According to a poll, half of American voters believe that Israel is killing Gaza.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday, 51% of Americans believe there is a genocide, while 57% of Democrats and 51% of independents do so.
According to the poll, a large majority of Republicans, 64 percent to 20 percent, do not believe that Israel is planning a genocide.
The poll found that six out of ten US voters oppose Washington providing more military aid to Israel, which is the highest proportion since Quinnipiac first started asking the question in November 2023.
According to Quinnipiac, voters are almost equally sympathetic to Palestinians and Israelis, with 37% saying they have more sympathy for Palestinians and 36% saying they have more sympathy for Israelis.
Since Quinnipiac first started asking the question in December 2001, the percentage of Americans who sympathize with Palestinians is the highest and the lowest.
In a press release that comes with the poll, Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy stated that “Support for Palestinians increases while the appetite for funding Israel militarily declines sharply.”
A harsh assessment of Israel’s approach to the Gaza campaign is also a source of infamy.
The poll, which has a reported margin of error of plus or minus 3,4 percentage points, was conducted by Quinnipiac among 1, 220 self-identified registered voters.
Israel has been accused of carrying out a genocide in Gaza, according to rights organizations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, which the nation’s government has refuted.
The International Court of Justice, which hears disputes between states, decided in an interim decision in January last year that South Africa could proceed with its case in which it accused Israel of genocide and that Palestinians had “plausible rights to protection from genocide.”
