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.

Overview

  • 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.
