More Americans sympathize with the Palestinians than the Israelis, according to a Gallup poll

Snip:

For the first time in recent history, more Americans now sympathize more with the Palestinians than the Israelis, a Gallup poll has found. According to the survey, sympathy for the Israeli cause has fallen a record 10% in the last year.

The poll, which was published on Friday, found that 41% of Americans say their sympathies lie “more with the Palestinians” than the Israelis, up from 33% last year. 36% say they sympathize “more with the Israelis,” down from 46% last year. The remainder either have no opinion or do not favor one side over the other.

Americans of all ages have grown to favor the Palestinians more in recent years, with those aged 18-34 and 35-54 now sympathizing with them over the Israelis.

Republicans and the elderly are now the only demographics expressing a clear preference for Israel. 70% of Republicans and 49% of over-55s sympathize with the Israelis, with 13% and 31% of these groups siding with the Palestinians, respectively.
