Just under half of Americans said they support US law enforcement arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes committed in Gaza.
A poll conducted by The Economist and YouGov released on Tuesday shows that a plurality of Americans want Netanyahu arrested. When asked, “The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. Should the U.S. arrest Netanyahu if he comes here?” 49% of Americans responded “yes,” more than double the number who said “no.”
Over two-thirds of Democratic voters and 55% of independents want US law enforcement to arrest Netanyahu. Even among Republicans, only 49% said they did not want Netanyahu arrested in the US, while 20% want the Israeli leader apprehended and 31% responded they were “not sure.”
Those numbers would have been radically different just a couple of years ago.
Half of Americans support the opposite of whatever the other side answered.

The efficacy of psyops/influence operations in the digital age is Pandora's box. Decades of geo and domestic political strategy have compressed into years, even months.
Whether that's good or bad depends on whether or not you believe people are maximally truth-seeking.
