Pew: 44% of Muslim Americans surveyed view Hamas favorably, overall support for Israel falls
A new Pew Research Center survey found Americans now view Israelis and Palestinians nearly equally favorably overall, with younger adults and Democrats expressing significantly stronger support for Palestinians than for Israelis
Assessment
A significant portion of Muslim Americans hold a favorable view of Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, according to a new Pew survey. The data also reveals a broader shift in American public opinion, with younger adults and Democrats now favoring Palestinians over Israelis. This marks a notable departure from historically strong U.S. support for Israel.
