Poll: American Support for Israel Soars After Hamas Slaughter
American Support for Israel Surges Following Hamas Attack
A recent poll has revealed a significant increase in American support for Israel in the wake of a brutal assault by Hamas, which claimed the lives of nearly 1,500 Israelis. The poll conducted by the Senate Opportunity Fund, a conservative nonprofit, shows that nearly 70 percent of respondents from October 11 to 13 expressed their support for Israel in its latest conflict with Hamas.
Strong Bipartisan Support
What’s particularly noteworthy is that this surge in support cuts across political lines. The poll reveals that 62 percent of self-described liberals and 77 percent of conservatives stand behind Israel. This marks a significant increase compared to the previous conflict in June 2021, where only 43 percent of respondents expressed support for Israel, with just 30 percent of liberals backing the Jewish state.
Americans Stand Against Hamas’s War Crimes
The poll findings suggest that the widely reported war crimes committed by Hamas, including acts of rape, murder, and torture against women and children, have played a crucial role in rallying the American public behind Israel. Despite calls from far-left Democrats, including members of the Squad, to halt Israel’s war efforts and accusations of targeting innocent Palestinians, the majority of Americans are not swayed by this rhetoric.
Support for Aid to Israel and Opposition to Funding for Iran
The poll also reveals that 68 percent of respondents support Congress voting for aid to Israel in the form of funding and military equipment. This stands in contrast to Democratic lawmakers like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, who have called for an end to such aid. Both liberal and conservative voters are united in their support for military aid to Israel, with 70 percent of liberals and 73 percent of conservatives agreeing that Congress should supply Israel with military equipment.
Furthermore, a majority of respondents, 69 percent, believe that the Biden administration should freeze the $6 billion transaction intended for the Iranian regime. This is due to Tehran’s direct support for Hamas and its ongoing war against Israel. Interestingly, this sentiment is shared by 57 percent of liberal voters and a staggering 81 percent of conservatives.
Call for Increased Sanctions on Iran
Additionally, 61 percent of voters are in favor of imposing increased sanctions on Iran, particularly targeting its illicit oil trade. Since President Biden took office, Iran has generated approximately $80 billion in revenue from these illicit sales. The majority of Americans believe that stronger measures should be taken to curb Iran’s support for extremist activities.
How many respondents consider Israel’s response to be justified?
The increased support for Israel is a clear indication of Americans’ condemnation of the Hamas attack and their recognition of Hamas’s war crimes. The poll shows that 81 percent of respondents believe that Hamas’s actions constitute war crimes, with 91 percent expressing concern for the safety of Israeli civilians. Hamas’s deliberate targeting of innocent civilians, including women and children, has shocked the American public and solidified their stance in support of Israel’s right to defend itself. The poll reveals that 85 percent of respondents consider Israel’s response to be justified, underscoring their understanding of Israel’s need to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks. The surge in support for Israel also reflects the strong and enduring partnership between the United States and Israel. Historically, the United States has been a staunch ally of Israel, providing military aid and political support. The strong bipartisan support demonstrated in this poll further solidifies the commitment of the American people to stand by Israel’s side in its fight against terrorism. It is worth noting that this surge in support comes at a crucial time for Israel, as it continues to face threats from not only Hamas but also from other regional adversaries. The American people’s unwavering support serves as a powerful message to Israel’s enemies that aggression and terrorism will not be tolerated. As the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, it is important for the international community to unequivocally condemn Hamas’s actions and support Israel’s right to self-defense. The surge in American support for Israel sends a clear message to the world that terrorism and violence will not be tolerated, and that the international community must stand together to ensure the safety and security of innocent civilians. In conclusion, the recent poll highlighting the surge in American support for Israel following the Hamas attack demonstrates the unity and solidarity of the American people in condemning terrorism and supporting a strong and enduring U.S.-Israel partnership. This increase in support across political lines further emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the rights of innocent civilians and holding accountable those who commit war crimes. As the conflict continues, it is crucial for the international community to rally behind Israel and work towards a peaceful resolution that ensures the safety and security of both Israelis and Palestinians.Affirmation of U.S.-Israel Partnership
