Canadian public opinion on the Arab-Israel conflict is, for the most part, neutral. In 2002, a study by GPC International found that 61 percent of Canadians say they are indifferent or non-committal, 19 percent side with Israel, and 20 percent sympathize with the Palestinians. Of those most familiar with the conflict, 32 percent identify themselves as pro-Palestinian, and 26 percent as pro-Israel.
In 2005, when Gallup Poll asked Canadians who their sympathies are with most in the conflict, 34% sympathized most with Israel, 30% sympathized most with Palestinian Arabs, and 36% answered both/neither/no opinion.

Wow.
