Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Poll: Americans, Europeans Have Negative View of Israel A new survey from Pew Research found that in the US and several European countries, a growing number of adults have negative views of Israel. Tel Aviv’s image in the US has declined throughout the 20-month onslaught in Gaza. In the US, 53 percent of Americans have a very unfavorable or somewhat unfavorable view of Israel, against 45 percent who had a positive view. Among Western nations, in the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden, nearly four in five adults have a negative opinion of the Jewish State. Of the 24 nations polled, only Indians, Kenyans, and Nigerians had a positive view of Israel. Overall, two out of three people surveyed had a negative sentiment of Tel Aviv. In the US, there was the largest split between adults who identified themselves as on the right or left. Only 30 percent of Americans on the right said they had a negative view of Israel, compared to 77 percent of respondents on the left. The margin was the widest of any country polled. A Pew poll released in April had a slightly tighter margin, finding that 69 percent of Democrats viewed Israel unfavorably, while only 37 percent of Republicans said the same. That survey found a wide split in the Republican party, with 50 percent of right-wing American adults under 50 expressing a negative opinion of Tel Aviv. Poster Comment: A CNN investigation into a deadly incident near an aid distribution site in southern Gaza on Sunday points to the Israeli military opening fire on crowds of Palestinians as they tried to make their way to the fenced enclosure to get food. More than a dozen eyewitnesses, including those wounded in the attack, said Israeli troops shot at crowds in volleys of gunfire that occurred sporadically through the early hours of Sunday morning. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the US and Israeli-backed aid initiative that runs the site, said that Israeli forces were operating in the area during the same period. Multiple videos geolocated by CNN place the gunfire near a roundabout where hundreds of Palestinians had gathered about half a mile (800 meters) away from the militarized aid site in Tel al-Sultan in Rafah. The designated route to the site along the coast, Al-Rasheed Street, is in an area under the Israeli military’s control and Israeli troops operate at a base nearby. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/04/middleeast/israel-military-gaza-aid-shooting- intl-invs Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
