Apparently according to recent polls, over 70% of the US population wants a cease-fire in gaza. Considering less than a handful of congress-members agreed with them, that makes 99% of the US congress opposing the will of the people. Very democratic country, yes.
According to onerecent poll, the number is 67%, and they didn’t poll for a range of definitions of ceasefire to try to suss out exactly what that means. Like, many people would only accept a ceasefire that would more or less erase Hamas, but there is no sign of that happening. Instead, everything (including somewhat agree) was just lumped together to produce 67%.
I’ve seen elsewhere (I’ll try to find the source but I’ve got a busy day ahead of me so it may be in a day or two) that like the Oscars, Congress was filling empty seats with people to give the illusion that it was widely supported.
Congress gave Netanyahu 58 standing ovations in his 53 minute speech; more than one per minute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LI8lTG7ht4
