The Politicus
But the huge noise of these protests obscures the truth: Most Americans aren’t antisemitic, certainly not Hamas supporters. Many of them, from the East Coast to California, don’t differentiate between Hamas and hummus.
I wonder, if there are any studies on how much Americans know about Israel and Palestine. For example:
- How many Americans can point Israel on the map?
- How many are aware that Gaza and West Bank are distinct territories?
- Are Americans aware of the predicament of the Palestinian refugees in the larger Arab world (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt)?
- Do Americans think Israel is a democratic state, a dictatorship or a theocracy?
- Do Americans know which Palestinian movements are secular, pro-democratic, renounced terror, and which have not done so?
- Is there significantly greater awareness of these issues among the people with higher level of education - e.g., those who take part in protests on the University campuses?
Similar data about other countries are also of interest.
