An all-time high number of voters say their sympathies lie with the Israelis rather than the Palestinians, according to a new Quinnipiac poll. The difference is quite stark with 61% of voters sympathetic for Israelis and only 13% for Palestinians.
The percentage of people who say their sympathies lie more with Israelis than Palestinians is the highest it’s been since Quinnipiac University Poll started asking the question in December 2001.
The poll released Tuesday also shows that 72% of voters say Hamas was responsible for the latest outbreak of violence, while 10% blame Israel, 6% say both share blame and 12% would not say.
