More than one-third of Americans believe Israel is committing genocide, poll shows

Fuck, that's so low.

The other ⅔ apparently have their head in the sand .

Israel is blocking aid organisations from buying food, water and medicine in israel and transporting it through the Ker Shalom crossing. Forcing everything through the extremely slow Egypt crossing which they are actively holding up. If they wanted to prevent weapon smuggle then they should love it going through Ker Shalom

I cannot think of a single possible explanation other than israel trying to starve Gazans and commit genocide. How are Americans this brainwashed?

So at least 1/3 are paying attention

Probably because of all the genocide they're doing.

Imagine you, your friends and your family get killed and washed away from your land, and 2/3 of US people don't believe it's genocide.

• 67% said a ceasefire should only happen if the hostages are released and Hamas is removed from power

• 83% said October 7 was a terror attack, including 74% of those aged 18-24

• 80% said they support Israel over Hamas, including 57% of those aged 18-24

• 69% said Israel was trying to avoid civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip and 66% said Israel was just trying to defend itself

• 74% said Hamas’s attack was genocidal

I think that shows that this is not the issue that is going to really hurt Biden. What will hurt him is if the economy for the average person hasn't improved by election day. And I doubt it will. So I sure as fuck hope he doesn't lose to Trump.

If that headline said one third of Americans don't believe Israel is commiting genocide which is also an accurate from the results it would set a very different tone.

That still seems low.

saw this one making the rounds the other day, I think it's quite fitting https://twitter.com/SaeedDiCaprio/status/1750152798623195473

do not use other genocides to describe this one

You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.

"believe"... Even 'positive' articles sneaks in some doubt in the headline. At least dobt your lyin' eyes, you pleb.

Another garbage YouGov propaganda piece. All my homies see right through YouGov's bullshit.

Then opinions are shifting. Good.

Or in other words, two thirds believe they don't, which is way more drastic.

In other news: 2/3rds of Americans are retarded.

It is crucial to understand the weight and gravity of the term “genocide”. It is not a term to be thrown around lightly or used carelessly. The act of genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. It is a heinous crime against humanity and a violation of the most fundamental human rights.

Unfortunately, the term “genocide” has been misused and abused in recent times. The ongoing conflict in certain regions of the world has led to the misapplication of the term, especially in situations where it does not necessarily apply. The mislabeling of such conflicts as “genocides” is not only inaccurate but also disrespectful to the victims of actual genocides.

The Tutsi in Rwanda, the Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, the Armenians by the Ottoman Empire, and Darfur are just a few examples of the horrific atrocities that have been committed in the name of genocide. These are real genocides with real victims, and to equate them with other conflicts that do not meet the criteria of genocide is to belittle the suffering and pain of those who have endured such atrocities.

It is important to distinguish between acts of violence and genocide, as the latter is a specific and intentional crime. The use of the term “genocide” inappropriately can have serious consequences, including the potential to undermine legitimate efforts to prevent and respond to actual genocides.

Therefore, it is essential to use the term “genocide” with caution and precision. Those who misuse the term, either intentionally or out of ignorance, do a disservice to the victims of real genocides and hinder efforts to prevent such crimes from occurring in the future.

As I understand the term genocide, that seems not to exactly be what is happening here. Although one could say it certainly rhymes with it.

2/3rds of Americans aren't fucking morons based on this reporting. Still a scary number of idiots.

Then it was a poor sample.

35%? So that means 65% of the respondents are smart enough to understand what genocide is and this isn't one. tell you what Sherlock, when you and your 35% other friends stop insulting the actual victims of real genocides then I'll listen to things you say but until then you can just be quiet because you have no idea what you are talking about.

You guys understand that by continually misusing the term and calling this a genocide you are belittling the victims of actual genocides such as the Tutsi in Rwanda, the Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, the Armenians by the Ottoman Empire, Darfur. The list goes on. This is not a genocide and anyone that calls it on is either willfully spreading misinformation or is woefully misinformed as to what a real genocide is.
