A new poll from CBS News/YouGov found the majority of Americans are against “sending weapons and supplies” to Israel amid their conflict with Hamas.
The poll found 52% of Americans said the U.S. should not “send weapons and supplies to Israel” versus 48% who said they should.
Earlier last week, the Biden administration requested an additional $105 billion in aid for Israel and Ukraine.
“If approved, $61.4 billion in aid would go to Ukraine, and $14.3 billion in aid would go to Israel,” NBC News reported. “The White House requested $9.15 billion in aid for humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, Israel, Gaza ‘and other needs.’”
From Summit News:
Israel regularly uses the billions of dollars in aid the US gives them every year to buy US treasuries, effectively lending us back our own aid money and charging us interest on it. The US Treasury’s latest numbers showed Israel is holding $46 billion in US treasuries. They could easily use that money to fund their war on Gaza but instead they’re taking advantage of Hamas’ attack to demand even more US taxpayer dollars.
