'Quite evident': Young Americans support genocide charges against Israel
Polls show Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 are more likely to agree that Israel is committing genocide in besieged Gaza than other age groups in the country.

Could we get a better source than fucking trtworld?
Among younger Americans, and along political lines, divisions are more prominent. Almost half of those surveyed aged 18-29, 49%, say Israel is committing genocide, with 24% disagreeing and 27% uncertain.

I said in another thread that the pro-Israel lobby clearly doesn't understand just how badly this "war" is costing Israel politically. You can't go murdering tens of thousands of people and starving hundreds of thousands more, from a position of impunity, and then expect that people won't care. If Israeli leadership like Netanyahu and Gvir aren't held accountable for the genocide they're enacting, either internationally or internally, Israel is going to come to be defined by their actions.

I hope y'all are right, but I doubt it.. It seems like gaslighting works just fine so far in politics.
Huge poll. 8 respondents 😜
I think you're confusing an informal opinion poll taken by the media outlet with official polling numbers. It would have been better to list the polls being cited, but in general most Americans want to see an immediate cease-fire. I'll keep my eyes open for more data
Cease-fire is fine but calling it a genocide is akin to saying the shooting at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas a few years back was a genocide of country music fans.
Take that up with the young Americans being polled.
