US public support for Israel drops; majority backs a ceasefire, Reuters/Ipsos shows

WASHINGTON, Nov 15 (Reuters) - U.S. public support for Israel's war against Hamas militants in Gaza is eroding and most Americans think Israel should call a ceasefire to a conflict that has ballooned into a humanitarian crisis, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Some 32% of respondents in the two-day opinion poll, which closed on Tuesday, said "the U.S. should support Israel" when asked what role the United States should take in the fighting. That was down from 41% who said the U.S. should back Israel in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted Oct. 12-13.

in the House and Senate as will as the Presidency. That support will continue to
decrease as this humanitarian crisis deepens. We must demand a cease-fire soon.

the Secular Jews in Israel that are against BiBi, those against illegal settlements and revenge. I also stand with the everyday Muslims that want nothing to do with the crazy religious nuts.
Just like TFGs base, they make a lot of noise and vote.
