Poll: 3 in 10 Americans Believe Israel Committed Genocide in Gaza

Nearly three years into Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine’s Gaza, only one-fifth of US adults believe Israel has not committed genocide against Palestinians, according to a new AP-NORC poll.

About three in 10 Americans say it has, while roughly half say they do not know enough to say. Among Jewish Americans, 30% believe Israel has committed genocide, while 49% disagree. The poll also highlights a sharp partisan divide, with 52% of Democrats describing Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide, compared with just 13% of Republicans.

Since October 2023, Israel’s military attacks on the Palestinian enclave have killed more than 73,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, with more than 1,000 killed since the October 2025 ceasefire deal took effect according to TRTworld.

CROSSFIREARABIA – This time there is no commentary from Ibrahim Isam like he usually provides

However Maryanne Sanders wrote on his page:

This is a truly real photo Ibrahim. It shows us your daily reality – the tents, the density of people. Where is the personal escape? Maybe the sea. May normality return soon.

Another, Kholoud Hamatto said:

Usually, summer is a time to enjoy the sea and sunshine and create beautiful memories… Yet our people are forced to live in tents on the beach, deprived of the most basic necessities of human life, privacy, and dignity.

How can a place meant for joy and respite become a shelter? Hasn’t the time come for these chapters of our Nakba to end, and for our people to reclaim their right to a safe, dignified, and humane life?

Bernadette Dunn lamented:

At a quick first glance of the Gaza shoreline it almost appears as a type of festive gathering with lots of people and a rainbow of colorful tents.

Once one picks up the phone to see the real picture it becomes all too clear that this scene is anything but festive.

I have no words except to express my sorrow and shame that this is the reality of the lives of Gaza and it’s people today.

I’m sorry you all are living this nightmare while the 🌎 stands by and does nothing.

I’m ashamed to be witness to this. I’m ashamed that my country (USA) is so involved in causing and perpetuating the suffering of the Palestinians and the destruction of your homeland.

I pray 🙏🏼 for change to come fast.

I pray that the world’s “leaders” will come to it’s or our senses and STOP this genocide.

A third year of this insane genocide will begin in less than one month as innocent people continue to be slaughtered and what little remains of the infrastructure of Gaza is bombed, burned and bulldozed down.

Dear God 🙏🏼before another funeral or another child dies by a sniper’s bullet before she attends her first day of school make this travesty end. Gaza deserves to live.

Let the healing begin
