More Democrats sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis for first time: Gallup

More Democrats place their sympathies with Palestinians than Israelis in the Middle East for the first time, according to a new poll, as violence surges between the two parties to start the year.

Forty-nine percent of Democrats said their sympathies are more with Palestinians than Israelis, according to the Gallup survey released Thursday, while 38 percent said they place their sympathy more with Israelis.

It is the first time since Gallup started tracking the question in 2001 that more Democrats sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis, continuing a declining trend in Democratic attitudes toward Israel since the mid-2010s.

In addition to Democrats, sympathies for Palestinians from U.S. political independents is at an all-time high of 32 percent, though nearly half, 49 percent, still lean toward Israelis.

Sympathy's not enough. Act.

Yes, we do. The Palestinians were treated like the Jews were in the 30s. They were ghettoized and their rights and property were taken away. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/8/8/why-israel-hates-the-palestinians-so-much

I can't imagine why Republicans support ethnic cleansing, apartheid, theft, murder, illegal occupation and the trashing of international law and the Geneva Conventions- but it appears that a majority of them do.

When the 13% are made aware of Israel's criminality , human rights atrocities and decades of interference in US elections we can look forward to having a respectable government in place, a government that works according to American values, not the values of low-life Jewish fascists.

It requires the people with power to solve the problem. That is not the Palestinians. They have spent generations under Israel's thumb. Some Israeli soldiers shoot them for sport.Their land is being confiscated and bulldozed day after day. There are lots of Israeli citizens who feel badly about the abuse of the Arabs. Many refuse to participate in the genocide.

I'm sure they would thank you for speaking out. So few do.
