The Cairo Review:
US public experiencing opinion shift toward Palestine

The Cairo Review of Global Affairs published an article called “How American Public Opinion on Palestine Shifted” written by Geneive Abdo to examine the growing support for the Palestinian nation among the American society despite the fact that pro-Palestine groups are facing pressures from Zionist lobbyists and their advocates in the United States.
Tehran, Qodsna - A new pro-Palestinian coalition has emerged, drawing support from various activist groups, including younger generations, women's rights advocates, Black Lives Matter supporters, indigenous rights advocates, and Latino and other people of color communities. This coalition has mobilized thousands of demonstrators and gained visibility on American radio stations, challenging the pro-Zionist mainstream media's biased coverage.
The younger generation of Arab and Muslim activists, who have grown up in a post-9/11 era, are more empowered, engaged in their communities, and adept at using social media to amplify their voices. Despite the growing support for Palestinians among the American public, there has been a surge in hate crimes and threats against Arabs and Muslims in the US, surpassing the levels seen after 9/11.
In response to the shifting public opinion, pro-Zionism Jewish-American groups have launched aggressive campaigns to discredit their opponents, pouring millions of dollars into efforts to influence public opinion, media coverage, and political discourse. They have targeted universities, media outlets, and individuals who express support for Palestinians, resorting to tactics such as ad campaigns, blacklisting, and labeling critics as anti-Semites or worse.
The Zionist-Palestinian conflict has become a polarizing issue in the US, with a growing divide between those advocating for Palestinian rights and those staunchly supporting the Zionist regime. The situation has led to intense debates on college campuses, with some universities facing pressure to restrict speech critical of the regime. The polarization of opinions on this issue is likely to have long-term implications for US politics, potentially impacting the 2024 election and beyond.
Overall, the emergence of a vocal pro-Palestinian coalition and the changing dynamics in American public opinion have the potential to reshape the political landscape, presenting challenges for traditional pro-Zionism forces and the Biden administration. The scenario reflects a significant shift in attitudes toward the Zionist-Palestinian conflict, with implications for the future of US politics and the treatment of Arab and Muslim communities in the country.
