AdvertisementThe WSJ poll discovered that age and party affiliation played a role in shaping sentiments toward Israelis and Palestinians. Nearly a quarter of Democrats expressed greater sympathy for “Palestinians,” while 17% leaned towards the Israelis. In contrast, more than two-thirds of Republicans showed more sympathy for Israelis, with only 2% favoring “Palestinians” and 17% expressing sympathy for both groups. Regarding support for the “Palestinians,” 21% of respondents thought the US was providing excessive support, while about a quarter felt it was insufficient, and just under a third believed the support was appropriate. Republicans overwhelmingly expressed confidence that Israel is taking necessary military action for self-defense, and a slim majority of independents shared this view.
