Poll: Most Aussies Seem Able to Cut Through the BS on The Arab-Israeli Conflict

According to a new poll from YouGov Galaxy (a subsidiary of UK pollsters YouGov), a very small percentage of Australians favor recognizing a palestinian state unilaterally, with an equal percentage favoring never recognizing one at all.

Note while the largest percentage are not sure, the second largest percentage support one only after a peace agreement between Israel and the PA. Also of real interest: this even applies for Australian Labour Party voters while their party looks likely to adopt a platform of recognizing a Palestinian state on a national level.

But there’s more. The poll also reveals:

[*]A majority of Labor voters also backed the US-supported position of moving Israel’s capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem

[*]Only 7% of voters believed the greatest obstacle to peace was Israeli settlements, with three times as many claiming it was Palestinian rejection of Israel’s right to exist

[*]52% of all voters back the view that either some or all of the criticism of Israel is motivated by antisemitism
