A new Gallup poll taken this week shows that only 11 percent of Americans view Hamas as being justified in its war against Israel, according to the results released on Thursday. A full 70 percent said Hamas was not justified in this war.
Gallup said the poll showed U.S. attitudes remained similar to a previous poll conducted in 2002, when the Israel Army responded to widespread suicide bombing that killed over 1000 civilians during the second Palestinian Intifada, or uprising.
In 2002, the same question about Palestinian justification for fighting Israel showed that 17 percent believed their aims were justified and 62 percent did not.
But the poll, in both iterations, also noted that when the question was framed in the opposite way, asking if Israel was justified in its actions against Hamas, or the Palestinians, generally, the results showed less clarity. In 2014, 42 percent said Israel was justified, and 39 percent said it was not; in 2002, the results were 44 percent and 34 percent.

While an overwhelming majority say that Hamas is not justified in what it's doing, unfortunately the opposite side (Israel) is not seen as "justified" by many ... even though Israel is being attacked.
But, it should be as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Kerry ... Israel is the one who knows how to take care of these things and not outsiders who don't understand things intimately!

Isn’t that the number of true liberals and Muslims in this country? About 11%?

Israel is the one who knows how to take care of these things and not outsiders who don't understand things intimately! A lot of us outsiders understand what's happening quite well, if not as intimately as Bibi N.

Probably because the administration is one of Hamas cheerleaders.

The 11% is the MSM, Liberals and Democrats.

Stupid poll. If you took the same poll in Gaza, where it matters...methinks the numbers would be a little bit higher.

But that 11% is damn loud. That's because 98% of the press is in that eleven percent.
