US Jews and US Evangelicals, how do they view the Israel Palestine conflict?

in israel •  3 years ago 

Most of the partisan divide on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict comes from Evangelical Republicans. Non-Evangelical Republicans are fairly close to the average of all Americans.

One of the most pessimistic groups on peace in the conflict is White Evangelicals. Non-Orthodox US Jews actually are nearly as optimistic as Democrats that the two groups can eventually co-exist.

I’m wondering where the option of the two sides co-existing comes from? I’m in favor of Israelis and Palestinians negotiating but I don’t see much evidence that the Palestinians have peaceful co-existence in mind based on their politics and the politics of the wider Muslim world.

Nearly every Palestinian history written by a Palestinian presents Israel as this totally artificial thing while Palestine is this true organic country, despite the area spending thousands of years as a province, that was only messed up because of the “Zionists” coming. Not being able to recognize or deal with the Jewish connections to Israel seems to be not a good sign of co-existence being possible. The people writing these sorts of things are the “liberal” Palestinians. The conservative ones are worse.

Bringing this to the wider Muslim world. The treatment of non-Muslims in Muslim majority countries is nearly universally horrible. There seems to be a belief that the Palestinians would be immune of this because reasons.
