Sentiment analysis is the field of study that analyses people’s opinions towards products, events, individuals, and their attributes.
The international public opinion with respect to Palestine is still divided and vague.
There are few official opinion polls that were carried out to measure the perception towards Palestine.
Besides, opinion polls have various and well-known limitations such as the small sample size and the difficulty to perform fine-grained analysis of poll results.
Alternatively, this research proposes an analytical study to measure the public's opinion on the Palestinian Issue by analysing Twitter data.
A dataset consisting of hundreds of thousands of tweets were collected from Twitter.
First, sentiment analysis will be performed on the collected tweets.
Second, polarities were analysed at two different levels: country-level and individual level: The country-level analysis aims to explore the country's overall interest in and attitude towards Palestine by: 1) Identifying counties that generate the most Palestine-focused tweets, 2) Measuring the friendliness of each country towards Palestine.
3) Analysing time series data to investigate the changes of attitude over time.
The individual-level analysis aims to analyse data based on the activity of individuals.
The attitudes of both opinion leaders and Arab ethnicities were analysed and discussed in light of the counties' attitudes.
Results have shown that the superpower countries generate the most Palestine-focused tweets but they have less favourable views of Palestine.
Despite the low friendliness scores reported for most countries, high levels of divergence in public opinion were observed, indicating the increasing influence of the pro-Palestinian sectors over the globe.
Furthermore, opinion leaders show more friendly attitudes towards Palestine when compared to the overall country's attitude.
Results also showed that Arab users have more positive attitude towards Palestine than non-Arabs.
However, they have not caused significant changes to the overall attitudes of their countries.
