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.

        Idk man its not just boomers ive seen plenty of millenials and younger believe everything they hear on both sides of the aisle.

        Its like critical thinking has vanished. And to be honest it doesn’t seem like media literacy is really taught that much in the states anymore

    How can anyone look at Gaza before/after maps and think this has anything to do with fighting Hamas? It’s like they were targeting weeds and instead of using targeted herbicides, they just threw diesel and salt to destroy everything. Either A) Israel is governed and run by the most imbecilic people in creation, or B) They want to destroy everyone and everything. Both are simple and likely, but throw in quotes and attitudes over a century, and you get a clearer result of the answer.
