Haven’t heard as much from people who were supporting Israel at the beginning of the war. I think that means some of them have realized Israel went a bit too far.
Try r/worldnews. Whatever it is that is happening there, it isn't very palatable.
Worldnews and Politics on Lemmy and Reddit are probably singlehandedly responsible for 20% of the daily AstroTurf® Premiumizzle™ API access.
I subscribed to a couple politics subs yesterday here on Lemmy. I had to unsubscribe this morning.
Try r/worldevents
It's good to have a sub as a counter to pro israeli propaganda but it can't just be about Gaza if it's going to survive. Needs more posts.
Guess the percentage of Americans who think Israel went too far. .

It's 42%
I don't know about you but from my social media feed I would have guessed higher. 19% said Israel hasn't gone far enough. This article is from 2 days ago.
What's the source of the poll? Because if it's 42% of Americans that answered a random number in the middle of the day and then were willing to talk about genocide, I'm surprised the number is as high as 42%
Edit: yup it's exactly what I thought

What would you prefer, a Twitter poll? Phone call based polling is the gold standard of polling, obviously they adjust for response bias.
APNews has it at 50% without WSJ's biased lens.
