The \u2062poll reveals that 62 percent of self-described\u2064 liberals and 77 percent of conservatives \u200dstand behind Israel. This\u200b marks a significant \u200cincrease compared to the previous conflict in June 2021, where only 43 percent of respondents expressed support for Israel, with just 30 percent of \u200bliberals backing the Jewish state.<\/p>\n<h3>Americans Stand Against Hamas&#8217;s War Crimes<\/h3>\n<p>The poll findings suggest that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-american-support-for-israel-soars-after-hamas-slaughter\/\" title=\"Poll: American Support for Israel Soars After Hamas Slaughter\">widely reported war crimes committed<\/a> by Hamas, including acts of\u200b rape, murder, and torture against women \u200dand children, have played \u2062a crucial role in rallying the\u200d American public behind \u200cIsrael. \u200bDespite calls \u2063from far-left Democrats, including members\u2062 of \u200cthe Squad, to \u200dhalt\u200b Israel&#8217;s war efforts and accusations of targeting innocent Palestinians, the majority of Americans are \u2063not swayed by this rhetoric.<\/p>\n<h3>Support for Aid to Israel and Opposition to Funding for Iran<\/h3>\n<p>The poll also\u2063 reveals that 68 percent\u2062 of respondents support Congress\u2062 voting for aid to Israel\u200c in the form of funding and military equipment. This stands in contrast to Democratic lawmakers like Rashida\u2062 Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, who have called for an end to such aid. Both liberal and\u200b conservative voters are united in their support for military aid to Israel, with 70 percent of liberals and 73 percent of conservatives agreeing that Congress should supply Israel with military \u200bequipment.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, a majority of respondents, 69 percent, believe that the Biden administration should freeze the $6 billion transaction intended for the Iranian \u200cregime. This is due to Tehran&#8217;s direct support for Hamas and its ongoing war against Israel. Interestingly, this sentiment is shared by 57 percent of liberal \u200dvoters and a staggering 81 percent of conservatives.<\/p>\n<h3>Call for Increased Sanctions on Iran<\/h3>\n<p>Additionally, 61 percent of voters are in favor\u200d of imposing increased sanctions on Iran, particularly targeting its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-iranian-missile-strikes-israeli-ship\/\" title=\"Report: Iranian Missile Strikes Israeli Ship\">illicit oil trade<\/a>. Since President Biden\u200b took office, Iran has generated approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/iran-has-made-80-billion-in-illicit-oil-sales-since-biden-took-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$80 billion<\/a> in\u200b revenue from these illicit sales. The majority of Americans believe that stronger measures should be taken to curb Iran&#8217;s support for extremist activities.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How many respondents consider Israel&#8217;s response to \u2062be justified?<\/h2>\n<p><span> <\/h3>\n<p>The increased support for \u2062Israel is a\u2064 clear indication of Americans&#8217; condemnation of the Hamas attack and their recognition of Hamas&#8217;s war crimes. The poll shows that 81 percent of\u200c respondents\u200b believe that Hamas&#8217;s actions constitute \u2062war \u200ccrimes, with 91 percent expressing concern for the safety of Israeli civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas&#8217;s \u200bdeliberate targeting of innocent civilians, including women and \u2062children, has shocked the American public and \u200csolidified their stance in support of Israel&#8217;s right to defend \u200bitself. The poll \u200dreveals that 85 percent of respondents consider Israel&#8217;s response to be justified, underscoring their understanding of Israel&#8217;s need to protect its citizens \u2064from terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<h3>Affirmation of U.S.-Israel Partnership<\/h3>\n<p>The \u2062surge in support for\u2064 Israel also reflects the strong and enduring\u2063 partnership between the United \u2063States and Israel. Historically, the United States has been \u2062a staunch ally of Israel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinese-media-russia-is-too-weak-for-a-confrontation-with-nato\/\" title=\"Chinese Media: Russia Is Too Weak for a 'Confrontation with NATO'\">providing military aid<\/a> and political\u200b support. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmakers-debate-future-infrastructure-bills\/\" title=\"Lawmakers debate future infrastructure bills\">strong bipartisan support<\/a> demonstrated in this\u2063 poll further solidifies the commitment of the American people to stand by Israel&#8217;s side in \u200cits fight against\u200d terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth \u200cnoting\u200c that this surge in support comes at a crucial time for Israel, as\u200d it continues\u2062 to face threats from not only Hamas but also from other regional \u2063adversaries. The\u2064 American people&#8217;s unwavering\u200c support serves as a powerful message to Israel&#8217;s enemies that\u200d aggression and terrorism will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>As the conflict \u200dbetween Israel and Hamas continues, \u200bit is \u200dimportant for the international community to unequivocally condemn Hamas&#8217;s actions and support Israel&#8217;s right \u200cto \u2064self-defense. The surge in \u200cAmerican support for Israel sends a clear message to the world that terrorism and violence will\u200d not be tolerated, and that the international community must stand together to ensure \u200dthe safety and security of innocent civilians.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the recent poll highlighting the surge in \u2064American support for\u200d Israel following the Hamas attack demonstrates the unity and solidarity of\u2062 the American people\u2062 in condemning terrorism and supporting a strong \u200dand enduring U.S.-Israel \u200cpartnership. \u2064This increase in support across political lines further emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the\u200d rights \u2063of \u2064innocent civilians and holding \u200daccountable those who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rutgers-hosted-professor-who-compared-israel-supporters-to-rats-as-university-struggles-with-israel-palestine-pr-nightmare\/\" title=\"Rutgers Hosted Professor Who Compared Israel Supporters To Rats As University Struggles With Israel-Palestine PR Nightmare\">commit war crimes<\/a>.
