A poll by Quinnipiac University shows a notable shift in American attitudes toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with sympathy for Palestinians surpassing that for Israelis for the first time, Shehab Wire reported. The survey represents the first time since the university began tracking the issue that Palestinian sympathy has outpaced Israeli sympathy among Americans.
The poll results indicate growing American support for the Palestinian perspective in the conflict, reversing previous patterns of public sentiment tracked over the years.
