"doing its best to avoid civilian causalities, even though there will be casualties"
"allow Hamas to continue running Gaza"
Incredible consent manufacturing by Harvard Harris, even with that batshit wording 43% of young people still said fuck that lmao
Do you use hard drugs such as crack cocaine and/or masturbate in public and/or feel violent urges towards pets, children and the elderly and/or support Palestine?
"Do you think our god like super warriors in Israel should wipe out the vermin in Gaza or allow the people to live in filth, vote yes or no"
77% are following Israel closely and 63% aren't following it closely 🤡
The "following closely" and "not following closely" columns each add up to 100%. It's organized in an unclear way but it adds up
On the first read (and second and third, I really struggle to parse it lol) it said: among people who support moving forward with an operation in Rafah, 77% are following Israel closely and 63% aren’t following it closely. In hindsight I can't read 🫠
Te question is not about if they follow or not the occupied state of Palestine, but from each one if they support more genocide or not.
"Should peaceful, peace-loving, kind, caring Israel cast the magic "war over" spell that magically makes everything good forever with no issues? Or should evil dark lord Hamas summon a million-billion mega-Hitlers to destroy the world?"
“Yeah we totally promise to stop bombing Gaza after we turn Rafah into rubble. Pinky swear.”
These Harvard polls are absolute slop. Manufacturing consent to the fullest.
The questions they ask are obviously designed to elicit responses that support the status quo. Everyone headline about “80% of Americans support israel” is based solely on people being asked “Do you support israel or Hamas more?” with only two response options
Why dont they just let palestinians have a november election and ask them to vote so hard that Hamas disintegrates? I thought this was about democracy?
Besides the obvious, it is absolutely pointless asking Americans this detailed of a question about foreign policy. Like 90% of Americans barely have any idea about what’s going on other than maybe some vague notion of an “Israel-Hamas War”. This question may have well as been asked in Hindi, it would be just as incomprehensible to most Americans. So the obvious slant in the wording will direct most people to answer a certain way just because it sounds nice.
If the past 6 months don't convince you that the IDF can't be trusted to "avoid civilian casualties" at all, and that no amount of promises would make any material difference on the amount of innocents being killed, I don't know what to tell you.
Should we do another 9/11 even though innocent civilians will be killed (we will do our best to avoid civilian casualties) or should we allow the Biden administration to continue running New York?
