Palestinian Public Opinion Poll No. 90, Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, December 13, 2023

Wide public support for Hamas’ offensive on October the 7th, but the vast majority denies that Hamas has committed atrocities against Israeli civilians.

Support for armed struggle rises, particularly in the West Bank and in response to settlers’ violence, but support for the two-state solution rises somewhat. The overwhelming majority condemns the positions taken by the US and the main European powers during the war and express the belief that they have lost their moral compass.

Jews Gaslighting Jews: A Primer by Dr. Alex Joffe, The Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,102, July 22, 2021

A recent poll purports to capture the attitudes of American Jews regarding Israel and politics. While the poll boasts the sensational result that 22% of American Jews apparently think Israel is guilty of “genocide” against the Palestinians, a closer look shows that the poll was presented with a clear narrative arc designed to manipulate the respondents. Significantly, the poll was conducted by a progressive consulting firm on behalf of an allegedly impartial Jewish political organization that is in reality a spin-off of a Jewish Democratic organization. This gaslighting of Jews by other Jews on behalf of the Democratic Party and its progressive causes is in keeping with longstanding Obama-Biden-era practice.

Data and analysis of surveys of American public opinion on three issues—views of Israel vs. the Palestinian Authority, sympathies with the two sides, and support for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state—reveal that from 2000 to 2020, Americans have consistently viewed Israel favorably and the Palestinian Authority unfavorably and shown much more sympathy for Israelis than for Palestinians. They are increasingly supportive of the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, a trend that might have resulted from the inclusion of a Palestinian state in President Donald Trump’s peace plan.

• On the whole, Israelis describe their personal situation as favorable, with 74.7% of the total sample characterizing it as “good” or “very good.” [….] As in the general population, a majority of Arab respondents also classify their situation as “good” or “very good,” though by a smaller share than the Jewish respondents (65.1% and 76.5%, respectively).

This was also true of age, and of self-described level of religiosity. [p. 9]
• A large majority of Jewish and Arab respondents alike (roughly 84% in each group) report that they are not interested in emigrating to a Western country, even under such favorable circumstances as receiving citizenship and hence having access to employment. [p. 10]
