Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Palestinians in Gaza are facing an unprecedented wave of indiscriminate Israeli bombing, including white phosphorus munitions, that has targeted schools, universities, entire residential neighborhoods, telecommunications networks, markets, mosques, as well as ICRC health workers, UN staff and ambulances killing over 1,030 children.
44% : In harmony with international law, the BDS movement has consistently defended the right of the Palestinian people to resist Israel's military occupation and colonization "by all available means, including armed resistance,", as mandated by numerous UN resolutions, including UNGA Res. 37/43) and UNGA Res. 45/130, with strict adherence to the prohibition against "targeting non-combatants".
42% : Israel's illegal 16-year blockade, aided by the US, Europe and the Egyptian regime, has turned Gaza into an "unliveable" zone, according to the United Nations, where the healthcare system is near collapse; almost all the water is undrinkable; around 60% of children are anaemic; and many children suffer from stunted growth due to malnutrition.
