ICJ says its not a genocide

The Zio-troll has entered the chat
Take that up with the young Americans being polled.
I think you’re confusing an informal opinion poll taken by the media outlet with official polling numbers. It would have been better to list the polls being cited, but in general most Americans want to see an immediate cease-fire. I’ll keep my eyes open for more data
