80% of the country wants us to continue our support of Israel or to do even more

    Anecdotally, I can say this. I live in red country. Everyone I talk to is unconditional about supporting Israel.

    Still though, I think if Trump were to come out tomorrow and condemn Israel and back Palestine, they’d all shit themselves, go home and change their pants, and then still vote for Trump. Seriously,

    Ok. Well I'm an American Jew who's been to Israel twice, and have been taught my entire life that it's the promised land, and I say they're currently war criminals.

    Another American Jew here. I have never been to Israel, I don't want to go to Israel and I do not support Israel, its apartheid or its genocide.

    Perhaps they're referring to this: https://news.gallup.com/poll/548084/americans-divided-involvement-middle-east.aspx

    But I think the phrasing is a bit vague here.

    Roughly four in 10 each say the U.S. is doing “about the right amount” (41%) or “not enough” (39%), while about two in 10 (19%) think the U.S. is doing “too much.”

    It could be that those 39% think that US should be doing more to hinder Israel.
