A new poll shows half of U.S. adults believe Israel's war in Gaza has “gone too far." The poll by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found growing disapproval among Republicans and political independents for Israel's conduct of its military offensive in Gaza.
Most of the people that agree with Israel I've come across are very religious and can't comprehend that they are wrong because they are on the side of the good guys in the bible. It doesn't matter if you show them sources. They have spent their whole life closing their eyes to anything that threatens their worldview
I'm being sincere in that question, I don't have much information about the Bible. But how are they the good guys when they killed Jesus? Isn't that reason enough to think they are not the good guys?
Boomers are realizing what a pathetic and dystopian legacy they are leaving and want to do what their parents did... by sending the youth off to do what their parents did... but they aren't realizing that part because of the dementia.
In my country the majority of press is downplaying the situation. The report the facts somewhere in an article, but the headlines and tenor when you start reading make is sound different from what it is. "Israel defends itself" and always "To stop the Hamas terrorists".
Conservative leaders are quietly stoking the opposition to Israel because it hurts Biden. Every article on Fox News related to Israel is either unabashedly pro-Israel or all about how Biden is bungling the situation. It's careful to avoid direct criticism, but always references how many people are saying they don't approve of Israel and Biden. So even though Biden is doing what they would do, they get to criticize him for it.
Broadly, the poll shows support for Israel and the Biden administration’s handling of the situation ebbing slightly further across the board. The poll shows 31% of U.S. adults approve of Biden’s handling of the conflict, including just 46% of Democrats. That’s as an earlier spike in support for Israel following the Hamas attacks Oct. 7 sags.
46% of Dems is pretty much 50% of the country...
I doubt many Republicans think Israel has gone to far.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Half of U.S. adults say Israel’s 15-week-old military campaign in Gaza has “gone too far,” a finding driven mainly by growing disapproval among Republicans and political independents, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Melissa Morales, a 36-year-old political independent in Runnemede, New Jersey, says she finds herself watching videos and news from Gaza daily.
The U.S. has become increasingly isolated in its support of Israel as the Palestinian death toll rises past 27,000, with two-thirds of the victims women and children.

The poll of 1,152 adults was conducted using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, designed to represent the U.S. population.
