A strong majority of American voters believe that Israel should move forward with a military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah to finish the war against Hamas, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll published on Monday.
Survey respondents responded to a prompt asking, "Should Israel move forward with an operation in Rafah to finish the war with Hamas, doing its best to avoid civilian casualties even though there will be casualties, or should it back off now and allow Hamas to continue running Gaza?"
While willingness to support an Israeli operation in Rafah correlated with age (older respondents viewing such an operation more favorably than younger respondents,) even among the youngest respondents, those aged 18-24, 57% said Israel should move forward with a Rafah operation.
Still more evidence the nutjobs having temper tantrums on college campuses do not represent the American people.
