idk, I have a hard time taking any poll of Americans seriously when it comes to foreign policy in general and Palestine/Israel in particular. Talk to any American for five minutes about the wider world and you’ll quickly realize you may as well be talking to a beagle.
Even when they are honest and can admit they don’t actually know what’s going on in other countries, they will still feel they are entitled to have an opinion on it and that their opinion is correct.
I guess it depends on the demographics. At my college, there are many black, Hispanic, and Arab students. Almost all of the ones I’ve spoken to are sympathetic towards Palestine.
White people will be weirder about their stances, because as you said, the ones who don’t understand the problem will still end up taking a side due to vibes. The East/southeast Asians I’ve talked to are usually too focus on securing that Lockheed internship to really care.
I got on to my mil about Russia Ukraine a month ago, asking if she knew what eumaidan was or knew anything about Crimea or Donbas. Absolutely no knowledge of any, not even an idea which were places or events. She agreed she didn't know even the basic history and didn't bring it up the rest of the week. Que thanksgiving and she's talking about it again, ask again about those 3, still no clue.
Nope, I'd be surprised if she remembered any of the terms long enough to even attempt to look them up afterwards because she doesn't care to. If it's not on CNN it's not real. Funnily enough though, she's incredibly pissed Joe lied and is going for a second term although there are no real solutions she could come up with and will still dutifully vote for him. A real gem was "it seems like they don't even want to win!"

The people who think Taiwan is in New Zealand also have an opinion on Israel and Palestine.
That's a very broad definition of "correct" on that map lmao.
Yeah why the hell do you pick the ocean instead of the island right there?? Were people asked to use a really tiny touchscreen??
Smh can't believe this map doesn't state that all of mainland china belongs to Taiwan.

My bad, I did the thing where I said “Americans” when I should have said “white Americans”.
Shame on you for your
erasure.

Had she looked up euromaidan since then?
Not op, but no, no she haven't.
