A majority of people will always say they don't want a humanitarian crisis of any nature to continue. I feel as if a better metric to poll for is how many people will factor in these kinds of things when deciding on who to vote for, and how likely they will not vote for a party that supports it.

A majority of people will always say they don't want a humanitarian crisis of any nature to continue.

"I want the war to stop" and "I want less/no arms sales to Israel" are two different statements. They're logically equivalent, but Israel and their supporters spend millions of dollars every year to prevent people from making that and similar connections, so it's a meaningful result coming from one of the world's Zionist hotbeds.

I feel as if a better metric to poll for is how many people will factor in these kinds of things when deciding on who to vote for, and how likely they will not vote for a party that supports it.

No argument there.

They did not "block" arms sales anymore. Also the government has repeatedly reiterated, that they never blocked arms sales, but instead in their secret meetings they made decisions on individual cases which remain secret. However now they have decided in their secret meetings that they will be sending new weapons. Which, where and how remains secret...

I watch the press conferences of the government every time. Usually there is three a week. It sounds even more stupid, when you hear the government speakers reply this way to the journalists questions.

For anyone interested, here you can find most of them of the past ten or so years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_GBV4mb2DQ&list=PLuQE_zb4awhV8JxSNeJzUnHskCx0eyjVj
