A significant majority of Americans support Palestine in its defensive war against Zionist barbarity, according to a new poll.
The Stimson-Andromeda survey showed that 66 percent of registered voters said they support an end to Israel's war and occupation of Palestine, while 32 percent said they support Israel more. That is a significant change in the poll findings of six months ago, when 52 percent indicated they support Israel more.
In this month’s poll, younger age groups were much more likely to be supportive of Palestine than older respondents, indicating a radical change in America's long-standing monolithic blind support for Israel. In fact, polled people in the past feared retaliation if they expressed their support for Palestine. But like a political me-too sea change, the political word has been liberated: younger Americans do not assume the guilt of their parents and grandparents, have no emotional bruises from what the Germans did to their own Jewish citizens during WWII, and they are perhaps the first generation to be emancipated from the Zionist blackmail that keeps the US like a pathetic underling to the Zionist power-that-be. They look at the conflict in Palestine and see only one rogue thuggish side - Israel - armed to the teeth with their own taxes, and can objectively tell right from wrong. They have no guilt baggage that has blinded the previous generations to the tragedy and the heartache that Israel's violent Palestine-rape creation has caused, and continues to cause.
Support for Israel was the lowest among the youngest age groups. Pollsters found 32 percent of those 25 to 34 and 29 percent of those 18 to 24 said they support Israel more, while the rest of those age groups said they support Palestine more.
The poll’s results come as numerous
pro-Palestinian protests have popped up on college campuses throughout
the country. Students have set up encampments to protest for days at
schools including Columbia and New York University. University administrators, who should know better since they are the educated custodians of academic freedom and objective reasoning, are failing by adotping a militaristic repressive approach to the student movement. Unfortunately, they too have no history to be able to gauge the truth without bias. Just like their predecessors who failed time and time again to seize the moment to implement radical change in their mercantile commercial approach to education and research.
