With the Internet and the democratization of information having opened up historical archives and records long inaccessible to the average individual, the Zionist monopoly over the narrative on Palestine for the past 100 years has been broken.
Fictional slogans such as "a people without land to a land without people" (when in fact Palestinians made up 95% of the population pre-Zionist invasion), or a "return" of the Jews to Palestine after 3,000 years (based on biblical garbage that most people can't even countenance), or Israel "had to be created" to shelter the Jews after the German Holocaust (when the Zionist colonial project began in the late 19th century long before the Holocaust), or portraying the indigenous Palestinians who are simply resisting the rape and loss of their country as "terrorists" (when the Zionists had a slew of terror organizations imported from Europe - Haganah, Irgun, Stern Gang, Lehi group... - to terrorize, kill, displace millions of Palestinians and erase Palestinian nationhood)....
All those notions that were shoved down the throat of the international community for some 80 years now, peddled by Hollywood and western media entirely beholden to the Zionist movement, have eroded as people see the tradegy of the Palestinians unfolding live on their screens and witness first-hand the barbarity and inhumanity of the Zionist colony in Palestine. After seeing what the Zionists did and continue to do in Palestine as you read these lines, people around the world now understand that all the above fictions were lies and that the "birth" of Israel in 1948 was not a "war of liberation" but a gigantic colonial campaign of mass killings, ethnic cleansing and genocide against an unarmed and poorly organized resistance by the indigeous population.
In 1918, England "sold" Palestine to wealthy colonial European Zionists who were itching to have their me-too colony somewhere in the third world, just like their Christian European brothers in France, England, Germany, Belgium, Spain... and all their "empires" in Asia, Latin America, the Near East and Africa. England did not own Palestine to give it away; it was merely given a fiduciary mandate over it by the League of Nations to assist the Palestinians in building their country's institutions after 402 years (1516-1918) of Ottoman Turkish occupation.
The French were given the exact same mandate over Lebanon. Whereas the French did in effect come to Lebanon in 1918, help the Lebanese write a constitution and build state institutions and infrastructure before leaving in 1946, the crooks of the English mandate took money from Zionist European bankers and financiers, granted the so-called "Jewish people" the land of Palestine to create a "homeland" and turned a blind eye to the atrocities committed by the Zionist invaders against the indigenous Palestinian population. There is no such thing as a "Jewish people"; there are many different ethnic populations in all parts of the globe that adhere to the Jewish faith, but that does not constitute a "people" any more than there is a "Christian people" or a "Muslim" people. Judaism is not an ethnicity; it is simply a religion.
Add to all the above the fact that whereas Jews lived among Arabs for millennia without any problem, it was the Europeans who invented "antisemitism", the Indo-European 'Christian' hatred of all Semites like Jews, Arabs, Phoenicians, Syrians, Egyptians, etc. That hatred has been around ever since the early Christians blamed the Jews for the death of Jesus. Although the persecution of Jews by Europeans spanned two millennia, the climax of antisemitism was the Holocaust perpetrated by the Germans and their French, Italian, Spanish, and other Fascist collaborators between the mid-1800s and mid-1900s.
The Holocaust cannot be reduced to what the Nazis did to the Jews of Europe, often refraining from naming the "Germans" because Germany is now the Jewish-colony-in-Palestine's best friend. By using "Nazis", the Germans are exculpated. The Holocaust was a pan-European enterprise and all Europeans partook in the crime: France, Holland, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Poland, the Baltic States, Ukraine and many other Europeans who today shed crocodile tears over Israel's barbarity in Palestine. One ought not be suprised by the European support to the Zionist rapists of Palestine: The Christian Europeans got rid of their European Jews in the Holocaust and dumped them in the Near East; they can't possibly want them back. So, they support Israel because, one, they hate the Jews and two, Israel is the guarantee that those Jews would never return to their European homelands.
In exchange, the Zionists cultivate the Holocaust guilt in the Europeans (and by extension on the West in general), and exploit this guilt to in turn perpetrate their own Holocaust against the Palestinians. The Europeans don't even dare to try and prevent the tragedy unfolding of Palestine. Americans by and large have their heads so deep up the Zionist GI tract that they are the most blind to what the Zionists are doing to the indigenous population of Palestine.
For at least two millennia, Jews lived in peace and harmony in what are today Arab Muslim lands. Before Islam, many Arab tribes in the peninsula were Jewish and some converted to Christianity. By the time Islam was born, there was a Christian bishop in Mecca. The Arabs occupied much of Spain for nearly eight centuries, from 711 AD until 1492 AD where they established a culture, particularly in Andalusia, in which Muslims and Jews lived side by side, just as they always did in the Near East itself. Every city of the Near East, the Arabian peninsula and North Africa had a thriving Jewish community: Alexandria, Beirut, Istanbul, Cairo, Tunis, Damascus, Baghdad, etc. For millennia there was never a hint of hatred towards Jews; in fact, Judaic and Islamic traditions are nearly identical, and the two "tribes" (Arab and Jew) hail from a common nomadic ancestor in the Arabian peninsula. The Hebrew and Arabic languages are virtually identical, and the two alphabets they use are derivatives of a common ancestral script. Why would Arabs and Muslims suddenly begin to hate Jews some time during the 20th century after co-existing with them for many millennia? The only element that stands out is western colonial interference and its implant of a Western Jewish colony in Palestine for two reasons: 1- For antisemitic Christian Europe to get rid of its Jewish population, and 2- To recruit those Jewish refugees as colonial mercenary guards over the oil fields nearby. And to do both of those things, the indigenous Palestinian population needed to be eliminated and replaced by "settlers". As we write these lines, the indiogenous Palestinian population is being decimated by the colonial Zionists, and the Zionist colony is bombing Iran on behalf of an oil-thirsty American, Donald Trump, who would siphon off Iranian oil like he is doing with Venezuela.
Have you ever wondered why Palestinian places are called "villages" and "towns" while Zionist places are called "settlements"? A village invokes history over centuries and millennia: Stone houses and olive groves deeply rooted in the land. In contrast, a "settlement" is a brand new soulless place built by newcomers with no attachment to the land other than through some inane pronouncements from the Bronze Age in garbage religious texts.
It took a century for the colonial face of Zionism to be exposed. Its racism is not from authentic Judaism itself as much as it is from the European colonial view of the world. Zionists are anti-Arab racists not because they are Jews, but because they are European colonial rapists.
All of the above explains in part why people around the world, and in the United States in particular, are now coming to terms with what really happened to Palestine over the past century. The veil of misinformation and propaganda has been lifted, and people make reasonable judgments when given access to the historical facts.
Two more facts:
1- The European "Jews", a.k.a. Israelis, are genetically and culturally unrelated to the original Hebrews-Jews of Bronze Age Palestine. European Jews are relatively recent converts to the Jewish religion. They are Indo-Europeans, not Semites. They have blond and red hair and light-colored eyes, they dress like Eastern Europeans and Russians, and they speak a distorted form of Hebrew whose original sounds they cannot produce. They do NOT share the Semitic traits of other Near Eastern Semites .. There are literally hundreds of articles on the Internet posted by Zionist propaganda trying to debunk the "Khazar hypothesis" of the origin of Ashkenazi Jews. The mere number of these propaganda articles tell you how desperate Zionists are at keeping their origins a secret. Their claim of a "return" is a non-sequitur since it is based on religion and not on ethnicity. If a non-Christian, say in Indonesia, converts to Catholicism today, can he lay a claim to owning the Vatican simply because he is "now" a Catholic? But that is precisely what those European Jewish converts claim: The moment they converted to Judaism, Palestine became theirs because Jews lived and ruled there for a couple of hundred years some 3,000 years ago. It is those recent converts to Judaism that became Europe's Jews, the so-called Ahskenazi Jews, who lead the Zionist movement and invasion of Palestine.
2- When Rome destroyed the Hebrew Temple circa 70 AD in Jerusalem, it is often assumed that the entire Jewish population packed up and left to settle everywhere else in western Asia, Europe and Africa. Palestine would have become depopulated. But the facts are otherwise: Palestine was never empty of people, and there is not one shred of historical evidence (records, written accounts, archaeology...) of a massive Jewish migration out of Palestine after the destruction of the Temple.
If it were true that the Jews left Palestine, then they (or their fake descendants) can no longer claim ownership of the land after 2,000 years of absenteeism. The reality is that when invaded by a foreign occupier, most people do not leave their land. Look at the Palestinians after the brutal Zionist invasion and persecution: They're still there. Look at the Palestinians after the Crusader invasions, they stayed there. People stay, adjust, accommodate themselves and continue to live. The Jews of Palestine stayed in Palestine after the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. When Rome adopted Christianity as its official religion (mid-300s AD), it began persecuting those (Jews and pagans) who refused to convert: people under the new Christian Roman rule were given two options: Either convert to Christianity or die. The Jews of Roman Palestine converted and became Christians (the ancestors of the few remaining Palestinian Christians of today). When 300 years later (mid-600s AD) the Arab Muslims arrived in Palestine, most of the now Christianized Jews became Muslims, again by coercion. Which means that today's Christian and Muslim Palestinians are the real descendants of the original Jews of Bronze Age Palestine. Which means that the fake Indo-European Jews we now know as Israelis are persecuting the original Semitic Jews of Palestine who are now Christians and Muslims.

A new Gallup poll shows how Americans' sympathies have shifted in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

WASHINGTON (AP) — American sympathies in the Middle East have shifted dramatically toward the Palestinians, according to new Gallup polling, after decades of overwhelming support for the Israelis.
That shift accelerated during the war in Gaza. Three years ago, 54% of Americans sympathized more with the Israelis, compared with 31% for the Palestinians.
Now, their support is about evenly balanced, with 41% saying their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians, and only 36% saying the same about the Israelis.
The numbers reflect how support for Israel has become deeply contentious in the U.S., with profound implications for American politics and foreign policy. The changing sentiment has been largely driven by Democrats, who are now much more likely to sympathize with Palestinians. U.S. assistance to Israel has been a major dividing line in the party’s primaries this year.
Gallup’s data indicates that the shift was already happening before Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, then increased during Israel’s subsequent military operations in Gaza. The polling has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, meaning sentiment toward Israelis and Palestinians are roughly even.
“It’s the first time they have reached parity, which is really quite striking,” said Benedict Vigers, a senior global news writer at Gallup. “In not many years, that very significant gap in public opinion has now completely closed.”
Democrats and independents
About two-thirds of Democrats now say their concerns lie more with the Palestinians, while only about 2 in 10 sympathize more with the Israelis. As recently as 2016, the picture looked very different: About half of Democrats sympathized more with the Israelis and only about one-quarter sympathized with the Palestinians.
The shift began even before the Israel-Hamas war turned the issue into a flash point within the Democratic Party. Palestinian militants killed around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in the initial attack and took another 251 hostage, but the Israeli response has been widely seen as disproportionate, with Gaza health officials reporting more than 72,000 Palestinians killed, nearly half of them women and children, and wide swaths of the territory reduced to rubble. Many progressive politicians and activists now describe Israel’s actions in the war as genocide — a charge Israel vehemently denies.
Democrats have expressed greater sympathy for the Palestinians than the Israelis since 2023 — in a Gallup poll that was conducted before the Oct. 7 attacks — but Gallup’s surveys show their support in the conflict has been tilting toward the Palestinians and away from the Israelis since around 2017.
Some of that early decline in sympathy appeared to be tied to disapproval of the right-leaning Israeli leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose favorability in the U.S. fell nearly 15 percentage points between 2017 and 2024, according to separate Gallup polling.
Netanyahu clashed with former President Barack Obama in the last year of his administration, then forged a warmer relationship with President Donald Trump, who delivered several victories to Netanyahu in his first term, including recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Trump also persuaded three Arab countries to establish commercial and diplomatic ties with Israel. The closeness between Trump and Netanyahu has continued into Trump’s second term.
The conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians was a point of tension for Democrats during President Joe Biden’s administration, as well as during the 2024 presidential election. An AP-NORC poll conducted toward the end of 2023, just a few months into the war in Gaza, found that Democrats were sharply divided on whether the U.S. was too supportive of Israel, and another AP-NORC poll from 2024 found that Democratic voters were more likely to say the Israeli government held “a lot” of responsibility for the war’s escalation.
Democrats’ sympathy for the Palestinians intensified as the war progressed, Gallup’s polling shows, and independents’ views also shifted. This year, independents expressed more sympathy for the Palestinians than the Israelis for the first time in Gallup’s trend. About 4 in 10 independents are more sympathetic toward the Palestinians. That’s compared to about 3 in 10 for the Israelis, a new low.
Most Republicans continue to side with Israel — about 7 in 10 say they are more sympathetic to the Israelis — but that is a slight downtick from about 8 in 10 before the start of the war. Some figures in the Republicans’ isolationist “America First” wing are also increasingly questioning traditional U.S. support for Israel.
Generational gaps
Younger adults — those 18 to 34 in this poll — are also increasingly sympathetic toward the Palestinians, according to the Gallup survey.
Younger Americans’ sympathies have been shifting toward the Palestinians since around 2020, and reached a new high this year. About half of 18 to 34 year olds say they have more sympathy for the Palestinians, compared to about a quarter who say that about the Israelis.
Student protests against the Israel-Hamas war appeared on college campuses around the country during the war, asking colleges to cut investments supporting Israel.
But the shift is only “partly a generational story,” according to Vigers.
The new poll also found for the first time that middle-aged Americans, those 35 to 54, expressed more sympathy for the Palestinians than the Israelis — a reversal from last year. And while Americans over 55 are more sympathetic toward Israel, that gap is narrowing, too.
“With adults over 55, they are more sympathetic to Israelis, but it’s as low as it’s been since 2005,” Vigers said.
Palestinian state
About 6 in 10 U.S. adults, 57%, favor the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, according to the new polling. That is not significantly different from recent years, as at least half of U.S. adults have supported an independent Palestinian state since 2020.
Vigers notes that “party polarization is at or near its record high” on this question, even though it hasn’t been sharply increasing year over year.
In recent years, Americans’ have also grown less likely to say they have a favorable view of Israel, while their positive views of the Palestinian territories have improved. Still, Americans remain more positive toward Israel: Some 46% of Americans have a favorable opinion of Israel, compared with 37% who say that about the Palestinian territories.
In the past few years, there’s been an uptick among Democrats and independents in support for the two-state solution. Now, about three-quarters of Democrats and roughly 6 in 10 independents say they support an independent Palestinian state. Only about one-third of Republicans say the same.
The opinions of the people who would be directly affected by a two-state solution are quite different. Only about 3 in 10 Israelis living in Israel and Palestinians living in the West Bank and east Jerusalem said they supported a two-state solution in which an independent Palestinian state existed alongside Israel, according to the Gallup World Poll conducted in 2025.
“On the ground, in the region, far fewer Israelis and Palestinians tell us that they are in favor of the two-state solution than Americans when asked a very similar question,” Vigers said. “There is that interesting sort of disconnect between the region itself and Americans’ views toward it.”
