A new poll from Data for Progress and Zeteo found that the majority of likely Democratic voters believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza in its military campaign that’s been supported by President Biden.
When asked if they believed Israel was committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, 56% of Democrats, 36% of Independents, and 23% of Republicans said yes.
The Biden administration has rejected the International Court of Justice’s ruling that it’s “plausible” that Israel is committing genocide and continues to support the brutal military campaign that’s killed over 34,800 Palestinians, including over 14,000 children.
The poll also found that 55% of Democratic voters “disapprove” of the crackdown on students protesting against the genocidal war at college campuses across the country, another position that puts them at odds with President Biden, who has strongly condemned the demonstrations.
The poll also showed an increase in support for a ceasefire in Gaza among all respondents. It found that 70% of all likely voters supported the idea of the US calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and a de-escalation, including 83% of Democrats, 65% of Independents, and 56% of Republicans.
Data for Progress released a similar poll in February that found 67% of American voters supported the idea of a permanent ceasefire. President Biden has refused to call for a ceasefire that’s not linked to a hostage deal.
When are Americans going to wake up?
Biden is a truly evil human being. A psychopath. As are his apparatchiks.
It is wrong and dangerous to dismiss Biden as a degenerate senile fool. In reality, Biden knows exactly what’s going on and supports it, 100%.
Hate to say it, but if 81 million Americans truly voted for this despicable individual, then Biden represents America. If that’s the case, America deserves everything coming its way.
And it’s coming.
I practically never reply to a first-time comment on this or any site. FWIW, you earned my total affirmation here.
A great awakening probably will not occur in time to save our sorry asses.
The ICJ already determined this is a ‚plausible’ genocide. What’s the counter argument ? Maybe the Likudniks can try and argue that it’s not a genocide, merely mass murder and ethnic ckeansing.
Really ?
And what is the difference?
Democrats are idiots. Hamas needs to be eradicated regardless of civilian casualties. FJB.
Your apology is unnecessarily softhearted. There is hardly anything mysterious about it, the entire world is absolutely clear about it, and the Israeli persevere in outdoing themseves to leave no room for doubt: the eradication of the Palestinian civilians is the objective.
Hamas is being presented as some sort of excuse to commit genocide. Needs an extremely sick mind to follow that logic there. But then there’s the West Bank and then the logic goes and only the sick mind remains. You demonstrate it well.
You’re the fucking idiot.
Your level of verbosity, is indeed essential, to the argument. Touché Ole!
You are a monster.

Who uses the white phosphor weapons against civilians?
Nothing is too evil for the Israelis to do to Gazan people including children. And their American protector knows it. Can it get more evil than that?
“Who uses the white phosphor weapons against civilians?”
Here’s some video of the Russians using it on Mariupol.

I can’t take it, how despicable and f*****d up can humans be?
Creep.
Your full hatred of all Palestinians is in full display. It was never about Hamas it has always been the eradication of everything and anything Palestinian with you as has been showing by Zionist Christians who are devoid of love and compassion.
You and those like you need to be eradicated, jack.
Are you, perhaps, lost and confused Jack?… This is an antiwar website, thus the name.
I do believe, historically speaking, some people once did try to eradicate Jews.
“Hamas needs to be eradicated regardless of civilian cas-”
Show me a handle pic of a cute dog, I’ll show you a genocide fanboy.
They’re like Hitler with his love of dogs – ‘Awwww – It’s ‘ittle Jack! ‘Oo’s a sick fk? ‘Oo’s a good ‘ittle Final Solution sick fk?’
I’d like to see the results of a survey asking how many Democratic voters are aware that the genocide can only continue because their presidential nominee continues the unrestricted flow of weapons.
Then I remember when I used to do surveys, and what a gigantic pile of crap they generally turn out to be, and think, “screw it.”
Dude! 58% of Repugninants say what they’re witnessing is not genocide! Another 19% say they don’t know! Not only that! 22% of Repugninants support a full war with Iran, 27% somewhat, 8% don’t know, and 14% only a little!!! Only a LITTLE? If this was a competition for who is lost forever, I think we have a winner, who can’t win for losing!
Yes, but….

Biden will always be the tiebreaker.
I enjoyed this clip this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHUyoiEam6o
And yet 173 democrats voted in favor of the Israel part of the aid package and 33 voted against in the House.
The senate voted on the total aid package and 3 democrats voted no.
Zionism is the new (old) religion, didn’t you hear? The world was created exactly 6025 years ago and the Sun is its planet. God loves Israel and hates everyone else.
Our political system is not democratic. It’s not even representative.
Militarism and imperialism rule the US.
They Used to Say Arabs Can’t Have Democracy Because It’d Be Bad for Israel. Now the U.S. Can’t Have It Either.

I believe Israel once was a Democracy back when they all lived on Kibbutzes
It wasn’t. A democracy cannot be an ethnocracy. Israel used to dress up in socialist clothes, later in liberal clothes and now it’s naked fascism. Those political garments fitted Western sensitivities better. But Israel is a colonialist project of European Jews predominantly, and if they had their way, exclusively. The power of the Israel lobby took a long time to build up of course to the catastrophic monstrosity it is today, and has now de facto subverted, corrupted American democracy. There is perhaps no longer a need to hide the creature. There is nothing socialist or liberal about any of this and never was.
What the Dems say depends on what day of the week it is.
QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!
This information is as useful as saying the sky is blue today.
What the public thinks makes zero difference in the completely non-democratic US.
