"A Quinnipiac Poll found that 77% of Democrats agreed that Israel is committing genocide. An NBC poll found that registered Democrats were more sympathetic toward Palestinians than Israelis by a margin of 67-17%."
"The party's resolutions committee proceeded to quickly discard a pair of resolutions critical of Israel, which urged an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territory."
