1. No surprises why Palestinians don't have the warm fuzzies about the US....

When the US Congress supports the slaughter of Palestinian civilians and omits even a passing mention of them in its disgusting Resolution, I doubt anyone would expect them to like the US...

2. El Salvador ?

That's pretty shocking considering how much death we caused in that country.

3. How is Palestine not near 100% unfavorable?

66% seems low.
