Mainline Protestants Have Become More Supportive of Israel
(Dallas Morning News) William McKenzie - A new survey by the University of Akron's John Green reveals mainline Protestants are pretty evenly divided about U.S. policy toward Israel. When asked whether Washington should favor Israel over the Palestinians, 37% of mainliners said no and 33% said yes. By a margin of 14%, more conservative mainliners favor Israel. And moderate mainliners go with Israel by a 2% margin. The more liberal mainliners by a 30% margin don't think the U.S. should favor Israel over the Palestinians. Over time, most mainliners have been trending toward Israel. In the 1992 version of the Akron survey, mainline Protestants were more solidly against Israel. Not now.
