Four in 10 Britons would consider ending friendships over views on Israel-Palestine
The Israel-Palestine conflict continues to divide the nation as almost half of Britons say they would consider ending a friendship over the issue.
Researchers from the think tank More in Common UK said polling suggested people with strong views have become more entrenched in the two years since the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel and subsequent war in Gaza.
Of around 2,000 adults in Great Britain polled last month, around four in 10 (43 per cent) of those who sympathise with Palestine said they would consider ending a friendship with someone who posted on social media in support of Israel. A similar proportion (46 per cent) of those who sympathise with Israel said they would consider doing the same over a pro-Palestine post.

Britons are willing to end friendships over the Israel-Palestine war, new polling has found.

Some 46 per cent of those who supported Israel said they would do the same if a friend showed support for Palestine.
The study also found that 44 per cent of people felt the UK was unsafe for Jewish people, while 37 per cent said it was unsafe for Muslims.
Researchers said the findings also suggested the public’s “patience for disruptive protest is wearing thin” because of the conflict.

Britain’s asylum crackdown shows the hardliners have gone mainstream
