Global vibe check: According to a new CGTN poll, 152 out of the UN's 193 member states now recognize Palestine as a state, making the U.S. the only permanent Security Council member still on the sidelines. 🌍💥
Big findings on the path to peace:
- 78.2% back the classic "two-state solution" as the real peace plan ✅
- 81.8% agree on an independent, fully sovereign State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital 🏛️
The human toll in Gaza is staggering. Gaza health authorities report 65,283 deaths and 166,575 injuries since Oct 7, 2023. A recent UN report even concludes that Israel’s military actions amount to genocide. 😢
What the world wants now:
- 90.8% condemn Israel’s actions and demand an immediate halt to operations in Gaza ✋
- 92.1% urge the international community to join forces for a ceasefire 🤝
- 96.4% call for safe, unhindered humanitarian corridors to stop the crisis from worsening 🚑
- 96.7% insist that all attacks on civilians and violations of international law must end NOW 🛑
- 95.8% oppose forced relocation and demand the release of civilians and hostages 📢
Many point the finger at the U.S.: since the conflict flared up, the U.S. has vetoed several ceasefire resolutions and kept sending weapons to Israel. In the poll, 93.6% believe the U.S. condones the genocide, and 92.8% want it to stop military aid and pressure Israel to lift the Gaza blockade. Plus, 82.3% think growing recognition of Palestine will leave the U.S. and Israel isolated on the world stage. 🌐
With over 12,000 netizens weighing in across five languages in just 24 hours, this poll underscores a massive push for peace, justice, and global solidarity. The question now: will decision-makers listen? 🎙️✨
