Showing Original Post only (View all)Majority of Americans now oppose Israeli action in Gaza: Gallup poll [View all]
A majority of Americans disapprove of Israel's military actions in Gaza, in a stark shift since last fall, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.
Among Republicans, the percentage who approve of Israel's actions has dropped from 71% in November to 64% in March, the poll found.
The dip is even sharper among among Democrats. Fewer than one in five (18%) say they approve of Israel's actions. That's down from 36% in November.
Among people who identify as independents, the approval rating has dropped from 47% to 29% in the span.

By your logic, they must have been armed--- or the IDF wouldn't have killed them--- right?

No one is denying Israel's right to defend itself. But come on, over-retaliation is over-retaliation.

1200 to 1700 now. How did that increase happen? That's still a ratio of 18 Palestinians killed to 1 Israeli.

Humanitarian aid is needed, not military. There is no "getting even" despite this being what some people want.

You don't really think the Palestinians will suddenly be peaceful if Netanyahu isn't in power, do you?
