that is 14 out of about 50 so lets say %70 if you really want
Still only 72% and it increased to 19 in another vote later on totaling 62% support of Israel. Very recently the House passed a motion to block another billion dollar sale to Israel, and they also reduced or restricted trade several times under the Biden admin to the point that Netanyahu came to speak to them and beg for more weapons.
Biden himself is one of the most outspoken supporters of Israel, but he withheld large bombs purchased by Israel in fears that Netanyahu would use them on Rafah.
You're talking about politicians, they're talking about voter opinion. Why would you think those numbers would be correlated?
I wouldn't, you should ask this to them though not me
