m pretty sure more than half of registered US voters have never opened a book since they graduated high school, so this tracks.
Whenever I bring up Palestine around normies, the most common response is “they have been killing each other for 2000 years” type of ahistorical nonsense.
These people aren’t inherently dumb. When educated, most will adopt the moral, anti-genocide position. 40% is not enough, but it’s so much higher than it was a decade ago. We are making (slow, painful) progress.
Y’all are right that 40% is insanely low, but remember that there is a massive propaganda machine, coupled with an attack on education…all designed to make compliant workers.
