"But American Jewish opinion, although not as diverse as that of Jewish Israelis, is more varied on Israel than AIPAC's pronouncements would suggest. According to the November 2007 American Jewish Committee's annual survey of Jewish opinion, 46% of American Jews supported the creation of a Palestinian state, with 43% opposing and 12% not sure--this, in a poll taken just months after Hamas' violent takeover of Gaza. Asked whether they were "willing to compromise on the status of Jerusalem as a united city under Israeli jurisdiction" in a permanent peace deal with the Palestinians, while 58% said no, 36% said yes and 7% were not sure."
