Sokongan rakyat Amerika terhadap Serangan Israel masih kuat.

Gambaran kajian daripada Pew Research Center menunjukkan bahawa rakyat Amerika masih menyokong israel dan tindakan ganas dan biadap terhadap rakyat Palestin di Gaza.



Overall public support for Israel has been undiminished by the war: 49% now say they sympathize with Israel in its dispute with the Palestinians while just 11% sympathize with the Palestinians.

As to the situation in Gaza itself, more than three times as many people blame Hamas for the outbreak of violence there as blame Israel (by 41% to 12%). Nonetheless, just 40% approve of the military action Israel has taken in Gaza; 33% disapprove. Half of Americans say Israel's response to the current conflict with Hamas has been about right, while 24% believe Israel has gone too far.

Nearly two-thirds of Republicans (65%) say that Israel's response in Gaza has been about right, while very few (8%) believe Israel has gone too far. Fewer than half of Democrats (45%) say that Israel's response has been about right and more than a third (36%) say it has been excessive

Apalah yang kita boleh harapkan daripada Obama, hanyalah janji dan kata-kata manis. “ We have long road to go…”
