Nearly half of Democrats disapprove of Biden’s response to the Israel-Hamas war, AP-NORC poll shows - eviltoast

The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.

    If we’re truely being honest then the majority of Americans think Isrealis are all descended from holocaust survivors surrounded by Bin Ladens who hate freedom.

    American education is extremely hyper focused on itself and itself exclusively. A US student only learns about other countries through the propaganda version of armed conflicts it personally participated in.

      As an American high school student in the early 90’s I was taught that Israel was a great friend to the USA and always being attacked just because other countries didn’t like Jews.

      I have a better understanding of things now but it does help me understand why Israel gets so much support from my and older generations.
