Oct 24, 2023 12:11 pm

Michael Mahar reports for News10 that New Yorkers views on the current situation in Israel and Gaza are all over the map. A new Sienna College poll found that 57 percent of New Yorkers support government aid to Israel. Aid to Hamas is not being considered, so instead the poll asked about the effects of the Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, and 50 percent of respondents said they were concerned. Also, 32 percent of New Yorkers in the poll said they believe the Israeli attacks on Gaza are justified no matter the human cost. Thousands have died on both sides of the conflict between the Hamas terrorist group and the Israeli government. Currently thousands of Palestinians are trapped without food, water, and electricity, and the Israeli army is expected to invade at any time. Read more about this story at the News10 website.
