Poll:Americans Back Israelis Over Palestinians; Also Tend to Favor Israel in Territorial Conflict

A Gallup poll published yesterday found that 64 percent of Americans sympathize with Israelis in the conflict with Palestinians, according to the UPI website.


The poll, which surveyed 1,044 adults in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, reveals the highest level of support for Israel since 2013, which also found 64 percent of Americans favoring Israel.


Those with no preference for either side dipped to 16 percent, the lowest level Gallup has recorded.


Gallup said, "Most Americans view Israel favorably and the Palestinian Authority unfavorably, resulting in a strong tendency for Americans to sympathize with Israel in the territorial conflict..." The low level of sympathy for Palestinians by Americans may be due to the tendency of Palestinians to carry out terrorist attacks.
