Poll Reveals Half of AAPI Community Seeks More U.S. Support for Palestinians

A recent survey indicates a significant portion of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders believe the U.S. favors Israelis too heavily in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

About 49% of AAPI adults feel the U.S. is 'not supportive enough' of Palestinians, compared to 36% of all U.S. adults.
The sentiment for increased Palestinian support is particularly strong among AAPI young adults aged 18 to 34.
Participants express concerns over the humanitarian impact of the Israel-Hamas war, including high civilian casualties and displacement in Gaza.
AAPI advocacy groups have rallied for Palestinian support, reflecting parallels with historical struggles against colonialism and genocide.
The poll also highlights a desire for more balanced U.S. support between Muslim and Jewish communities, with younger AAPI adults more likely to seek increased support for Muslims.
