Abstract

This article studies support and concern for the Palestinian people in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, focusing on influence of the variables political self-positioning and knowledge about the conflict, and of the indices of knowledge of the Arab world, direct contact and acceptance of relations with Arab people. Data from an online survey, carried out in July 2020, mainly by Spanish and Argentinian people, were analyzed through multiple linear and logistic regression models. In the analysis, it has been verified that exerts the greatest influence on the support and concern for Palestinians people is knowledge about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which should be taken into account in the design and implementation of awareness strategies. Another remarkable result is that older people and also those who tend to be left-wing express greater support and concern for the Palestinian people.
