Support for Israel among Americans has fallen to a historic low, with public sympathy now nearly evenly divided between Israelis and Palestinians. Recent polling shows that 41 percent of respondents say their sympathies lie more with Palestinians, compared with 36 percent who favor Israelis.

The shift highlights how attitudes toward Israel have become increasingly contentious in the United States, carrying significant implications for domestic politics and foreign policy. The change has been driven largely by Democrats, who are now significantly more likely to express sympathy for Palestinians.

Assistance to Israel has emerged as a major point of division within the Democratic Party, particularly during this year’s primary elections, underscoring the broader political impact of the changing public mood.
