  1. Republicans would bomb Iran unprompted, Democrats are divided.

    Media isn’t helping by painting anyone who supports Palestine as Pro-Hamas.

    Edit: All of this according to social media, at least.

  3. CNN also released a poll saying Trump was up 20 points with zoomers.

    The network is dogshit-tier.

  4. Hamas is a terrorist state with delusional dreams of genocide. It should be easy to condemn them.

  5. I’m in support of the Palestinians not getting slaughtered. I’m in support of Israelis not getting slaughtered. I’m in support of Hamas getting slaughtered. These polls seem to leave out the Palestinians. As if to lump them in with the terrorists. Like Israel is doing.

  6. Bah.. cnn has been fox news lite for 6 months already. That dude on the board is doing a speed run with that network migrating it into the springer days.

  7. Interesting contrast with how the Israeli population sees the situation.

    >**Israelis blame gov’t for Hamas massacre, say Netanyahu must resign – poll**

    *An overwhelming majority of 86% of respondents, including 79% of coalition supporters, said the surprise attack from Gaza is a failure of the country’s leadership.*

  8. These sort of polls are more designed to impact public opinion versus just simply reflecting it

  9. >Nearly all Americans (84%) express at least some sympathy for both
    Israeli and Palestinian people as they face ongoing fighting.

  11. I mean…the kind of Americans who would respond to a cnn poll…I assume conducted over the phone…yeah, probably. That doesn’t mean a whole lot though.

  12. I see a lot of sympathy for Palestinian on social media I’m surprised in comparison to empathy for Israel

  13. Well I mean …. Look at the U.S. response to 9/11 and no surprises here

  15. Who the fuck are completing these polls? I feel like their sample size are 50-70 y/o CNN viewers

  17. This checks out. America invaded Iraq and destroyed the country for a decade because of 9/11 and imaginary weapons of mass destruction. Americans will think it is acceptable no matter how far Israel goes as far as a response to the Hamas massacre sadly. Israel is literally creating the next gen of Hamas agitators right now. You can’t take away a person’s house and entire family and think they’re going to just cool off.

  18. Guess what, the Palestinians don’t care right now what the population of the US thinks. The poll is only done to give validation to billions more being sent to Israel.

  19. The poll also says 87% of Americans are sympathetic to the Palestinian people and only 50% of Americans think the Israeli government’s military response to the Hamas attacks is fully justified, but you wouldn’t think that just based on the headline alone…

  20. The media discussion around this conflict is repugnant. virtually every American article talks about “Hamas atrocities” in the headline, but then talks with clinical indifference about Israel cutting off water, food, and electricity to millions of civilians, forcing them to flee homes that they will likely never be allowed to return to, etc. Between 2000 and 2017, more Palastinian CHILDREN (about 1700) were killed by Israelis OUTSIDE of armed conflict than people (NOT children alone, just people) were killed by Hamas in these attacks. Yet no one talks about the dehumanization and brutalization that Palastinians endure every day, only the suffering of Israelis.

    Those of us who are pro-Palestine need to begin every sentence with “obviously, I don’t condone Hamas, but…” Well how come supporters of Israel don’t have to begin every statement with “well, obviously I don’t support the government of Israel or the IDF, but…”?

  21. Well America is an imperium built on terror and war that has no empathy for outsiders. No surprise there.

  23. Tell me you can’t be trusted to report the news without telling me you can’t be trusted to report the news.

  25. Think about Hamas what you will (preferably fucking detest them) but calling Israels response justified is simply insane. Indiscriminately bombing civilians and going on a warcrime speedrun would not be justified in ANY scenario

  26. I don’t trust this poll especially since CNN has been all pro Israel without reporting their cruel treatment of the Palestinian people. It makes me 🤮

  28. Attacks on Hamas? Most definitely. Attacks on civilians? Not so much.
