A new Gallup poll has found that fewer than half of all Americans are now sympathetic to Israel.

The percentage of Americans overall who sympathise with Palestinians, thirty-three percent, is at its highest recorded level. Of Democrats, 59 percent sympathise more with Palestinians compared to 21 percent of Democrats who sympathise more with Israelis - the lowest recorded level.

"Although Americans remain more likely to say their sympathies in the Middle East situation are with the Israelis rather than the Palestinians, the 46% expressing support for Israel is the lowest in 25 years of Gallup’s annual tracking of this measure on its World Affairs survey," the report said.

"The previous 51% low point in this trend of Americans’ sympathy for Israelis was recorded both last year and in 2001."

Why anyone is sympathetic with Israel mass murdering children is beyond me.
