A new poll by Data for Progress shows that far more people in the US want to see their government send humanitarian aid to Gaza than weapons to Israel.
The survey was carried out among 1,227 likely US voters who self-identified their party affiliation.
Broken down by party, a majority of Democrats want to see humanitarian aid for Gaza prioritised over arms transfers to Israel. The opposite is true for Republicans.
When asked if Israel is committing human rights abuses against Palestinians, most Democrats agree, but most Republicans disagree. Independents appear to land somewhere between the two sides.
When that same question was asked back in May, not as many Democrats were convinced, but August’s survey shows a significant increase in Democrats who believe Israel is carrying out abuses in Gaza.
