Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has credited U.S. public support for Israel as being a key factor in allowing Israel to resist calls to end its war on Gaza. Netanyahu cited one poll that showed 82% of Americans support Israel. Netanyahu said, “This will help us continue the campaign until total victory.” Other polls have painted a very different picture. A recent AP poll found 50% of U.S. adults said they believed Israel’s actions had gone too far. Netanyahu’s comments came after President Biden said Israel will “lose support from around the world” if it “continues on its current path.”
Stop calling it “war”. It’s not war. It’s a genocide. It’s called genocide.
I agree.
You expected Netanyahu to admit that he’s committing genocide?
No, but I expect media outlets to label it properly.
I very much doubt that Democracy Now is carrying water for Netanyahu.
I completely agree, which is why I expect way better from them!
I think calling it a war on the civilian population if Gaza gets the point across without inviting arguments about whether it’s technically genocide. But yeah, just calling it a war without specifying who it’s against is basically pro-Israel propaganda.
