Majority of Democrats Don't Support Israel Defense Against Hamas

A new CNN poll shows only 40 percent of Democrats support Israel's response to Hamas launching repeatedly rockets into their country.

"Although most Americans think the Israeli actions are justified, there are key segments of the public who don't necessarily feel that way," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Only four in ten Democrats think the Israeli actions in Gaza are justified, compared to 74% of Republicans and 59% of independents. Support for Israel's military action is 13 points higher among men than among women, and 15 points higher among older Americans than among younger Americans."

Is anybody really surprised? After all, this is the party that booed Israel and God at this year's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
 

Although the minister in the clip above said President Obama recognizes Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel, he actually doesn't.
