US Public Opinion on Israel Complex and Evolving
Americans Express Sympathy for Israelis, but Views on Gaza Campaign Mixed
A recent poll conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that half of US adults believe that Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza has gone too far.
American Attitudes Towards Israel
The poll, which surveyed 1,005 US adults, also revealed that a majority of Americans (63%) express deep sympathy for the Israeli people. However, there is a significant divide in opinions on the Gaza campaign, with half of respondents saying it has gone too far and 37% saying it has not gone far enough.
US Support for Israel
Despite the mixed views on the Gaza campaign, two-thirds of Americans (66%) say that the United States should publicly support Israel in the conflict. This level of support is consistent with previous polls and reflects the long-standing US commitment to Israel's security.
Conclusion
The American public's attitudes towards Israel are complex and evolving. While there is broad sympathy for the Israeli people, opinions on the Gaza campaign are divided. Nonetheless, the United States remains a staunch ally of Israel, and the American public continues to support Israel's right to self-defense.
