War

The support for the Israelis is strong across the world but time will change that just as support for Ukraine is changing. Just 41% of respondents said Washington should provide weapons to Ukraine, 35% disagreed and 24% were unsure in the two-day poll that ended Wednesday Oct 5. The poll of 1,005 U.S. adults shows a decline in support for U.S. weapons shipments since May, when 46% of Americans supported doing so and 29% were opposed. Support is declining among Republicans and Democrats. Democratic support for arming Ukraine fell from 61% in May to 52% this week, while Republican support fell from 39% in May to 35%. Hamas is counting on that. They know that when the bodies of Palestinians killed by the Israelis are put on the news that places like CNN will begin to question the reasons why innocent people are being killed. Support for the war in Afghanistan started off at 85% but twenty years later it was down to 45%. Support for the Vietnam War went from 61% in 1965 to 28% in 1971.
