Congress Wildly Out of Sync With Voters on Gaza Ceasefire

A recent Data For Progress poll showed the following voter support for immediate ceasefire to end civilian deaths in Gaza.

ALL VOTERS 66%
DEMOCRATS 80%
INDEPENDENTS 57%
REPUBLICANS 56%

Tragically, support for that ceasefire in Congress is a minuscule 2.4%, just 13 of 535. No wonder Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has rejected any consideration of ceasefire. The bombings and invasion of Gaza will likely continue till its 139 square miles are ethnically cleansed.
