Guardian: Less Than Half in U.S. Now Sympathetic Toward Israelis

Support for establishment of independent Palestinian state remains at majority level

Although Americans remain more likely to say their sympathies in the Middle East situation are with the Israelis rather than the Palestinians, the 46% expressing support for Israel is the lowest in 25 years of Gallup’s annual tracking of this measure on its World Affairs survey. The previous 51% low point in this trend of Americans’ sympathy for Israelis was recorded both last year and in 2001.

At the same time, the 33% of U.S. adults who now say they sympathize with the Palestinians is up six percentage points from last year and the highest reading by two points.

In other words, the tides are changing and the Trump administration is totally missing the boat.
