Democratic sympathies for Palestinians has increased over the last decade, and a Gallup poll published in March 2023 found their affinity toward the Palestinians finally eclipsed their support of Israel, 49% to 38%.
The attitudes from March reflected a continued decline in Israeli support, from 40% to 38% and an 11-point surge of support for Palestinian people, from 38% to 49%.
The 38% support for Israel was a historic low for the Democratic Party, as is the 13% of Democrats who said they do not favor one side over the other.
The nearly 8-in-10 support for Israel has been steadfast since 2003, dipping only once over the past 20 years below 70%.
More Independents support Israel (49%) than Palestinians (32%). Nineteen percent said they did not favor one side over the other, according to Gallup.
The recent poll has resurfaced as a war has erupted between Israel and Hamas, a terror group that governs Gaza, a territory given to Palestinian people in 2005 in exchange for peace.
I support neither sides agenda, hatred, racism, and pure evil. Yes both sides have very evil people in power. I stand with the innocent people who have no hand in this, the children leaving the world early due to circumstances out of their control, the elderly dying on their last day on earth a cruel and miserable death. The man who have to be called up to go take lives without understanding why or how this even happened.
