If the question is "do you support Israel", yeah, but that's not the question.

Your choice of statistics is misleading. A ceasefire is not an end. It is a temporary reprieve. In the same poll:
So unless the ceasefire results in Hamas disbanding, or more likely, all the hostages being released reality dictates a ceasefire is not 'this ending'. America wants Hamas to lose like it or not.
It's literally the question, unlike vague concepts of "supporting Israel militarily" until an ideology is disbanded (hello War on Terror).
Proposals for a cease fire include releasing all the hostages. And for those that want to somehow accomplish the impossible task of dismantling an ideology, only half support it. Less than half to be precise. And those are mostly Republicans.
Another way to say this is "a majority of Democrats and independents do not favor supporting Israel militarily until Hamas is dismantled". Yeah, great factoid. One might even call it misleading to use it to indicate Democrats don't support restricting arms.
I support cutting the military budget by 90% so that doesn’t leave much room for giving away free shit.
