I thought I was clear: the majority of Americans and the very clear policies of the current US government have full throatily decried Hamas' actions and are actively supporting Israel's right and duty to defend themselves, including the destruction of Hamas.
''majority'' ??
Please supply a link for proof. According to Quinnipiac, 50% approve with with the balance disapproving or of no opinion:

Meanwhile 84% of Americans fear that this furtherance of conflict will draw the USA into yet another war (op cit). Additionally, Biden's approval ratings are dropping:

55% disapproval
"the damn is breaking" for Biden because of his policy ~ note that the news source is conservative:
If more violence breaks out and Americans are forced into combat, those numbers will get even worse for Biden.
I was just watching the liberal WCCO news this evening and it also acknowledged that tRump is ahead in state popularity ratings. The mess in Israel is a no win situation for Biden. Not that anything that goes on in that region is any of our business anyway. Perhaps if he would realize that he is president of the USA, not of some foreign power, and prioritized fixing domestic problems, his numbers would be a lot better for him.
Perhaps it would also help if those in the pro war camp would trouble themselves to enlist in the IDF. Let them make the war their problem, not ours.
