About half of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in the United States believe the country is giving too much support of Israelis and not enough for Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, according to a poll that shows those views are dominant among young adults.
The majority of Asian and Pacific Islander adults between the ages of 18 and 34 share these views.
Some Asian Americans see parallels with family members' struggles with colonialism or genocide in Asian countries.
When it comes to Jewish communities, 44% of AAPI adults say U.S. support is about right, while 26% say it's not supportive enough.
This view was also shared by most AAPI adults under age 35.
