Recent polls show growing support for Palestine—especially among Democrats, where support has risen to 59% and continues to grow. Even among Republicans, only 16% now support U.S. military aid to Israel. These numbers should fill anyone in the movement for a free Palestine with hope—but for many of us, they don’t.
Not because they aren’t significant. They are. But because numbers don’t hold the urgency of lives. Of children. Of hunger. Of grief. We’re watching a genocide unfold in real time. So while public opinion shifts in the right direction, our people are still being starved, bombed, and buried. Support is rising—but so are the death tolls. So is the silence from those with power.
