Americans strongly support Israel, but there are generational and racial divides Enlarge this image toggle caption Ariel Schalit/AP Ariel Schalit/AP Two-thirds of Americans say the United States should publicly support Israel in the war between Israel and Hamas, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, but there are wide generational and racial divides on the question. And, even though most agree that the U.S. should publicly support Israel, President Biden — who has voiced strong public support for the Jewish nation — is not benefiting politically. Notably, independents were less likely to believe this — 54% thought the U.S. should publicly support Israel, but a third said the U.S. shouldn't say or do anything. Slim majority say U.S. support for Israel has made the region safer By a 53%-41% margin, respondents said they believe U.S. support for Israel makes the Middle East safer.
