Almost half of UK would consider ending a friendship over Israel-Palestine, poll finds

A new poll in the UK reveals that almost half of the people surveyed would consider ending a friendship over differing views on the Israel-Palestine conflict. The survey by More In Common UK found that 43 percent of pro-Palestine respondents and 46 percent of pro-Israel respondents would sever a relationship. Israel's war on Gaza has created a divisive effect in the UK, with many people feeling uncomfortable discussing the issue on social media or with friends. The polling director warned that people with strong views are turning to their own online information sources, making it harder to have conversations based on shared facts.
