Six in 10 voters (60 percent) oppose the United States sending more military aid to Israel Quinnipiac

It appears Americans are beginning to see the slaughter for what it is.

No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people. Albert Camus


https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3929


In today's poll, Democrats (75 - 18 percent) and independents (66 - 27 percent) oppose sending more military aid to Israel for their efforts in the war with Hamas, while Republicans (56 - 37 percent) support it.

Voters were asked whether their sympathies lie more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians based on what they know about the situation in the Middle East. Thirty-seven percent of voters say the Palestinians, while 36 percent say the Israelis, and 27 percent did not offer an opinion.
This is an all-time high for the Palestinians and an all-time low for the Israelis since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking this question of registered voters in December 2001.

Fifty percent of voters think Israel is committing genocide based on what they know about the situation in Gaza, while 35 percent do not think Israel is committing genocide and 15 percent did not offer an opinion

Per Gallup poll a few weeks ago.

Why is leadership so out of touch? Rhetorical question of course. The real question is what to do about it!

All Palestinians. Constituents not happy. The party needs to go with the

polls when it comes to voting about money for Israel. HELLO Dem party
-20 million Dems stayed home in last election- main reason given was genocide- SO - why are Dem Congress people going to Israel? Is no one paying attention to polls???
Because of this we have one of the most hated men in the world running our country. If you go online - no one wants to visit our country. Kids on Reddit telling people from other countries to not visit as America sucks.


“These 15 Democrats just took an AIPAC-funded vacation to Israel.

They met with Israeli president Herzog whose call to kill all Palestinians in Gaza is included in the genocide case against Israel currently before the ICJ.”

He’d just been to Israel on AIPAC’s dime.

Protesters call out Wesley Bell at his town hall for blaming Palestinians for Gaza’s genocide

Constituents not happy with their Congressman taking money from AIPAC and getting a free trip to Israel in the middle of a genocide
