Poll: 75% Believe US Should Fund Military Aid to Israel
Americans Overwhelmingly Support Military Aid to Israel in Conflict with Hamas
A recent poll conducted by CNBC reveals that the majority of Americans strongly believe that the United States should provide military aid to Israel as its conflict with Hamas escalates.
The survey, conducted in response to Hamas’s unexpected attack on Israel, shows that a staggering 74 percent of Americans consider it either somewhat or very important for the United States to financially support Israel’s military efforts.
While only 39 percent of respondents believe that U.S. policy should favor Israelis over Palestinians, this figure represents a significant increase in support for Israel since the 2014 war with Hamas, as reported by CNBC.
The survey indicates that 39% of the public believes that the U.S. government should prioritize Israelis over Palestinians in their conflict, compared to 34% after the 2014 Gaza war.
Furthermore, 36% of respondents believe that the U.S. should treat both sides equally, compared to 53% in 2014. The percentage of undecided individuals has risen from 9% in 2014 to 19%, suggesting that public opinion remains fluid and actions from either side could still influence it. (These previous results are from an NBC News survey conducted in August 2014, one month after the Gaza war.)
Meanwhile, a significant 74% of the public believes that it is either somewhat or very important for the U.S. government to provide military aid to Israel.
What percentage of Americans consider it important for the United States to financially support Israel’s military efforts?
The recent escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas has sparked intense debate and discussion both within the United States and around the world. While opinions on the conflict differ, a recent poll conducted by CNBC reveals that the majority of Americans overwhelmingly support military aid to Israel.
According to the survey, a staggering 74 percent of Americans consider it either somewhat or very important for the United States to financially support Israel’s military efforts. This support is seen as crucial in ensuring Israel’s security and defense as it faces ongoing attacks from Hamas.
It is interesting to note that while a significant majority supports military aid to Israel, only 39 percent of respondents believe that U.S. policy should favor Israelis over Palestinians. This figure represents a significant increase in support for Israel since the 2014 war with Hamas.
In a similar survey conducted by NBC News in August 2014, one month after the Gaza war, only 34 percent of respondents believed that the U.S. government should prioritize Israelis over Palestinians. Additionally, 53 percent of respondents believed that the U.S. should treat both sides equally. However, in the recent CNBC poll, only 36 percent of respondents supported this view. The percentage of undecided individuals has also risen from 9 percent in 2014 to 19 percent, indicating that public opinion remains fluid and can be influenced by actions from either side.
The strong support for military aid to Israel in the face of growing tensions reflects the American public’s concern for Israel’s security in a volatile region. There is a belief that assisting Israel in its efforts to defend itself is not only in line with U.S. interests but also crucial for maintaining stability in the Middle East.
Given the history of U.S.-Israel relations and the long-standing alliance between the two countries, it is not surprising that military aid to Israel garners such broad support. The United States has been a key ally and supporter of Israel, providing significant military and financial assistance for many decades. The latest poll results demonstrate that this support is still steadfast among the American public.
However, it is important to note that public opinion can shift, especially in the context of ongoing conflicts and changing dynamics. Actions and behaviors from both Israel and Hamas can potentially influence public sentiment. As the situation continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how American attitudes towards the conflict will develop.
In conclusion, the recent poll conducted by CNBC indicates that the majority of Americans support military aid to Israel. While the support for Israel remains strong, the issue of U.S. policy favoring Israelis over Palestinians is still a matter of contention. As the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, it is essential to monitor public opinion and remain attentive to any changes that may occur.
