    I think that’s a good demonstration of why you rarely can draw useful conclusions from opinion polling. slight changes in wording that do not actually change the issue in question (given that one actually understands what is being asked) will dramatically change how respondents understand the issue. a question about “Biden’s handling” of the conflict can easily lump pro-palestinian respondents in with insane right wing zionists who think the Biden administration’s mild chiding of Netanyahu while giving him everything he asks for is tantamount to betrayal. And what good does it do to ask about Israel’s military conduct when all the journalists doing actual reporting on that military conduct are being systematically murdered?
