SHOCK REPORT: Americans supporting Hamas


THE DETAILS …

A recent poll conducted by Daily Mail and J.L. Partners has revealed a surprising shift in American public opinion, with 14 percent of respondents expressing a positive view of Hamas, a group designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government. This figure, collected between March 5-7, 2025, marks a notable increase from previous sentiments, particularly when compared to the period immediately following Hamas's invasion of Israel over a year ago, which saw widespread condemnation. The timing of the poll coincided with President Donald Trump intensifying his warnings to pro-Palestinian rioters, threatening severe consequences such as arrests, imprisonment, expulsions for students, and deportations for non-citizens, highlighting a growing tension in domestic discourse surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict.

The poll also underscores a deep division in American attitudes toward Israel, with exactly half of respondents holding a positive view of the U.S. ally, while 19 percent express negative perspectives. This polarization is further evidenced by actions taken by the Trump administration, such as the withdrawal of $400 million in federal funding from Columbia University, citing its handling of anti-Israel campus protests. The increase in positive views of Hamas, though still a minority opinion, has raised concerns among political leaders and commentators, particularly as Trump’s Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, issued notices to 60 colleges, demanding protection for Jewish students amid rising campus tensions, reflecting the broader implications of these shifting public sentiments.

These findings come against the backdrop of Trump’s aggressive foreign policy stance, including direct threats to Hamas over the release of hostages and his administration’s unprecedented engagement in talks with the group, as confirmed by the White House. The poll results, while alarming to some, must be contextualized within the broader political climate, where domestic frustrations, international conflicts, and policy decisions intersect. Critics argue that the framing of such polls can oversimplify complex geopolitical issues, potentially amplifying divisive narratives, and call for a deeper examination of the underlying factors driving these shifts in public opinion, including media influence and political rhetoric.

MY TAKE: I’m more than certain this all ties to the amount of immigration, legal, that we allow into this country from the Middle East.
