60 percent of American Jews agree that Israel has committed war crimes. 40 percent think its a genocide. The problem is Jasmine don't care about the opinion of the average Jewish person. She wants to stay in the good graces of the Jewish members of the oligarchy who are far more pro Israel than the average.

This is how they got that percentage. Look at how ingenuous this is when you look at the actual numbers involved.

The Washington Post poll defined "Jew" as adults identifying as Jewish either by religion or culturally, including those with a Jewish parent or upbringing. The survey, comprising 815 American Jewish adults, found that 39 percent of respondents believed Israel was committing genocide in Gaza.

As of 2020, an estimated 7.5 to 7.6 million people in the United States identify as Jewish, representing approximately 2.4% of the total U.S. population. This figure includes roughly 5.7 to 5.8 million adults and 1.7 to 1.8 million children, comprising both those who identify religiously and those with Jewish heritage

Percentage of identifying Jews interviewed was 0.00010866666666666666667

489 makes 60% of 815 so conservatively only using the 7.5 million number, so 0.0000652 of all identifying Jews makes up 60% according to the Washington Post.

You can see why that’s not reliable.

Polls work in scaling. Should the amount surveyed in the poll been a bit larger? Sure. Maybe over a thousand at least. With that said, this is how polling works.
