In poll, 70% of New Yorkers say anti-Israel campus protests ‘went too far’
|
[IsraelTimes] Clear majorities of respondents say they back peaceful pro-Palestinian demonstrations and ‘an immediate ceasefire,’ but 61% feel the protests ‘crossed the line into antisemitism’.
| Such a comfort to see it demonstrated that the screaming mobs are a minority, not the majority… nor even a plurality. |
Majorities of New Yorkers support peaceful student demonstrations
| …that’s the famous American freedom of speech thingy we’re so fond of — we may not like what you say, but as long as you say it peacefully we won’t fuss… |
for those suffering in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, but say recent campus pro-Paleostinian protests have "crossed the line into antisemitism," according to a poll released on Wednesday.
| And that’s where your right to free speech ends at the tip of my nose. |
The Siena College poll of nearly 1,200 registered voters in New York state, taken last week, also found that majorities of New Yorkers support a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas

war but believe the "protests went too far" and justified police action in shutting them down.
According to the poll, 72% of respondents "support students with passionate views peacefully demonstrating in support of those suffering in Gaza." Sixty-four percent say they "support an immediate ceasefire."
But 70% say "the protests went too far and I support the police being called in to shut them down." And 61% agreed with the statement, "Demonstrators seem to have forgotten that Hamas started this war by killing 1,200 people and taking over 200 hostages. Now it feels like these demonstrations have crossed the line into antisemitism."
Answers from New York City respondents did not differ significantly from the statewide results. The survey had a margin of error of 3.9%.
A different survey released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University found that 55% of Americans said they opposed "the student protests being held on college and university campuses responding to Israel’s actions in Gaza?" while 36% said they supported the protests. That survey did not ask respondents for more detailed responses about the protests.
Among Jewish respondents, 87% said the protests crossed the line into antisemitism, although the survey polled a relatively small sample size of roughly 130 Jews. A majority of Jews oppose a ceasefire, and Jewish respondents were divided on whether to support students peacefully protesting suffering in Gaza.
A majority or plurality of every political, racial and income group surveyed agreed that the protests had featured antisemitism, although liberal, Black and Latino voters, and those with lower incomes, were more split.
Nearly half of respondents, 48%, supported $26 billion in funding for Israel including $9 billion for humanitarian aid in Gaza, while 33% opposed.
