Almost entirely Pro Israel, I only know some people who support Palestine but the majority are pretty hardcore Israel supporters (I am Gen Z btw). I should note that a lot of people in my area are Palestinian Christian and do not support anyone in the war. The main people (who I know) who support Palestine are Muslim or anti Western leftists and I only met these people through college.

It should also be noted that I live in a rural area in Texas, there are many Israel flags that people fly in their yards, I have yet to see a Palestinian flag.

I rarely bring it up outside the forum, but I'd say around 50/50 with the Pro-Palestine people seeming more passionate about it and most of the Pro-Israel people taking a similar position that Biden has.

As with many others here, it's not exactly something I go around asking about. However, I can only think of one acquaintance who is publicly and loudly pro-Israel. Most other people who have commented on it are, at the very least, somewhere along the lines of "Israel has now gone too far."

One of my Arab acquaintances is a local businessman who might be pro-Israel, but I can’t say for sure. I’ve only interacted with him a few times, and just briefly in formal settings to take care of financial matters. But he was chatty enough to talk about himself, and he happens to an Arab originally from Israel, and very much a born-again evangelical Christian, who’s not shy about clearly stating his belief that you must believe in Jesus to go to heaven.

Unless you know first hand a Jewish person, which I don't, is really, really difficult to find someone who is pro Israel here, unless you move in very particular circles (high income people who are not of Arab descent)

I think that some evangelicals are pro Israel in the region and maybe some particular people (like me).

the only person I know who's very outspoken about it is my mom and she's very pro-palestine here.

Given the city I live in, the football team I support, the party I'm a member of, the ideological circles I move in, my age etc, most people I know lean more favourably on the Palestinian side.

My parents are various degree of pro-Israel, my sister is too complicated to figure out but seemingly anti-both, some of my closest friends are "in the middle" more or less like me. I can't think of anyone else I have discussed the topic with in a long time (although if I had to guess the divide between extended family and other friends would be overwhelming).

I don't have a big circle of friends or people I know on a social basis. The majority are probably apathetic on the matter.

It should also be noted that I live in a rural area in Texas, there are many Israel flags that people fly in their yards, I have yet to see a Palestinian flag.

Imagine traveling back in time to 1920s—or even 1960s—small-town Texas, and telling the proud, patriotic, Christian locals that someday, their descendants will unapologetically display the flag of the world’s only Jewish state—and the flag will even have a Star of David on it!

Of the people who are strongly pro-Israel and pro-Palestine, at least 75% are pro-Palestine.

The vast majority of people I know, however, are generally of the "war and violence bad" type (not a fan of 10/7 or what happened after, like any non-sociopath). Obviously some variation exists within this category.

Most people I know think the human suffering each side suffers is tragic. However, there's no pro-Israel goons vandalizing sh**t all over the city so...
