Majority of Americans support stopping US arms flow to Israel: poll :: nournews

The poll, conducted by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) think tank between February 27 and March 1, suggests that more than 50% of Americans want the administration of US President Joe Biden to stop sending weapons to Israel.

“Fifty-two percent of Americans agree that the U.S. government should suspend arms shipments to Israel until Israel ceases its attacks on Gaza,” the security think tank said. economic policy in a statement, citing a new YouGov poll he commissioned.

According to results released Tuesday, 62% of respondents who voted for Biden in 2020 wanted Washington to end its military support for Israel until this brutal war ends.

The poll's statement by the Washington-based think tank was “The United States should stop arms shipments to Israel until Israel ends its attacks on the people of Gaza,” to which just 14% of Biden voters disagreed.

“In contrast, only 30 percent of Trump voters support stopping U.S. arms shipments, while a majority (55 percent) oppose it, and 15 percent say they are unsure,” added the CEPR.

Israel has killed more than 30,600 Palestinians and injured at least 72,000 in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

The regime unleashed its bloody war machine after being taken by surprise by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas' Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on that October day.

Over the past five months, around 85 percent of Gaza's population has been internally displaced due to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.

According to media reports, Washington has supplied 21,000 precision-guided munitions to Israel since October. Other types of munitions and weapons include tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells, thousands of bunker-busting munitions and 200 kamikaze drones.

Despite a considerable number of deaths and casualties, the Israeli army has failed to achieve its stated objectives such as “destroying” Hamas, finding the captives held by the Gaza-based resistance movement and causing the forced displacement of the population of the Palestinian territory to neighboring Egypt.
