Significant Shift in American Sympathy Towards Palestinians in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
A recent Gallup poll has revealed a historic shift in American sympathies regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with more U.S. citizens now expressing sympathy for Palestinians than for Israelis. For the first time, 41% of Americans say they sympathize more with Palestinians, compared to 36% who support Israelis. This marks a dramatic change from previous decades where American support for Israel consistently outpaced that for Palestine. The survey highlights a growing majority of Americans who also back the establishment of a Palestinian state, indicating a sustained decline in sympathy for Israel amidst ongoing violence and humanitarian crises.
