Most US adults support IDF Gaza offensive to beat Hamas, free hostages - poll

[toomuchtime_]

Most (67%) Americans believe Israel should continue its military efforts in Gaza until Hamas is defeated and the hostages are released, according to a new HarrisX poll commissioned by the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CoP).

The survey also found that more than eight in ten Americans expressed their belief that Israel has a responsibility to protect its citizens and strike back when necessary.

The survey, conducted online from November 11-12 among 1,331 US adults, revealed significant support for Israel's efforts to combat Hamas and highlighted a condemnation of the terrorist organization.

Overwhelming support for Israel's actions​

A remarkable 82% of respondents expressed their support for Israel sending troops into Gaza to attempt to free hostages and eliminate the Hamas terrorist threat. This sentiment reflects a strong belief among Americans in Israel's right to protect its citizens and take action against those who pose a threat to its security.

A significant majority of Americans held Hamas responsible for the humanitarian challenges in Gaza. Eight in 10 respondents believed that Hamas is primarily responsible for putting civilians in Gaza in harm's way, and a staggering 77% of Americans believed that Hamas triggered the humanitarian crisis in the region. Additionally, 83% of respondents felt that Hamas is using the Palestinian people as human shields, further underlining the condemnation of the group's tactics.

Clearly, the mobs rampaging through the streets of American cities, demanding the destruction of Israel with chants of Free Palestine or From the River to the Sea represent a very small minority of Americans.

That’s actually not true. Barely more than half of Democrats support it, while two-thirds of Republicans do.

That is because young people are mostly Democrat, and the older one gets, the more likely one is to become Republican. Parallel to that, more young people side against Israel because the leftist schools and teachers have indoctrinated them that way.

May Gd be with Yisrael, and help them defeat the enemy.

Great to see how many millions support the Freedom Fighters as they battle against a country that more and more looks to be in the hands of clinically very unwell people .
Israel and US increasingly look to be Pariah States .
Their downfall seems guaranteed unless the decent ones among them can exert a huge influence .

Stop whining and admit that Americans recognize pure evil when they see it.

Recognizing that war comes with very tragic consequences doesn’t make those consequences any less tragic.

Of course we’d all prefer that such things be avoided. Christian or Jewish babies are not different than Muslim babies. That war leads to any of their deaths or suffering is horrendous.

But for all of those who “demand” [sic] that Israel’s defense forces unilaterally cease their military actions in Gaza, the question must be asked: what alternative exists which not only helps save the (more or less) “innocent” Palestinian civilians BUT ALSO allows Israel to effectively eliminate Hamas?

Hamas isn’t likely to alter its cowardly and scumbag behavior of using the civilians of Gaza as human shields. That being the case, what is Israel supposed to do? Simply acquiesce in allowing Hamas free rein to continue its terrorist behaviors against Israeli civilians?

How stupid is that?

Huh? Not all Americans do. And speaking up against it is not “whining.”

Muslim savages who stick Jewish babies in ovens to cook them to death are not “Freedom Fighters,“ and anyone who calls them that is driven by Jew-hatred.

Yeah, not all Americans. Commies, radical Leftists, brainwashed kids, ignorant illiterate morons, Arab / Muslim Americans who hate America (and those who are somehow associated with them), neo Nazis, antisemites, those suffering from one or more mental illness, racists, etc.

Otherwise vast majority of Americans stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel. And I’m talking about the public not the politicians, who also overwhelmingly support Israel as well.

Yes. The anti-Israel crowd want to give the impression that most of Americans agree with them, but the majority stand with Israel.

Also, sorry I meant to respond to that nut job Luiza. But you are 100% correct, Americans overwhelmingly support Israel.

The Poll is asking a loaded question. How about?

Do the American people support the Zionist's military slaughtering Palestinian civilians in the thousands?

Does the rest of the world support it?

America supports the Israelis resisting Hama butchery, yes.

It always will.

Fair-minded people, not brainwashed by leftism or influenced by antisemitism, know that Israel has tried to limit the deaths of Palestinians - the majority of whom support the Jew-hating HAMAS terrorists.

Is the slaughter of 20,000 palestinian civilians that includes 7000 children meet your Americans standard of trying to limit deaths?

I think you've just nailed it down for yourself Lisa. It's pretty much what I've expected of you for a long time on this board!

The Palestinians have earned their rewards.

Yes. Had it been carpet bombing that is a small number.

Now given that....your sources of the numbers??? The enemy??? Why should I believe you?

And all 20,000 are the fault of HAMAS and their barbaric torture of innocent Jews. You keep hoping the world will forget the children the Muslim monsters set on fire, decapitated, or stuck in ovens and baked to death.

You’re shrieking about “Zionists!” reveals your antisemitism.
