The poll participants believe that "Israel" has gone too far and are concerned because of Biden's constant support for the occupation.

A new poll from The Associated Press- NORC Center for Public Affairs Research revealed that half of US adults say that the Israeli genocide in Gaza has “gone too far” as a result of mainly growing disapproval among Republicans and political independents.

In the wider sense, the poll shows support for "Israel" and the Biden administration’s involvement in the genocide is gradually decreasing as only 31% of US adults approve of Biden’s actions regarding the genocide, including just 46% of Democrats in contrast with the previous support for "Israel' after October 7. 

Melissa Morales, a 36-year-old political independent in Runnemede, New Jersey, shared that she watches videos and news from Gaza daily, and witnessing images of Palestinian children wounded, orphaned, or unhoused due to the Israeli genocide in Gaza makes her mind go to her 3-year-old boy.

“I just can’t even imagine, like, my son roaming the streets, wanting to be safe. Wanting his mom. Or just wanting someone to get him,” she expressed. She added that the Israeli crimes have gone too far as well as the Biden administration's support of the latter as he has been continuously and deliberately supporting "Israel" since October 7. Even though the Biden administration has been claiming that it's pressing "Israel" to reduce its murder of Palestinians and allow humanitarian aid, it has shown nothing but increasing support for the IOF amid the rising death toll exceeding 27,000 martyrs. 

“These kids ... they’re needing the end of this,” Morales stressed. “It’s such an unfair fight.”

On the other hand, John Milor, a cybersecurity expert in Clovis, California, who describes himself as a Republican-voting independent, says he remains “100% behind Israel."

Genocide Joe: Biden's latest nickname

While Joe Biden attacked Donald Trump over the key election issue of abortion rights on January 23, the current US President was interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters demanding a ceasefire and an end to the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Protesters yelled "Genocide Joe has to go," interrupting him at least 10 times as he spoke in a Manassas, Virginia, rally which marked his first public campaigning event in the new year, alongside Vice President Kamala Harris.

Biden struggled to begin and proceed with his speech but managed to throw in a remark, as he dismissed demonstrators, saying, "This is going to go on for a while. They’ve got this planned.”

Pro-Palestinian activists held up the Palestinian flag and a banner calling for a ceasefire but were eventually forced out of the rally. 

The rally itself was supposed to discuss abortion rights and legitimacy, but the disruption evinced a more profound issue affecting the elections; the Palestinian cause and the genocide in Gaza.
