Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses, which gives nearly all U.S. adults a chance of selection.

Republicans and those who lean toward the Republican Party express much more positive views of the Israeli people (78% very or somewhat favorable) than of the Palestinian people (37%), and they view the Israeli government far more favorably (66%) than the Palestinian government (18%).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized size-640-wide is-style-default\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-81584\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2022\/05\/26\/modest-warming-in-u-s-views-on-israel-and-palestinians\/05-26-22_israel-report_0-1-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e5edf1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.1.png?resize=480,363 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.1.png?resize=782,591 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.1.png?resize=960,726 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.1.png?resize=1200,908 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.1.png?resize=1280,968 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.1.png\" alt=\"A chart showing Older Americans express warmer views toward the Israeli people and cooler views toward the Palestinians \" class=\"wp-image-81584 not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e5edf1; width:640px\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By contrast, Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents hold about equally positive views of the Israeli people and Palestinian people (60% and 64% favorable, respectively) and rate Israel\u2019s government on par with the Palestinian government (34% vs. 37%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among both Republicans and Democrats, feelings toward the Israeli and Palestinian governments and the Palestinian people have warmed slightly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2019\/04\/24\/u-s-public-has-favorable-view-of-israels-people-but-is-less-positive-toward-its-government\/\">since 2019<\/a>, while views of the Israeli people have held steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly three-quarters of a century after the founding of the modern state of Israel, the survey finds no clear consensus among Americans about the best possible outcome of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About one-third of the public says splitting the land into two countries \u2013 a version of the \u201ctwo-state solution\u201d long backed by U.S. diplomacy \u2013 would be best (35%). But roughly a quarter (27%) would prefer to see a single state emerge, in most cases with a government comprised jointly of Israelis and Palestinians.

Fully 70% of White evangelicals take that position, more than twice the share of U.S. Jews who answered a similar (but not identical) question in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2021\/05\/11\/u-s-jews-connections-with-and-attitudes-toward-israel\/\">2020 survey<\/a>&nbsp;by saying God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people (32%).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new survey also asked the U.S. public about the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/07\/27\/world\/middleeast\/bds-israel-boycott-antisemitic.html\">boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement<\/a>&nbsp;against Israel.

However, a long impasse has led some U.S. officials, as well as some Israelis and Palestinians, to warn that the vision of two independent states coexisting is in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/12\/29\/world\/middleeast\/israel-palestinians-two-state-solution.html\">danger of collapse<\/a>. For this reason, the survey included a new question asking Americans which of several broad alternatives they would consider to be the best outcome of the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About a third of U.S. adults (35%) say the best possible outcome would be that \u201cthe land is split into two countries, one with an Israeli government and one with a Palestinian government.\u201d A similar share (37%) say they are unsure what the best outcome would be, while fully one-quarter say the best solution would be one country \u2013 either \u201cgoverned jointly by Israelis and Palestinians\u201d (16%) or \u201cwith an Israeli government\u201d (10%). Just 2% say the best outcome would be one country \u201cwith a Palestinian government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roughly equal shares of Republicans and Democrats (including those who lean to each party) favor a two-state solution, saying the best solution is to split the land into two countries with separate governments (34% and 36%, respectively). But Republicans (18%) are far more likely than Democrats (3%) to say the best outcome would be one country with an Israeli government. And Democrats (19%) are slightly more likely than Republicans (13%) to favor an outcome in which a single country would be jointly governed by Israelis and Palestinians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About four-in-ten Catholics (42%), atheists (43%) and agnostics (40%) say the best outcome is splitting the land into two countries, one with an Israeli government and one with a Palestinian government share this view.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the opposite end of the spectrum, White evangelical Protestants are the most likely to say that the best possible outcome is one country (39%), including 28% who say that the best solution would be a single country with an Israeli government. By contrast, just 6% of other Protestants and Catholics take that position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized size-640-wide is-style-default\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-81609\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2022\/05\/26\/modest-warming-in-u-s-views-on-israel-and-palestinians\/05-26-22_israel-report_0-8-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f0f0f0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.8.png?resize=480,431 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.8.png?resize=782,701 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.8.png?resize=960,861 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.8.png?resize=1200,1076 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.8.png?resize=1280,1148 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.8.png\" alt=\"Nearly three-in-ten White evangelical Protestants say best outcome of  Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a single country with an Israeli government \" class=\"wp-image-81609 not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f0f0f0; width:640px\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized size-640-wide is-style-default\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-81627\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2022\/05\/26\/modest-warming-in-u-s-views-on-israel-and-palestinians\/05-26-22_israel-report_0-9-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f0f0f0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.9.png?resize=480,699 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.9.png?resize=782,1139 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.9.png?resize=840,1224 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/05\/05.26.22_Israel.report_0.9.png\" alt=\"Three-in-ten U.S. adults say God gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people\" class=\"wp-image-81627 not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f0f0f0; width:420px\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some Americans\u2019 views toward Israel may be tied to their religious beliefs. Indeed, 30% of all U.S. adults say God gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people, similar to the share of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2021\/05\/11\/u-s-jews-connections-with-and-attitudes-toward-israel\/\">Jewish Americans<\/a>&nbsp;who expressed this view in 2020.[1. Pew Research Center\u2019s 2020 survey of Jewish Americans asked a modified version of this question. In that survey, respondents received the question only if they previously said they believed in God or some higher power or spiritual force in the universe. The question also contained two response options, with slightly different wording in the second statement: \u201cGod gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people\u201d or \u201cGod did not&nbsp;<em>literally<\/em>&nbsp;give the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people\u201d (emphasis added here).] Others say that God did not give the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people (11%); that they do not believe in God (17%); or that they are not sure how to answer the question (41%).[2. This question asked, \u201cWhich comes closer to your view, even if none is exactly right? God gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people; God did not give the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people; I don\u2019t believe in God; Not sure.\u201d Because of differences in question wording, the portion of the public that does not believe in God should not be compared with results of previous Pew Research Center surveys, which typically ask about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2018\/04\/25\/key-findings-about-americans-belief-in-god\/\">belief in God<\/a>&nbsp;in a different way.&nbsp;] <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to say that God gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people (46% vs. 18%). (Previous surveys also have found that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2018\/04\/25\/key-findings-about-americans-belief-in-god\/\">Democrats are less likely than Republicans to believe in God<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White evangelical Protestants are the U.S. religious group most inclined to say God gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people. A solid majority of White evangelicals (70%) take this position, compared with a minority of Black Protestants (36%), White non-evangelical Protestants (31%) and Catholics (25%). Among White evangelicals, those ages 50 and older are especially likely to hold this view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among all survey respondents who believe God gave Israel to the Jewish people, a quarter (25%) say the best outcome of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be a single country with an Israeli government \u2013 well above the 10% of all U.S. adults who favor this outcome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;among-u-s-adults-little-familiarity-with-or-support-for-the-bds-movement&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"among-u-s-adults-little-familiarity-with-or-support-for-the-bds-movement\">Among U.S. adults, little familiarity with \u2013 or support for \u2013 the BDS movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relatively few Americans have heard \u201ca lot\u201d (3%) or \u201csome\u201d (12%) about the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. Three-in-ten say they have not heard much (31%) about it, and 53% have heard nothing at all about the movement. These patterns hold across political parties and religious groups, although U.S. Jews are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2021\/05\/11\/u-s-jews-connections-with-and-attitudes-toward-israel\/\">much more familiar<\/a>&nbsp;with BDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BDS movement, launched by Palestinian groups in 2005, alleges that \u201cIsrael is occupying and colonizing Palestinian land, discriminating against Palestinian citizens of Israel and denying Palestinian refugees the right to return to their homes.\u201d It&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bdsmovement.net\/\">describes its mission<\/a>&nbsp;as working \u201cto end international support for Israel\u2019s oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law\u201d by calling for boycotts of Israeli companies and sporting, cultural and academic institutions.
