Public opinion in the United States and polls show the attitude of the Americans towards the apartheid regime of Israel has changed in a tangible manner, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman stated.







According to the latest survey of the University of Maryland, 20% of Republicans and 44% of Democrats consider Israel to be racist, and support for the movement to boycott the Zionist regime has also increased, Nasser Kan'ani tweeted on Sunday.

Public opinion in the United States and polls show a tangible change in the attitude towards the apartheid nature of this regime, Kan'ani noted.

He added that if the American people find enough freedom of expression to express their opinion about the Zionist regime, more amazing results will be obtained.

Americans are entitled to know why the US regime sacrifices the interests of its people and other countries for the sake of the usurping, apartheid, undemocratic, and decaying regime of Israel, he added.

The survey comes amid heightened tensions between the far-right Israeli cabinet led by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the government of US President Joe Biden.

“It is clear that public attitudes about Israel are shifting. The term ‘apartheid’ appears to have become a common term among many Americans, especially Democrats,” said Shibley Telhami, director of the Critical Issues Poll at the University of Maryland.

“And even the BDS movement, which has faced considerable obstacles in the American mainstream, seems to have sizable support among Democrats who expressed their opinion.”
