On Oct. 14, Mr. Austin announced the deployment of two U.S. \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-war-biden-defends-palestinians-after-pledging-unconditional-support-for-israel\/\" title=\"Biden stands up for Palestinians amidst Israel war, despite prior support for Israel.\">carrier strike\u200c groups<\/a> to the Eastern Mediterranean. Furthermore, President\u200d Biden\u2063 has requested $14 billion for Israel in a $106 billion package that also includes Ukraine and Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the hospital blast in Gaza, which U.S. intelligence suggests\u2064 was likely caused by Hamas, 68\u2064 percent of respondents believe it was a terrorist \u2062rocket that \u2062went off course. They view Hamas&#8217; initial claim that Israel bombed the hospital as propaganda.

In response,\u2064 Israeli forces launched \u200bretaliatory assaults, leading to a state\u200c of war. The conflict has\u2062 claimed the lives of over 4,000 individuals, including 32 Americans.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What percentage of respondents in the\u200c poll believe that Hamas intentionally \u2062used a hospital \u2064as a base for military operations?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Believe\u200b that the United \u2063States should provide \u200dmilitary aid to \u2064Israel in its fight\u2063 against Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>The poll also addressed the recent Gaza hospital blast, which resulted in multiple casualties and raised concerns about the targeting of civilian infrastructure. Forty-eight percent of respondents believed that Hamas intentionally used the hospital as a base for military operations, while 52 percent believed it was a \u2062mistake on Israel&#8217;s part.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the poll\u2063 highlights the strong support that the majority of Americans have for Israel in the ongoing conflict\u2064 with Hamas. It\u2062 also underscores the belief among Americans\u2063 that Hamas is a \u200dterrorist group responsible for targeting civilians and that Israel has the \u200bright to defend\u2063 itself. The poll results reflect\u2064 a \u2062majority sentiment that Hamas&#8217; actions are driven by anti-Semitism\u200c and a desire to provoke instability in the region.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that this poll represents \u200dthe views of the American population as a whole and does not \u200breflect individual opinions. However, it provides valuable insights into the prevailing attitudes and opinions\u200d surrounding the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>As\u2063 the conflict continues, public opinion will likely continue to evolve, and it is essential \u200cto\u200c monitor and understand these dynamics to foster productive discussions \u200band work towards a peaceful \u2064resolution in the\u2063 region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent poll by the Harris Poll and HarrisX, released on Oct. 19, reveals that most Americans back Israel and reject Hamas in the ongoing war.
