"Rising Criticism: Israel's Response to Hamas Draws Concern"

Americans are divided over Israel's response to Hamas' attack, with a majority of Democrats now saying it has been too much, according to a recent poll. Younger respondents and people of color were more likely to believe Israel has gone too far and sympathize more with the Palestinians. There are also divisions on whether to fund both the Israel and Ukraine wars or neither, as well as on the U.S.'s role in the world. Concerns over hate crimes in the U.S. related to the conflict are high. President Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war has received disapproval, and overall, his job approval rating is low. Democrats are seen as more unified than Republicans, and there is a desire for compromise in Congress to avoid a government shutdown.
