Is it True that American Support for Israel Is Waning?
(Washington Post) Adam Taylor - A Pew Research Center Poll conducted between July 24-27 finds that just one in four Americans believes Israel has "gone too far" in the recent Gaza conflict. Another poll from Pew, conducted on July 8-14, found that 51% of Americans said they sympathize more with Israel than Palestinians, and only 14% sympathize more with the Palestinians. A CNN poll from July 18-20 found that 57% said they supported Israel's action in Gaza. CNN Polling Director Keating Holland noted that "in 2012, an identical 57% thought that Israel's actions against Hamas in Gaza were justified."
