Poll: Americans still support Israel (JTA)
The Israel Project released a poll indicating strong backing for Israel in its conflict with Hezbollah. The poll, released last Friday, said that 67 percent of Americans surveyed feel Israel is somewhat or strongly justified in its operations in Lebanon. Also, 68 percent of those polled believe that Israel is targeting Hezbollah strongholds and strategic areas, as opposed to carrying out indiscriminate attacks.

Fifty-one percent support Israel’s continuation of military operations against Hezbollah, while 38 percent say Israel should stop. The study polled 850 likely American voters, on Aug. 2-3. The margin of error is 3.4 percentage points.
