Most (67%) Americans believe Israel should continue its military efforts in Gaza until Hamas is defeated and the hostages are released, according to a new HarrisX poll commissioned by the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CoP).
The survey also found that more than eight in ten Americans expressed their belief that Israel has a responsibility to protect its citizens and strike back when necessary.
The survey, conducted online from November 11-12 among 1,331 US adults, revealed significant support for Israel's efforts to combat Hamas and highlighted a condemnation of the terrorist organization.
A significant majority of Americans held Hamas responsible for the humanitarian challenges in Gaza. Eight in 10 respondents believed that Hamas is primarily responsible for putting civilians in Gaza in harm's way, and a staggering 77% of Americans believed that Hamas triggered the humanitarian crisis in the region. Additionally, 83% of respondents felt that Hamas is using the Palestinian people as human shields, further underlining the condemnation of the group's tactics.
Clearly, the mobs rampaging through the streets of American cities, demanding the destruction of Israel with chants of Free Palestine or From the River to the Sea represent a very small minority of Americans.
