Majority in U.S. Now Disapprove of Israeli Action in Gaza
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel’s actions, while 36% approve.
Biden’s approval rating for his handling of the situation in the Middle East, at 27%, is his lowest among five issues tested in the survey. This is because far fewer Democrats (47%) approve of how he is handling the situation between the Israelis and Palestinians than approve of his handling of the economy, the environment, energy policy and foreign affairs, broadly. On those issues, no less than 66% of Democrats approve of Biden.
Only further contributing to Biden’s low rating on the Middle East situation, just 21% of independents and 16% of Republicans approve of his performance on the issue.
Wasn't there something about Americans and not getting representation? I recall that being a big deal at some point in America...
The DNC could have a slam dunk victory if only they'd run a candidate who wasn't pro-genocide
But all the party leaders take AIPAC money, they'd rather trump be president than a Dem who refuses to fund a genocide.
Don't blame voters for having standards, blame the DNC for caring more about how Israel can afford their genocide than preventing trump from getting a second term.

The DNC shares the blame along with our shitty election system that prevents third parties from being viable, and allows money to buy whichever politician they like, etc.
Even if the DNC dies and gets replaced with an actually leftist party, the new party will just rot from the inside out until we fix these things.
As an American, I've been anti Bibi/IDF for a while.
Here, 5 months ago:
Are most Americans Russian shills now?
The worst part is that I actually thought you were serious for a second (please tell me you're joking).
this comment made me feel the breadth of human emotion in one bite sized sentence, good one sksksksks
git em
So now will Biden do something?? Hmmm?
He is threatening to wag it
He did something!
U.S. signs off on more bombs, warplanes for Israel
The new arms packages include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, according to Pentagon and State Department officials familiar with the matter.
Genocide Biden will give more weapons to Israel.
Didn't think I'd see this day for decades.
Lots of people that just want Israelis to roll over and get slaughtered quietly.
You pro-genocide, Israeli apologists wankers are the worst.
"Booo hooo, the poor Israelis systematically displaced and subjugated an entire population and that population is fighting back? What nerve, the Palestinians should all die quietly so "settlers" can move into their homes."
You're really just the worst people. I'd say you're less than people but that'd make me just like the Israeli government.
Ah yes, the two options, genocide or be genocided.
Benji wants Hamas to exist so he can tighten his control over Israel. He knows perfectly well the way towards eliminating Hamas is by removing the motivation to join a terrorist group. He knows perfectly well forcing Palestine to be a shit hole and killing Palestinians with little regard for who is and is not actually Hamas will only encourage people to join and oppose the IDF. Israel needs an enemy for Benjamin to justify his hard right authoritarian policy at home, and he knows perfectly well how to keep them around.
You mean like living under an occupation in an apartheid state?
Hamas began twenty years into an Occupation enforced with direct and systemic violence, with the goal of ending the occupation.
What Is Hamas? - Council on Foreign Relations
What Does Hamas Actually Want? - NY Mag
Collective punishment has been a deliberate Israeli tactic for decades with the Dahiya doctrine. Violence such as suicide bombings and rockets escalated in response to Israeli enforcement of the occupation and apartheid.
Hamas Election - Snopes
But is Israel giving any reason to keep a peaceful behaviour in the region? They have more than a choice, and they chose the worst one yet.
So, do you think Hamas is going to disappear after leveling whole cities? Or thar they need a specific general to land succesful attacks? Neither of those. They need hatred and a general idea of an enemy. And they're giving them both.
Secondly, Hamas is a loosely organized movement with multiple faces, they can afford terrorist attacks without harming their reputation, but Israel is a democratic state, they can't do what Hamas did without harming their relationship with other countries on the long run. They cam burn bridges whereas Hamas never had such bridged in the first place.
They need to move better if they want to survive as a state and as a democratic entity. Think before you act. The trace of destruction that they're leaving behind may have been, in fact, forseen and understood by Hamas.
Way to strawman. Go big or go home, amirite???
The majority? Nobody asked me or anyone I know. Weird.
Check out the number of upvotes Linkerbaan and Juicy get compared to top weekly posts. Their pet issue doesn’t do so well.
Technically they should say something more like ‘poll of # estimates that majority in U.S…’
What do the majority of politicians now think? Because they've shown for the past 100 years that they'll disregard popular opinion in favor of their own every time the two conflict.
They don't care about the people; they care about the donors.
My dog is barking.. Can you stop blowing that whistle?
