Public support for Israel in European countries has fallen to its lowest recorded level, according to a recent survey by YouGov.
Fewer than a fifth of respondents in six countries held a favourable view of Israel in a poll carried out last month. The survey was conducted between 12 and 26 May in Britain, France, Germany, Denmark, Spain and Italy.
Asked which side they sympathised with in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, 14 percent of Brits said they sided with Israel, while 32 percent sided with Palestinians. Twenty-one percent said both sides equally, and 32 percent were unsure.
No they haven’t. The Palestinian genocide is a relatively recent western colonial project, started by Zionists in the early 20th century. The earlier history wasn’t all sunshine and roses all the time but they weren’t “killing each other” forever.
Islam was far more tolerant to other faiths than Christianity was, and it wasn’t until the Nakba that Palestinians put up even a bit of (overdue and absolutely justified) resistance.
