For the hostages. I mean it's not like I don't want the hostages to return but most of them are definitely not there for the genocide. See: How 88% of Israeli Jews support the war, and 94% think Israel is using too little or just enough fire power.

I would love to see sources. I'm American so sources are limited either through our regular choices or my ignorance of outside sources, not to mention the credibility thereof. I'll take a look at any you care to provide.

So I slightly misremembered the 88% question; it's whether the answerer thinks the number of Gazans killed is justified by the war. General support for the war doesn't show up, but it is high (75% backed a Rafah operation back in March).

they want a new government. it's not about the genocide. they generally support the genocide.

Well idk really, since the only "not USA approved" news I ever get is here, so I can't really make an informed argument either for or against what you're saying. I just don't know how credible any news source may be, regardless whether slant is immediately obvious or not.

There.

It's NYT (yeah not the best source hence the weird slant) reporting on a poll by Tel Aviv university.

Oh gees, I remember reading this now. My fault, thank you for bringing it back to memory. That's... not encouraging at all, is it?
