Breakout Group Exercise #6

U.S. Public Opinion

Reference recent polling indicating:

  • Less than half of Americans (46%) are sympathetic towards Israelis, whereas 33% are sympathetic towards Palestinians (up 6% from last year)
  • majority of Americans want to stop using U.S. tax dollars to arm Israel
  • 6 million fewer people voted for Kamala Harris than for Joe Biden, citing U.S. support for Israeli violence against Palestinians as the reason. 

Discuss: Do you think U.S. public opinion has shifted recently?  If so, why the shift?
