“Many American Jews sharply disapprove of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, with 61 percent saying Israel has committed war crimes and about 4 in 10 saying the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians,” according to a Washington Post poll.

“The findings are striking given the long-standing ties between the U.S. Jewish community and Israel, suggesting the potential for a historic breach over the Gaza war.”

If you were polling self identified Christians about their Xmas traditions and close to 30% said Jesus Christ wasn't very important to them I not sure the survey would yield meaningful info.
