Poll shows 54% of US Jews have favorable view of Israeli government, 58% of all Americans support Israel vs Hamas
|
[IsraelTimes] According to the new Pew poll, a majority of Jewish adults — 54 percent — hold a favorable view of Israel’s government versus 44% with an unfavorable view.
Among all Americans, the poll says 41% have a favorable view and 51% unfavorable.
The survey was conducted last month, but its release comes days after US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 48.29324 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
gave a speech calling on Israel to hold new elections to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, saying he was speaking for "so many mainstream Jewish Americans — a silent majority."
Poll: Most Americans say Israel has valid reasons to fight Hamas; young Americans far less supportive
[IsraelTimes] A majority of Americans — 58 percent — believe that Israel has valid reasons for fighting Hamas, while just under four in ten US adults say Israel’s prosecution of the war has been acceptable, a new survey from the Pew Research Center finds.
The 34% of respondents who say Israel’s conduct in the war is unacceptable is less than the 38% who support how the Jewish state has fought Hamas, while the remaining 26% don’t know.
Just 22% of respondents say Hamas’s reasons for fighting Israel are valid and just 5% of them say the terror group’s October 7 attack was acceptable.
Respondents under 30 years old are significantly more critical of how Israel is fighting than older Americans, with 46% describing it as unacceptable, including 32% who call it completely unacceptable.
These younger respondents are similarly likely to say that Israel (38%) and Hamas (34%) have valid reasons for fighting.
Three in ten Americans (31%) sympathize entirely or mostly with the Israeli people, while 16% sympathize entirely or mostly with the Palestinian people and 26% say they sympathize with both sides equally. Another 18% are unsure where their sympathies lie.
Eight percent of Americans have a favorable view of Hamas, compared to 84% who have an unfavorable view. Twenty-three percent of respondents have a favorable view of the Palestinian Authority.
Twice as many Americans favor the US providing humanitarian aid to Gaza as those who oppose it, 50% vs. 19%.
Thirty-six percent are in favor of the US providing Israel with military aid, while 34% oppose it.
Only 20% want the US to play a major role in diplomatically resolving the conflict, with another 35% supporting a minor role.
Democratic respondents are divided over whether US President Joe Biden is tilting too far toward Israel’s position, with 34% saying he has, compared to 29% who say he’s striking the right balance and 3% who say he’s favoring the Palestinian position too much.
A plurality of Americans (40%) say the best outcome to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be a two-state solution.
Thirty-three percent of Republicans say they support a two-state solution, compared to 38% of Democrats. Support for a single state governed by Israel is up from 18% to 26% among Republicans.
Forty-one percent of respondents say they have a favorable view of the current Israeli government — down from 47% in 2022. The number who expressed “very unfavorable views” has doubled in that same period.
Nearly 13,000 US adults participated in the survey that took place last month. It has a margin of error of 1.5%.
