A Divided House: The Shift in US Public Opinion on Israel and Palestine The recent vote in the US House of Representatives to cut off aid to Israel was rejected, but it highlights a deeper divide within the Democratic Party and among the American public.

Public opinion is shifting significantly. According to Gallup tracking polls, for the first time ever, Americans have expressed more sympathy towards Palestinians (41%) than Israelis (36%).
