In-Faustus-wars will be on the wrong side of history. They will evaporate. And then be no more.
But still a long way to go. Check out the last sentence in the quote: while support for Israel has fallen, support for Palestine remains unchanged, and at a disappointing low of just 21%. With just less than 10 months to go before Gaza is expected to become uninhabitable, this may be too little too late, but still very welcome. Who knows what could happen.
Perhaps Putin will decide that guaranteeing the security of Israel isn't such a smart move, and then donate billions to Palestine?
The American people’s support for Israel has fallen to its lowest level in the past decade, a new poll has found, indicating that President Donald Trump’s many controversial decisions to boost ties with Tel Aviv is alienating people back at home.
The new Gallup poll released Wednesday found that 59 percent of Americans said they were “more sympathetic” towards Israel on the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
This marks a sharp decline from last year, when 65 percent of the American public sided with the Tel Aviv regime.
...The decline was seen among both Democrats and Republicans, however, followers of Trump’s own party posted the sharpest decrease.
While among Democrats, feelings of sympathy for Israel went down by a total of six percent, Republican support fell by 11 percent.
..“The percentage of Republicans saying they sympathize more with Israel in the conflict fell from an all-time high of 87 percent in 2018 to 76 percent today,” the poll said.
The percentage of people who identified as political independents remained the same over the last year, with 60% sympathizing more with Israel.
The number of Americans who said they supported Palestine remained unchanged at 21 percent.
