I can only find articles about the poll, but not the poll itself. Anyone got more luck?
Edit: I honestly think this shouldn't be posted without a solid source. It could be fake and would serve to 1) make the Israelian government able to say "look, we have that much support from the public to continue the genocide" and 2) further the divide of the actual people living in the whole region regardless of made up borders.

Don't have time to go through the translation, but the source is here
https://www.haaretz.co.il/magazine/2025-05-22/ty-article-magazine/.highlight/00000196-f3a3-d6d3-ab9e-f3bbf6070000
I saw that linked as well but isn't that an article too?
The original poll was supossedly requested by Penn state university and done by a company named "Geocartography".
I found this
https://theconversation.com/in-israel-calls-for-genocide-have-migrated-from-the-margins-to-the-mainstream-250010
This article is by the person who commissioned the poll and contains a link to what I assume the text of the poll was.
It survey 1000 respondents, but I'm not sure if hard any checks built it to check how representative. It doesn't look like it's going to be peer reviewed, it was commissioned by a history professor. But he makes some interesting arguments in the above article.
But did it ever capture headlines...
@Duke_Nukem_1990
Did you create this profile just to post some garbage comments about this?
Yes, I waited almost a year and 1.2k comments to ask for proof on your post 🙄
Weird, that you would react so hostile.
@Duke_Nukem_1990 I don't know, because any idiot with half a brain could have made a simple search before posting such garbage comment and the profile of you I see only shows 2 comments, maybe because of your shitty pod.
I am just sick of idiots who sit on their ass questioning everything that doesn't fit their pre-defined view of the world.
that's all.
I did search for the source and didn't find it and obviously you are unable to produce one either.
Right, I should instead just believe a random twitter post from a random person. Is that how you usually form your opinions?
@Duke_Nukem_1990
Didn't the reply post with The Conversation, plus Farhad's citation of the original Haaretz article satisfy you?
Do you really think that all of those publications and organizations are distorting something? Or, as Farhad thinks, are you just being as asshole?
@TheDoozer @faab64
For what it's worth, I see a screenshot of a post on X from a guy about a highly contraversial subject, and I am immediately skeptical. Somebody asking for a source, and not just another person talking about the source, is very reasonable.
Getting immediately defensive about being asked for the source material makes me immediately question the integrity of the OP and much more inclined to believe it's misinformation. Any reasonable person these days knows that even without lying, polling information can be distorted to say the exact opposite of what the poll actually suggests. "Do your own research" is also the motto of misinformation distributors.
I'm very much against the Zionists, and am fully in support of Palestine against genocide, to be clear. But this whole interaction makes you seem disingenuous.
@TheDoozer
Another troll to block 🚫
@faab64
@TheDoozer at least 4 ppl posted the link to the source.
But the keyboard warriors of the freaking Lemmy don't feel it's enough.
What a shocker
Nobody posted a source, only articles talking about the poll. Why are you so dishonest?
@Duke_Nukem_1990
You really are an asshole.
Just get loste
