Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

It's a bit more complicated I think and the polling is pretty close. Here's a survey from about a month ago that puts the divide closer to 50/50. I suppose a better way to word my last paragraph is either "half a minority" or "a portion of a minority".
I did want to highlight the Jewish community's opinion though because I think the division there is extremely telling - and because I know the evangelical community is all in on genocide but, imo: they're a bunch of fucking idiots, I don't care what they think, and their opinions are irrelevant to politics because most of them will vote for Trump come hell or high water.
It’s not Jews, it’s Republicans that you need to look at. The US sees Israel as an investment first, a military base second, and a sovereign nation third.

I don't disagree - but in terms of this election everyone who considers themselves a Trump republican is unswayable... but there are a lot of folks outraged at Netanyahu who may refuse to vote at all.
They’ll be inviting a far worse supporter of genocide of not just Palestinians, but Ukrainians as well.
You'll not hear any disagreements from me - but even here on lemmy you'll find people who are planning to refrain from voting because they morally object to voting for someone who is supporting genocide. That's a very fair morale stance in the abstract but in this case you've got two real choices and choosing not to vote is inviting even more death.
You’re right, and it’s sad. They really don’t understand how much worse it’ll be if they put their pride in front of the polls. I’m voting reluctantly out of fear of the repercussions of another Trump presidency, and I’m older than average on here. They have so much more to lose that won’t just “come back” with the next election.
