U.S. Public Sympathy for Palestinians Surpasses Support for Israelis Amid Ongoing Gaza Genocide

We are not in the aftermath. We remain in the continuation of genocide. As our people in Gaza continue to be massacred and besieged, and the settler project devours the West Bank, we face a reckoning. The Zionist settler state continues to act with complete impunity. Three years of Israel’s genocide have martyred over 74,000 Palestinians in Gaza and injured over 175,000. Over 1,400 Palestinians have been murdered in the last year under the façade of the “ceasefire.” Hospitals continue to receive the bodies of our fathers, mothers, brothers, and daughters. Families continue to survive in stasis, in tents meters from the rubble of their homes. One year into the false promises of the illegitimate Board of Peace, Gaza’s people are still denied the materials for self-sufficiency and the machinery for reconstruction.

People of conscience across the world have borne witness to these atrocities and understand that Zionism is a threat to humanity. For the first time in U.S. history, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis. AIPAC funding has become politically toxic for candidates running for office. Tens of thousands of people will take to the streets for an international day of action this weekend, in protest of the ongoing genocide.

Though consciousness has shifted in favor of the Palestinian cause around the world, as we write this today, Zionism and the institutions that sustain it are hard at work, attempting to re-legitimize the genocidal settler project. Our enemy is desperately attempting to rebuild an image indelibly seared by genocide.

As families in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran are sifting through the rubble of their homes, politicians and lobbyists are deepening the political and economic foundations that embed support for Israel in the global order of things. This leads us to the contradiction of this moment. How can Zionism, condemned by the majority as a genocidal ideology to its core, still remain entrenched in our communities? The weapons components that line the Occupation forces’ arsenals are trucked through our streets. The funds that enable the genocide are approved by our representatives, and the institutions that provide narrative cover for this death machine are still welcomed in civil society. We cannot allow this state of affairs to continue. We must not allow Zionism, and all those complicit in genocide, to be normalized, rehabilitated, or left unpunished. Zionism must remain condemned and isolated until it is liquidated and our people are liberated.

In this moment of so-called “ceasefire,” the Zionist entity is attempting to polish its sullied image. In March of this year, the Zionist government increased its hasbara (propaganda) budget to $730 million. The enormous funds will be used for PR campaigns aimed at reshaping global narratives and obscuring the reality of ongoing violence and destruction. This effort reflects a broader strategy to reframe the conflict, shifting focus from the systematic nature of the violence to the so-called “security needs” of the settler state.

The international community stands at a crossroads. While the moral weight of the Palestinian cause grows, the structures that sustain Zionism persist. The call for justice, accountability, and an end to the occupation remains urgent. As the world watches, the question is not just whether the international community will act, but whether it will recognize the truth of what is happening and respond with the courage and compassion that the situation demands.
