Today Rasmussen confirms Gallup's findings with their own poll showing the plurality of voters blame the pro-Palestinian activists on the Gaza-bound aid ships and not Israel.
Forty-nine percent (49%) of U.S. voters believe pro-Palestinian activists on the Gaza-bound aid ships raided by Israeli forces are to blame for the deaths that resulted in the high-profile incident.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 19% of voters think the Israelis are to blame. Thirty-two percent (32%) more are not sure.
Americans understand that Israel has the right and the obligation to protect themselves against attacks coming from Gaza and by enforcing the blockade, allowing humanitarian aid but not allowing weapons to make it through to attack Israel.
The pro-Palestinian activists wanted an international incident, wanted to paint Israel as unreasonable and in the wrong, but they misplayed their hand and instead the majority/pluarality has seen the truth about that supposed "aid".
