Majority of Americans Back Israel as Democrats Split

“U.S. public opinion remains favorable toward Israel in its war with Hamas, but just over a third of Americans say they are equally sympathetic to both the Israeli and Palestinian people,” a new Wall Street Journal poll finds.

“Fifty-five percent of those polled said they believe Israel is taking the military action needed to defend itself and prevent another attack by Hamas, compared with 25% of respondents who said Israel’s military action is disproportionate and going too far.”
