    Where did you get that 90% figure. Not going to disagree though as it is likely correct but the reality is it is already costing Americans money to not have a ceasefire so unsure your point.

    There are lots and lots of polls about Americans wanting a cease fire which range in % but all around 70%. +- 10.

      Americans in general have next to no understanding of how aid and funding works, so any poll taken about providing aid or funding is inherently worthless.

      People are stupid. That’s why they vote for shit like Trump, Brexit, and cutting military aid to allies.

        Well…50% of the population is below average intelligence and they are easy to manipulate and thus are a force to recon.

      Obviously I made up the 99% figure as a rhetorical device mirroring the earlier 70% figure as a way of inserting my opinion about the nature of the 70% figure.
