As anti-Amazon activists rallied in Queens Saturday and then gathered signatures for a petition aimed at derailing the online behemoth’s plans for a campus in Long Island City — others ripped the resistance as short-sighted.

Opponents such as State Sen. Michael N. Gianaris joined about 40 activists in Queensbridge Park for a small rally on a frigid morning— a day after a report in the Washington Post, which is owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, claimed the company is reconsidering coming to Queens.

“We’ve learned over the last year that Amazon is not a responsible company,” he said. “They want to take $3 billion from us,” he said referring to the tax breaks and other incentives that the state and city agreed to hand the company, which sits in his district.

“We’re trying to stop it,” he added.

That vexes Jay Martin, who lives on the border of Astoria and Long Island City.

“My neighbors are all for it, but they’re the kind of people who go to work and go home— they aren’t the types who would go to a rally,” he said.

Rob Cockerill, 30, who moved to Long Island City three years ago, also wants the company to go through with its HQ2.

“It’s an exiting new tech industry coming here,” he said. “If they do it right, it would be provide a ton of good paying jobs. Look how well Google has done in Manhattan.”

Two polls — one paid for by Amazon— that surveyed New Yorkers on the e-tailer’s arrival appear to show supporters outweigh the opponents.

After the deal was announced in November, Quinnipiac University found that 57 percent of New Yorkers support the plan, while 26 percent were against it. The split was closer in Queens, 55 percent in favor to 39 percent opposed, but showed majority support.

And a second survey released last week by Harris X, and funded by Amazon, unsurprisingly found that citywide, 69 percent were in favor and 19 percent against. That poll found an eyebrow-raising 80 percent in favor and 16 percent against in Queens.

Strident backers, such as Gov. Cuomo — who negotiated the Amazon deal with Mayor de Blasio— have pointed to the prospect of 25,000 new, high-paying jobs, and infrastructure improvements.

But opponents note that Google’s recently announced plans for a $1 billion expansion that could bring 12,000 jobs to the West Village and Chelsea came with no special incentives.

“Is it going to bring jobs for the people in this community? No,” said Letitia Karnege, a resident of the Queensbridge Houses who added her name to the petition. “If it’s not for the people, then I’m not for Amazon being here. Why would you come here and take over our neighborhood?”

Not everyone has made up their mind.

“I don’t know what to believe,” admitted Queensbridge Houses resident Shirley West, 70. “All those jobs for the kids, it’s tempting.”
