In so many ways, the war in Israel, triggered by Hamas' invasion, has led to much disruption in the world. Since this attack on October 7, America, Britain, and the EU have documented rising antisemitic attacks and hate crimes.

When Hamas invaded Israel, they kidnapped, brutalized, and executed many Israelis and others in the country. To this day, hostages still remain in Gaza, with people around the world demanding the release of these folks and their return to the Jewish State.

Tuesday, November 7 will mark a full month since the incursion against Israel. Meanwhile, a new poll shows many Americans have apprehensions about our country potentially becoming involved in the war against Hamas.

A closer look at where the public stands

This week, a poll conducted by Quinnipiac University showed that 84% of Americans feel, to some degree, that our country could get dragged into the Israel-Hamas war.

The same survey also found just 51% of our citizens agree with the United States sending military assistance to Israel amid the ongoing conflict. Though 41% believe our country should avoid going this route.

As antisemitism continues to grow, 75% of Americans agree this is a domestic problem. Recent weeks have seen threats made against Jews, Jewish college students being forced to lock themselves into secluded rooms for their own safety, and more.

Then, of course, there have also been myriad viral videos that show pro-Palestine demonstrators tearing down the missing posters of abducted people in Israel.

Ongoing developments

At this time, there's no telling how much longer the war in Israel will carry on. Though Hamas continues to make it clear they have no intention of backing down. As the conflict in the Middle East plays out, so do various demonstrations supporting Israel, Palestine, or even Hamas.

On social media, people have started identifying and contacting the employers of folks who remove missing posters of Israelis, openly advocate for Hamas, or call for the erasure of Israel. Many folks publicly engaging in antisemitism like this hence suffered job loss as a result.

Ultimately, the weeks ahead will provide more insight into not just the future of Israel, but also the possibility of eventual harmony in the Middle East.
