As Israel’s devastating war against Gaza enters his third year, the opposition is increasing not only worldwide, but from within the Jewish community. A growing number of American Jews is publicly condemning Israel’s actions such as war and genocide crimes, marking a significant breakdown in what was ever supposed to be an unwavering support from the diaspora, The news reported.
This change reflects a broader global calculation with the prolonged military assault of Israel, launched after the October 7 attack of Hamas. From Washington to Sydney, public opinion is changing. A recent survey survey found that 42% of American adults disapprove the management of the Trump administration conflict, while in Australia, there is increasing support for sanctions against Israeli leaders. Even within Israel, most now believe that Gaza’s War must come to an end.
According to a Washington Post Survey many American Jews abruptly disapprove of Israel’s behavior in Gaza, and 61% say that Israel has committed war crimes and around 4 out of 10 saying that the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians.
The survey found that most American Jews surveyed believe that Israel has committed war crimes in the strip, and almost a third says that the United States supports Israel too much. But respondents divided evenly into their views on the general military campaign of Israel there. More than two thirds have a negative vision of the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Israel.
At the same time, the survey discovered that most American Jews are emotionally attached to Israel, believes that Israel’s existence is vital for the Jewish future and supports continuous military aid to Israel. Almost a third said they don’t feel safe in the United States.
The survey also found that 80% or more of American Jews are concerned about civil deaths in Gaza, Israeli hostages in Hamas, the threat represented for Israel by the resistance group and the safety of Israeli soldiers in Gaza. The majorities said Israel, Hamas, Netanyahu and the United States have responsibility for the continuation of the war.
According to the survey, American Jews disapprove of the prime minister, with 68% negatively qualifying his leadership of Israel, including 48% who call him poor. On the contrary, 32% approves Netanyahu’s leadership.
A survey of the Pew Research Center finds that almost two years after Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip, the skepticism of Americans on the operation of Israel and its government is higher than in the previous points of the conflict. He suggests that around six in ten now have an unfavorable vision of the Israeli government, with a growing part that says Israel is “going too far.”
39% now say that Israel is going too far in their military operation against Hamas. This is more than 31% a year ago and 27% at the end of 2023. 59% now have an unfavorable opinion of the Israeli government, compared to 51% in early 2024. 16% say that Israel is adopting the right approach to the conflict, and 10% say that it does not go far enough. A third of adults say they are not sure. The great actions of Americans continue to express uncertainty in several questions about the current war in the Middle East and the United States government response.
A new national survey of the PEW Research Center, carried out from September 22 to 28 between 3,445 adults, finds that 42% of American adults disapprove of the Trump administration response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, while 30% approve. Approximately a quarter (27%) say they are not sure. Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to approve the management of Trump’s conflict and say that it is achieving the appropriate balance between Israelis and Palestinians. But the actions that say that Trump is favoring the Israelis too much has increased in both partisan coalitions.
A third of adults (33%) say that the United States is providing too much military assistance to Israel. In comparison, 35% say that the United States is not providing enough humanitarian aid to Palestinian citizens in Gaza. Eight out of ten Americans say that they are at least somewhat worried about hunger among the Palestinians in Gaza, Israeli military attacks that kill Palestinian civilians and the remaining Israeli hostages that are not returned to Israel.
While more Americans disapprove (42%) to approve (30%) of the Trump administration response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. About a quarter (27%) say they are not sure.
And 36% of Americans say that President Donald Trump is favoring Israel too much in the conflict (compared to 31% in March), while 23% say they are achieving the correct balance. Few (2%) say they are favoring the Palestinians too much. More than a third – 38% – Let’s say they are not sure.
A Yougov survey, commissioned by the Palestinian Defense Network of Australia (APAN), shows that most Australians want Israel to finish their assault on Gaza, with 69% agree, 53% of agreement “strongly”, the military campaign of Netyahu’s government should stop. 14% disagree.
The Australians support difficult sanctions to Israel and their leaders for their role in the attack of Gaza, and a new survey finds that more than half of the voters agree that the federal government should extend the sanctions imposed to Russia to Israel. The survey of 1,500 Australians of voting age suggests that the public is widely supporting that the government plays a more decisive role in ending the bloody two -year war.
According to a survey by the Institute of Democracy of Israel, most Israelis believe that the time has come to end the war in Gaza, with the main reason the danger of hostages. The survey found that 66 percent of the Israelis say that the time has come to finish the war, a figure 13 indicates more than the result of a year ago, when the respondents were asked the same question, compared to the 27% they think or are sure that the moment has not yet arrived, and the 7% that is not sure. The main reason why both Jewish respondents (50.5%) and Israeli Arabs (34.5%) gave the war should end is the danger of hostages.
“The One Thing That Everyone Coul Be Sure Of As The Ents of October 7, 2023, Unfolded Was That Israel Would Emerge from The Hamas Attack A Changed Country. It was remum just the immediate trauma of the roughly 1,200 dead and 250 hostages, but also Upset the assumptions that israelis had made in the Years Before – that the country was more safe and secure than any time in its history, that the Arab World Was Slowly Accepting the Inevitability of a predominantly Jewish state And that Israel’s high -tech skill could not only generate prosperity, but also guarantee security, “said an analysis in the foreign policy magazine.
“A final calculation on such a cataclysmic event will take years to emerge. Meanwhile, the most serious predictions: Israel that catches in prolonged, mortal and destructive wars with Hezbollah and Iran; a tanned economy; and a deep crisis of confidence, they have not failed in conflicts with Hezbollah and will go in the favor of Israel. Shock better than many expected.
Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza has charged more than 67,000 lives in the last two years, after the October 7 attack of Hamas, which the Palestinian group insisted was a “historical response” to Israel’s actions against the Palestinians.
“We reaffirm that the flood of Al-Aqsa on October 7 was a historical response to attempts to eradicate the Palestinian cause,” Fawzi Barhoum, a senior Hamas official, said in a televised speech. The attack, according to Israeli officials, resulted in the death of 1,219 people.
The Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, said he was repeating his previous appeals “with an even greater urgency: to free the hostages, unconditionally and immediately.”
“Finish suffering for all … put an end to hostilities in Gaza, Israel and the region now. Stop making civilians pay with their lives and their future.” After two years of trauma, we must choose hope. Now.”
The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “Two years ago, Israel faced the darkest day in its history … We pray for the return of the hostages that are still celebrated in Gaza, and we join against terror,” “Hamas must be dismantled to end this war,” said the ministry in X. “The light will rise over darkness.”
In addition to requesting the launch of the hostages, the British prime minister, Keir Starmer, suggested pro-Palestinian protests for the anniversary of “” that horrible day “were disrespectful.” It is not who we are as a country, “the prime minister wrote in the Times.
“It is not British to have such little respect for others. And that is before some of them decide to start singing hate towards the Jews again.”
