Aid to Israel is now a highly polarizing issue, a poll conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the pro-Zionist Israel Democracy Institute have found. The survey taken last month found that the US government's deferential treatment of Israel is completely out of line and unrepresentative of popular opinion. On the question of whether to restrict US military aid to Israel, 50% of all Americans support ending such support, compared to 45% who oppose it. Among supporters of aid restrictions are 32% of registered Republicans, 62% of Democrats, and 52% of Independents. This is a drastic rise from historical opinion polls for all political persuasions right, left and center. In respects to the Israel-Palestine conflict itself, only 32% of Americans believe the US government should be getting involved on Israel's side. by Eric Striker
