But the majority also said they feel at least some sympathy for the Palestinian people.
Iraq dominated the headlines throughout the fall of 2002 and into the winter of 2003. Public opinion on the wisdom of war, however, stabilized relatively early and slightly in favor of war. Gallup found that from August 2002 through early March 2003 the share of Americans favoring war hovered in a relatively narrow range between a low of 52 percent and a high of 59 percent. By contrast, the share of the public opposed to war fluctuated between 35 percent and 43 percent.
Looks like Americans are even more happy with murdering people if its done by a puppet.
Americans don't believe in anything, half of them can barely read, if you asked them whether Israel was justified in butchering 800 children the poll would most likely flip with 70% saying no, if you asked whether Israel has a "right to self-defense" without any qualification, probably 90% would say yes
If you asked them if Israel has the right to genocide the Palestinians, 50% would say "not sure" and 50% would say no, but 40% would vote yes if it was a closed ballot referendum item
Americans are incoherent lotus eaters who think the height of political intellectualism is enlightened centrism with "remote drone bombing" characteristics
Country built on genocide supports genocide
While arguing with a co-worker about how what Israel is doing to oppress the Palestinians and how they have been pushed to this point, he asked me if I thought the Holocaust actually happened. It is beyond their comprehension that anyone would have any other opinion and it's easier to just assume I'm some weird conspiracy theorist.
Propagandists trotting out the fact that their propaganda worked, while fudging the results to make their propaganda look even more effective as a way to further their propaganda campaign.
That is a very open ended question so it shouldn't be that surprising that the results are like this. What part of the response are we talking about? Are we talking about whether it is justified for Israel to respond at all? Are we talking about whether the severity of their response is warranted? Who the fuck knows! Probably a lot more of the people who interpret it as the first would agree with the poll.
The propaganda is how this will be presented as 70% of Americans being pro-Israel, which this poll does not demonstrate.
every american is a legitemate target , good to know..
Fake polls. The fakest polls around. Nobody asked me.
New law making it illegal to answer no
Most Americans just look what’s on the news then get on with their day. The technical majority of public opinion alone doesn’t translate into political power when most people are generally apathetic beyond some performative politics to inject some engagement into their socially-starved lives.
In fact, it being only 70% (or even 80%) is likely a cause of concern for the state which used to enjoy near-unanimous support from the electorate in this issue in particular and calling Israel an apartheid state was something only kooks would say. Especially when pro-Palestinian and pro-ceasefire demonstrations have been met with state violence almost immediately (and so far look to be growing as the media consensus is cracking).
That's actually smaller than I would have thought given the propaganda environment

Yeah, it's fucking ridiculous how much the "if you don't absolutely support anything the Israeli government does, you're a nazi" rhetoric has taken hold. The actual nazis love it because it allows them to "hide their power level," while "undesirables" are eliminated.
Surprised its not even higher.
