Attitudes and affective polarization towards Israel in the war in relation to party identification among the German population

This bachelor thesis examines the relationship between attitudes and affective polarization towards Israel in regards to party identification in Germany, in the broader context of the Israel-Gaza war. It is using data from the Berlin Polarization Monitor, a nationwide web-based panel survey of 4,000 German citizens. It aims to investigate whether party identification plays a role in how German citizens feel about Israel, especially during the Israel-Gaza war. A difference in attitudes and polarization, depending on which party the person identifies with, is to be expected. However, while answers to political issues are often dependent on whether people identify as right-or left-leaning, outcomes regarding Israel could be similar for party identifiers on the hard-left and hard-right.
