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.

    Or they could have been brutally honest and said “more than half of democrats approve of enabling genocide”.

    And before you say “but Trump and the Republicans are much worse”, yes that’s obviously true but that’s besides the point.

      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.
