Democrats Support Hamas
Support for Israel used to be a bipartisan element of American foreign policy, but as our nation has grown more divided, bipartisanship is rare on any issue. As many have noted, politics in the U.S. has become largely a team sport–many of us cheer for our “team,” more or less regardless of the facts. And it has now become clear that Hamas is part of the Democratic Party’s team.
This is reflected in poll results from the Trafalgar Group. Trafalgar surveyed 1,100 likely voters between last Saturday and Monday, asking them who they think is most to blame for the current violence. The results are interesting in several ways, but the partisan split is most notable.
Republicans reflect American’s traditional support for Israel. Just 12.5% blame Israel for the violence, while 67.6% hold Hamas, Iran or the Palestinian Authority primarily responsible. Click to enlarge:
