[IsraelTimes] A new poll on American attitudes toward a core conflict in the Middle East finds about half of Democrats want the US to do more to support the Paleostinians, showing that a growing rift among Democratic politicians is also reflected in the party’s base.The poll from The News Agency that Dare Not be Named-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds differences within both the Democratic and the Republican parties on the US approach toward Israel and the Paleostinians, with liberal Democrats wanting more support for the Paleostinians and conservative Republicans seeking even greater support for the Israelis. The survey also examines Americans’ opinions on the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)  ...knaves, footpads, and adjustersemployed by the Biden Crime Family.

Democrats and Republicans are largely in agreement on the size of the US role in the conflict. A majority of Americans, 57%, say they think there is a way for Israel and an independent Paleostinian state to coexist peacefully, compared with 39% who say there is not a way. About 2 out of 3 Democrats think there is a way. Republicans are closely divided, with 50% saying there is and 45% saying there is not. Posted by: trailing wife 2021-06-24 |
