survey; The maximum support of America’s generation Z for Palestine

According to Isna, the rece developmes in the region, especially with the outbreak of the Gaza war, have had a significa impact on the attitude of the American people towards the Palestinian issue and the coury’s foreign policy, which studies show that ideity, ethnic factors, political tendencies, the level of education and access to resources Information has played a decisive role in it.

This war has increased the debate about American foreign policy in the Middle East and has made many people reevaluate the coury’s role in regional conflicts.

Decrease in the support of the American people for the Zionist regime

The results of the “Harris Paul” survey of American citizens about the conflict between Hamas and the Zionist regime in May 1403 show that 80% of respondes support the Zionist regime and 20% support Hamas. But over time, American support for the occupation regime has decreased.

For example, the results of the “Gallup survey of American citizens about Israel’s actions in Gaza” conducted in March 2024 indicate that after about 6 mohs of the beginning of the conflict, 55% of the respondes are against the military actions of the Zionist regime in Gaza. Only 36% agree. Meanwhile, in November 2023 (Azer moh 1402), 50% were in favor and 45% were against the military actions of the Zionist regime in Gaza, and this indicates a 10% increase in the number of oppones.

According to a joi survey by The Economist and YouGov, conducted between October 12, 2023 and June 18, 2024, the perceage of people who sympathize with the occupied territories has steadily decreased from October 2023 to June 2024.

In corast, the perceage of people who sympathize with Palestine has increased slightly.

Although this increase is less significa than the decrease in sympathy for the occupied territories, it shows that support for Palestine is increasing. In the meaime, the perceage of people who do not have an opinion or sympathize with both sides has not changed much.

In addition, the analysis of the authoritative site 538 shows that last year, after the October 7th attack, public sympathy for the occupied territories temporarily increased. However, the long-term trend shows a gradual increase in sympathy for the Palestinians, especially among Democrats and independes.

At the time, a significa majority of Americans, about half of them, said they sympathized more with the resides of the occupied territories. But this trend has changed over time. Today, Americans are torn about which side they sympathize with.

A major part of this change in attitude is due to the increase in the number of Americans who believe that the military actions of the occupied Jerusalem regime in this conflict were too severe.

A joi poll by the Economist and YouGov, conducted about a week after the October 7 operation, confirms this. According to the survey, 32 perce of participas believed that Tel Aviv’s response was “correct,” 22 perce believed that it was not strong enough, and 18 perce believed that it was too strong.

With the increase in civilian casualties in Gaza, criticism of the military actions of the Zionist regime has iensified. According to the aforemeioned joi survey in late September 2024, 32 perce of participas believe that the regime’s reaction was too strong. While 22% considered it appropriate and 17% believed that this reaction was not decisive enough.

Changing the attitude of the American people towards the military aid of this coury to the Zionist regime

In addition, the public attitude towards the US military aid to the Zionist regime has also changed during this conflict. YouGov/The Economist polls over the past year have shown that the share of Americans who think the US should increase military aid to the occupation regime has declined over time; From 24% in November 2023 to 18% in September 2024. Over the same time period, the share of people who feel the United States should send more humanitarian aid to the Palestinians increased from 26 perce to 32 perce.
