Poll Finds Americans Overwhelmingly Support Israel’s War on Hamas, but Younger Americans Defend Hamas
A poll of Americans found that an overwhelming number support Israel’s war on Hamas terrorists, but a majority of younger Americans were sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians.
The Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll found that 84% of respondents sided with Israel while only 16% sided with the Hamas militants.
Among older Americans aged 65 years and older, 95% said they supported Israel while only 5% said they supported Hamas.
A slight majority of 51% of Americans aged 18 to 24 years said that the terror attack by Hamas on Israel could be justified by the grievances of Palestinians. 49% of those the same ages disagreed that the attack could be justified.
“There is strong support for Israel across all parties and against Hamas. They think Israel should not cease hostilities until they have weakened Hamas,” said Mark Penn, a co-director of the poll.
