"Nearly half of Latinos believe that the United States is "too supportive" of Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, a new poll shows.
That was among the findings of a poll released this week by the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding showing broad disparities between the American Jewish and Latino communities when it comes to U.S. involvement in the peace process.
The poll shows that 48.1 percent of Latinos believe the United States is "too supportive" of Israel, while only 14.8 percent of Jewish respondents believed that to be true.
Among Latinos, 18.6 percent described the United States as "not supportive enough" and 55.6 percent of Jews adopted that position. Those who answered the "right level" were 21.7 percent among Latinos and 26.5 percent among Jews.
Asked with which side they sympathized more, 34 percent of Latinos said Israel, as opposed to 77 percent of Jews, and 21.3 of Latinos said the Palestinians, as opposed to 10.9 percent of Jews.
Small percentages in both populations said "neither" or "both," and 28.2 percent of Latinos did not know or would not respond, as opposed to 3.3 percent of Jews."
