A new survey says most Americans feel Israel was justified in assassinating Hamas leader and arch-terrorist Ahmed Yassin.
As reported by CNSNews.com, the poll, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies between March 22-23, showed that 61 percent of respondents feel Israel was justified in killing Yassin. Furthermore, 74 percent of respondents rejected the statement: "Even though Sheik Yassin headed the Hamas terror organization, as a Moslem spiritual leader who was partially blind and wheelchair bound, Sheik Yassin should have had immunity from attack by the Israelis."
The poll also revealed a high-level of awareness of news from Israel among the Americans, with 66 percent of respondents reporting that they knew about Israel's targeted killing of Yassin within 24 hours of the attack. By March 23, 69 percent of Americans had heard something about the operation.
