Nearly 70 percent of those surveyed from Oct. 11 to 13 said they support Israel in its latest conflict with Hamas, according to a poll conducted by the Senate Opportunity Fund, a conservative nonprofit, and provided to the Washington Free Beacon. This includes 62 percent of self-described liberals and 77 percent of those who say they are conservative.

Support for Israel is considerably higher now than it was during the country’s last skirmish with Hamas, which took place over 11 days in June 2021. At that time, just 43 percent of those polled said they support Israel in the conflict, with 30 percent of self-identified liberals expressing support for the Jewish state. Seventy-eight percent of conservatives polled at that time said they backed Israel.

The findings indicate that Hamas’s widely reported war crimes—which include the rape, murder, and torture of women and children—has galvanized the American public behind Israel’s cause.

[As it should, “Never again” means “never again,” after all, and most Americans grasp that. Only the subset of the Very Online Left, campus activists and administrators, and professional Marxist agitators think otherwise. — Ed]
