Not even 50%. If over 50% of U.S. adults supported Israel, latest aid Bill to Israel would not have been so difficult to pass. Minority Leader H Jeffries had to promise to save Speaker M Johnson from ouster in order to get latest Israel Bill passed.
Give me a break with that "trying to minimize civilian casualties" BS. At least 14,000 kids have been killed. How many more before you stop defending Israel's actions? Give us a number!
Israel has repeatedly bombed areas full of civilians and top Israeli officials have clearly stated that they consider all Palestinians to be Hamas. They speak in genocidal terms that are just as deranged as Hamas. You have to have your head buried so far in the sand to be unaware of this. The only reason Israel hasn't gone full genocide is because it would surely trigger a regional war and end its sugar baby relationship with America.
They've bombed virtually the entire Palestinian population out of their homes, bombed hospitals, blocked aid from being delivered to civilians, seized Palestinian land, and brought about at least 50x more death and destruction than Hamas did in its terror attack. Their goal of "eliminating Hamas" is no different than Bush's old goal to "end terrorism." It's just an excuse to keep dropping bombs indefinitely. And, of course, every civilian they kill has family members who will want to avenge them, so the only way to "win" is to kill them all.
What do you know? Israel directed the surviving refugees south to Rafah, and now they plan to invade Rafah.
Israel won't stop until they have all the land and the Palestinians have nothing.
Instead of spending billions on bombs and missiles why not spend billions buying land in Jordan and Syria and re-settling these poor people. I am sure the current residents would hate moving but their kids (and their kids kids) would finally have a peaceful life. This has been going on nearly 100 years now.

Because Palestine is their home.
Why should they have to give it to Euro and American Jews?

To you, your plan seems reasonable. Why do Palestinians have to leave? You do know since 1917, Europeans have been stilling land owned by Palestinians. If Palestinians leave, they are never allowed to return. On the other hand, Israeli government proclaimed: Every Jew, no matter where are automatically duel citizens, well white Jews. How is that fair? Israel military are able to fly in fresh troops. If you live in a large U.S. city, you have crossed paths with duel citizen I.D.F. soldiers if you know it or not, same for Mossad.
“[The director of the survey] said the student protests appear out of step with broader public attitudes on Israel and noted that the poll showed Americans largely want a cease-fire in the war but only after Hamas is removed from power and the hostages they seized during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel are returned.”
This is my entire opinion on the issue, and it seems I’m in the majority. It seems like a pretty sensible position to take, I dunno.
I’m not far removed from undergrad age myself, so I’m not really surprised “the kids” have been taken in with simple rewrites of standard SJW talking points, with “BIPOC” and “whiteness” crossed out and “Palestine” and “Israel” written in using crayon. I’m also not surprised at some of the videos coming out where protesting students admit they don’t know a single thing about the issue or the history between the combatants. I’ll also say that the mindless rush to support Palestine has all the markers of a rising trend that will inevitably fall off as well. We saw something pretty similar with BLM a few years ago, for a while everybody was in on the protests but now it’s down to the usual hard core who would be protesting regardless, and the vast majority of trendoids have moved on.

Because hard-line Israelis will ensure the Palestinians never live in peace and will see their homes destroyed, land stolen, and futures ruined. How many more decades does this same story need to play out?
55% of the buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, 35% destroyed, 600,000 people no longer have a home to return to, 1.2 million people are displaced, 34,000 killed. Given how extensive and thoroughgoing the destruction of buildings in Gaza from north to south, it seems clear that they are trying to clear out the entire territory. They just are lacking other countries to push all the refugees to.
