A new poll from Reuters/Ipsos found that the majority of Americans support the idea of a ceasefire in Gaza, a position that has been rejected by the Biden administration.
About 68% of respondents agreed with the statement “Israel should call a ceasefire and try to negotiate,” including three-quarters of Democrats and half of Republicans.
The poll is the second in recent weeks to show the majority of Americans support a Gaza ceasefire. A poll published by Data for Progress on October 20 found that 66% of respondents agreed with the idea of the US calling for a ceasefire and using its leverage to prevent further violence.
The Biden administration has called for “pauses” in the fighting but has refused to use the term ceasefire as it’s determined to continue backing Israel’s brutal assault, which is currently focused on Gaza’s biggest hospital.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll also showed a general decline in US public support for Israel. Just 31% of poll respondents said they supported sending Israel weapons, while 43% opposed the idea.
Only 32% of respondents said the US should support Israel, compared with 41% in a poll that was conducted in October. The plurality of Americans, 39%, support the idea of the US being a neutral mediator in the conflict.
Yes, we do!
AIPC and their stooges would interpret this as most Americas are siding with Hamas.
Luckily for them members of Congress serve them and others who bribe them and not the people who elected them!
“…most Americas are siding with Hamas.” That might actually be true. It’s best to keep it to ourselves though if you want to keep your job, school enrollment, or your life.
Extortion, bribery and cancel culture are truly timeless…
That is good news although the Pro-War Rally in DC is a worrying phenomenon. So many in “leadership Role” preaching death to People of Gaza.
What pro -war rally are you talking about? Or do you mean a pro-Israle rally?
People chanting “no ceasefire” are pro war.
AND Pro-Genocide.
Innocent Gazans are paying for the Hamas atrocities,but there is no genocide.
I’d like to know how many of those respondents have witnessed daily scenes of carnage on social media and see the stats adjusted accordingly.
Something tells me they’d be considerably higher if it weren’t for our whitewashing media.
This would be a sign of hope if American politicians actually promoted the interests of the people who elect them. But seeing that they only further the interests of the billionaires who fund them, this means nothing in DC
Must have been The Great Battle of Al Shifa Hospital that that turned them, the muslim babies in a fight to the death.
To be fair, those babies looked like little terrorists to me. Look closely. They’re hiding needles in their arms, which could be used as weapons to inflict Hepatitis or something on the Israelis trying to kill them.
Yes, it was their terrorist HQ.
Peaceful Gazans are suferring for what Hamas did.Simple.
And who brought this about?-the Hamas massacre. Hamas gladly sacrificed Gazans.
But first:
Netanyahu: “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu told a meeting of his Likud party in 2019. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
“Bezalel Smotrich, leader of Israel’s Religious Zionist Party and the current finance minister: The PA is a liability and Hamas is an asset. On the international playing field in this game of delegitimization, think about for a second, the PA is a liability and Hamas is an asset. It’s a terrorist organization. Nobody will recognize it, nobody will give it status at the ICC [International Criminal Court] and nobody will let them push resolutions at the UN [causing us to] need an American veto,” Smotrich said in 2015.
Fiddling with this guy is like fiddling with a toilet full of $hit. Might as well just flush it.
I know. It’s like I have this sickness that just won’t go away. It’s like watching the GB Packers on Sunday.
Let this be our inside code word: FLUSH!
If there was a “massacre”?? All we’re allowed is IDF controlled ‘reports’, … and a few eyewitnesses whose stories not so strangely do not jibe with the “Hamas massacre” narrative.
What is wrong with American democracy?
A huge majority of two-thirds of Americans are for a ceasefire in Gaza, but Congress and the White House are nearly unanimous in being against a ceasefire, only wink, wink, for a “pause“ in the killing at will.
Could there be some corruption somewhere?
A ceasefire to allow Hamas masters to flee and new recruits and weapons to be brought into position.
where are Hamas masters supposed to flee to when none of the regular Palestinians have anywhere to flee to ? oh maybe the Hamas masters have magic carpets which they can fly into the safety of the sunset.
Qutar
I thought it was Iran’s fault.
i bet it will be before the day is done
and Russia
Those Aircraft Carriers and Missile ships are not there to spread Democracy.
so Qatar would allow Hamas masters refuge whilst they are simultaneously denying regular Palestinian people any refuge ?
ok got it.
Do you think they want to be overrun with poor,desperate,angry people?
Well they do. It is well known that senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh lives in Qatar. So do other senior leaders.
Qutar, that is not even a real word. all of those cool-guys live in a place called Qatar – hey man, middle school spelling-bee champion says “what”
what
ok man, spelling is negligible …. the reality is that some dudes are blowing the sh*t out of some other dudes. we can either put a stop to it or we can endorse it. i know which side i am on.
Qutar-they are there right now,Egypt,Turkey.Who knows what relief planes are flying out?
When a government is acting in the interests of minority, it is not a democracy. US political system is the oligarchy, not the democracy.
The operative question should be what aspect of American life and culture is not corrupted?
After 911, did the US grant a ceasefire in Afghanistan?
first of all, 9/11 was chronologically before the invasion of Afghanistan.
and secondly, what exactly did Afghanistan have to do with 9/11 ?
the official fairytale was that “19 discontented Saudi boys took flying lessons for a week and then somehow managed to high-jack 4 massive airliners”.
granted, a little bit later, uncle sam did produce a detailed blueprint of “Osama bin Laden’s underground mountain Afghanistan HQ”, and then the US did in fact invade Afghanistan but the only result of that invasion and subsequent occupation was the reopening of the opium trade which the taliban had entirely eliminated. so once again jake, what exactly did Afghanistan have to do with 9/11 ?
“only result of that invasion and subsequent occupation was the reopening of the opium trade which Taliban had entirely eliminated”
Definitely that was one of the reasons. Probably the main reason. Most of Afghan heroin was at the time dumped into Russia and EU which damaged both Russia and EU and therefore served to US oligarchy interests, leave alone the profit from narco-trade.
Most people believe that Osama planned it-he claimed credit for it-if he used Saudi Nationals-then so what!
He never claimed credit for it, and he wasn’t part of the Afghan government.
Upon further thought I sense the fine hand of Mossad.
doesn’t matter what most people believe, it only mattered what uncle sam told us – and what he told us turned out to be patently false. ie; many of those alleged Saudi high-jackers saw their names/photos on the internet and subsequently came forward and said “WTF here i am, i did not do anything”
edit) and for that matter, despite having detailed blueprints of bin-Laden’s alleged secret mountain HQ, uncle sam was never able to produce any evidence of it’s actual existence.
Apples and I’d say oranges but that wouldn’t do it justice. Let’s just say moronic instead.
The then-government of Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9-11, anymore than Germany or the US did because the terrorists received funding in Germany and flight training in the US.
We don’t matter to American politicians. Only AIPAC money matters to them.
AIPAC money is money sent to Israel by Congress and then some to AIPAC and then huge amounts/donations by AIPAC (American taxpayers) for the coffers of those who vote for Israel interests.
Why not just poll AIPAC & ADL? They’re the only ones who count. And they can make the polls of Americans show whatever they want.
Add in the donor class and the picture becomes crystal clear. “Democracy” is a fantasy. We are ruled, not governed. Money and power are linked at the hip. In fact, it is a loop. Power generates wealth and wealth generates power.
et in secula seculorum, amen
It does not matter how many Americans are in the streets protesting the Genocide by Israel. The only thing the US wants is money and power while supporting the illegal actions of a very corrupt country. The only way this situation is if the UN with major support from Russia,China,Iran and the rest of BRICS take up some form of military or financial action against the US and our 51st state. I do not think that our allies will do anything beyond lip service to the large protests in their countries,England,France and Germany are not yet independent enough to defy the US.
“The only way this situation is if the UN with major support from Russia,China,Iran and the rest of BRICS take up some form of military or financial action against the US” That is not going to happen. Got any other fantasy?
Since when did the US government care what the majority of Americans want?
Since there are no front lines, a ceasefire will not hold. For a ceasefire to be permanent the IDF has to leave Gaza. Well they are not going to do that until the Hostages are free.
Hamas has already offered hostage exchange for cease fire …
Another inconvenient truth to the poisonous narrative.
Hamas had not offered to let go all the hostages. Only a limit number and that is not going to get a cease fire. Maybe a pause.
More likely when the Palestinians are all, dead.
