"A new Harvard-Harris poll for the month of May confirms data from previous iterations ofthe poll that suggest roughly 80% of American voters back Israel over the terrorist group Hamas in the ongoing war in Gaza. Two-thirds (66%) of voters said that there should only be a ceasefire once the remaining Israeli (and American) hostages are released and Hamas has been removed from power. Three-fourths (74%) said Israel should move forward with its operation against Hamas in Rafah — a position at odds with that of the Biden administration. 56% said that President Joe Biden’s decision to withhold some arms from Israel “mainly embolden[s] Hamas and backers like Iran to continue the war and violent actions.” Only those 18-24 years old narrowly disagreed."

"Amid the international messages of condolence and support for Iran after the death ofPresident Ebrahim Raisi, the United Nations Security Council on Monday held a solemn moment of silence to observe his passing. Israel is outraged by the gesture, saying that it was tantamount to honoring a terrorist, or "Hitler" - as stated by Israeli Ambassador to UN Gilad Erdan.
"You read correctly, the UN Security Council today held a moment’s silence to remember a mass murderer, Iranian President Raisi," Erdan said in a video published to social media.
"This body, which makes no effort to free our hostages, tipped their heads today to a man who was responsible for the deaths of thousands in Iran, in Israel, and around the world." The Israeli representative added: “What’s next? A minute of silence on the anniversary of Hitler’s death?” and charged that the UNSC has become "a danger to world peace."
