The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.
I live in a very Jewish area, with the Halocost Museum 20 minutes away, my brother in-law is Jewish, I’m friends with his whole family and a bunch of others. Nobody supports Israel, and it’s a common topic of conversation. I don’t know anyone either in local politics that supports Israel, and I am active there. Israel IS the problem - their horrible treatment of Palestinians resulted in Hamas rising to power. they’re continued unrelenting land grabs and abuse have continue to strengthen Hamas. They want to continue to steal land, and if they make peace they won’t be able to. If You total the body count over the last decade there are far far more dead Palestinians than there are Israelis.
Even now, with every civilian they kill in their response, they create four or eight more terrorists. Israel’s government is on the fast track to authoritarianism with the anti-democratic movement there that is actually worse than the GOP here. We should not be giving them a dime. We don’t owe them anything, and we’re broke. We’ve giving them more than enough.
The Democrats are on the wrong side of history for every day they don’t condemn the atrocities Israel is committing.
Poll in article says otherwise. Supporting Israel is wildly popular.
I hate the government of Israel.
I wish you were right.
Poll in article != definitive
Even my right wing father-in-law is against Israel, and he’s the last person I expected to be speaking up about it. I would say the old people that aren’t clued in via the internet still support Israel, everyone else that is aware of their terrorism, nope.
