What Democrats? Both parties in congress are generally fully in support of Israel, as is the mainstream media.
Not really surprising. Independents viewed Israel as favorable by over 70% before this conflict and that is down to 48%
Turns out, if you indiscriminately kill civilians and attacked known locations of aid workers... People are going to change their view of you.
That doesn't equate to believing that Palestinians are the good guys, they're not.. but that doesn't mean you have to believe that Israel can't be wrong in their methods.

And what alternative to Israeli methods do you suggest given that Hamas continues to call for the death of all Israelis and polls seem to indicate that most Gazans agree with that? What part of that should Israelis not be concerned about?
I reject, by the way, your assertion that they kill civilians indiscriminantly. That's a sweeping term that ignores a lot of realities on the ground and is statistically disproven compared to other wars.
I don't have the answer and no one said they shouldn't be concerned. They should, but a poll does not believe they are all terrorists.
I'd argue that using non guided missiles in populated areas is indiscriminate, and that doesn't even factor in the intentional targeting on aid workers and others in known humanitarian zones. I get that it is certainly an incredibly tough spot for Israel, but shelling civilian locations and aid workers crosses a line.
