ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA IN THE MEDIA     57% of US Muslims Believe Hamas Atrocities Justified America, we have a problem. By Daniel Greenfield (OCTOBER 22, 2023 / FRONTPAGEMAG) The Cygnal poll is unique in that it polled Muslims in America as a separate group about the Hamas attack on Israel during which the Islamic terrorists massacred civilians, raped and kidnapped women, and killed and kidnapped children. 28% of Muslims in America strongly agree that Hamas was justified while 29% somewhat agree. On the other side, 16% strongly disagree while 25% somewhat disagree. Notably, Muslims in America have been following the situation fairly closely, with 44% saying that they have a high awareness of Hamas, 66% believe they’re well informed about the conflict, and 65% believing that they are informed about the Hamas, Fatah lineup of ‘Palestinian’ terror politics. Support for Hamas per se is not a given. Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh has a 38% favorability among Muslims in America and 34% unfavorable. (Unlike the 7% favorable among Jews, and 12% favorable among Evangelicals, the Muslims polled presumably know who Haniyeh is. Alternatively, 7% of Jews and 12% of Evangelicals love Hamas. Who knows these days.) Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has a 31% favorable among Muslims in America and a 34% unfavorable. 52% of Muslims in America equate Hamas to Al Qaeda while 18% say it’s not as bad. (It’s unclear how many of the 52% dislike Al Qaeda or support it.) 49% equate it to ISIS. About a third of Muslims in America do rate Israel and even Netanyahu positively. They are however outnumbered. Muslims in America have somewhat mixed feelings about Hamas (this is likely to be a function of different factors such as their feelings about the Muslim Brotherhood, a significant portion of the Muslim world is hostile to it) but a majority do justify its worst atrocities. Similarly, many Muslims don’t like Al Qaeda in relation to its attacks on Muslim countries, but may support its attacks on America.   READ MORE   Share This Email Share This Email VISIT OUR WEBSITE   Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment.
