I presented a reliable source and you refuse to look at it. Do you have problems with the guardian as well?
Among younger Americans, and along political lines, divisions are more prominent. Almost half of those surveyed aged 18-29, 49%, say Israel is committing genocide, with 24% disagreeing and 27% uncertain.

ICJ says its not a genocide
This is incorrect.
LONDON — The International Court of Justice has found it is "plausible" that Israel has committed acts that violate the Genocide Convention. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/26/1227078791/icj-israel-genocide-gaza-palestinians-south-africa

Right and then refused to look at further evidence.
Don't have to download it. It will open a link. If you don't wanna look at the evidence this conversation is over. Thanks for coming out

Is There A Genocide in Palestine Do you think that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinian civilians?
The Zio-troll has entered the chat
Take that up with the young Americans being polled.
I think you're confusing an informal opinion poll taken by the media outlet with official polling numbers. It would have been better to list the polls being cited, but in general most Americans want to see an immediate cease-fire. I'll keep my eyes open for more data
Half of voters for President Biden in 2020 believe the Israeli government is committing a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, according to a YouGov/The Economist poll released Thursday.
The poll also found that 51 percent of Biden 2020 voters believe the Israeli government’s ground invasion of Gaza is “too harsh,” and 58 percent of the same group believe the conflict is “likely” to widen into a greater Middle East war.
Go visit Somalia. Cops are defunded there. Come back in a year if you can.
Or, if that’s not what you want. Pick a better fucking slogan so the anarcho-kids aren’t your supporters in name only.
And maybe you pick up a badge and do it. There are many openings for a big brain.
Do you put salt on the boots before you lick them? Just asking for a friend.
Well then perhaps you should've read the piece. The idea as put forward in the article is that we should close tax loopholes to prevent Canadians from donating to Israeli universities taking part in the repression of Palestinians.
As for your opinion about the title, perhaps you'll take the time to write the author and suggest he word things more to your liking in the future.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has effectively granted IOF supporting universities charitable status, notably the ability to offer donors’ tax receipts. The CRA has a special category for international universities. The idea is that people should be able to get a tax deduction when donating to their alma mater or a university that would “ordinarily include Canadian students in its student body.” In other words, Canadian taxpayers can subsidize educational institutions that train Canadians.
But when it comes to Israeli universities the number of fundraising groups and sums raised is far beyond individuals donating to their alma mater or the number of Canadians studying there. While the universities have been empowered to offer Canadian donors tax credits, they also have fundraising branches in this country. Canadian Friends of Tel-Aviv University, Canadian Friends of the University of Haifa, Canadian Friends of Hebrew University, Canadian Friends of Ben-Gurion University, Canadian Friends of Bar Ilan University, Weizmann Canada and Technion Canada help raise money for Israeli universities. And the sums raised are astounding. Last month Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams gave $135 million ($US 100 million) to Ben-Gurion University at a Canadian Friends of Ben-Gurion University gala. According to the 2021 report Who Gives and Who Gets: The Beneficiaries of Private Foundation Philanthropy, the single top recipient of private Canadian foundations between 2014 and 2018 was Israel’s Technion, which received $89 million.
In other words, Canadians are subsidizing universities with extensive ties to a genocidal force. Beyond that, the registered Canadian charities often instigate initiatives specifically to strengthen the Israeli military. As I detail here and here, Canadian Friends of Hebrew University and Technion Canada have instigated many IOF focused initiatives. Canadian Friends of the University of Haifa also funds an IDF training initiative. For its part, Canadian Friends of Haifa University is listed as a funder of an initiative that “form the backbone of the IDF’s elite training program”.
Yet according to CRA rules, registered charities are not allowed to support another country’s military. CRA guidelines state that “increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of Canada’s armed forces is charitable, but supporting the armed forces of another country is not.”
