New Yorkers scoured the web for information on Palestine-related phrases more than any other state in the US, a new study found.

Since the beginning of the year, New York State has averaged 8,260 monthly searches for terms like “Palestine protests,” “Free Palestine movement,” and “free Palestine flag”—the highest per capita in the nation.

According to an analysis of Google Trends data by Ladah Law, there were over 41 searches for “free Palestine”-related phrases per 100,000 residents in the state.

The most popular phrase in New York, with 3,600 searches, was “Free Palestine,” followed by “Palestine protest,” with 1,600 searches.

Columbia University in New York City became a hotspot for intense anti-Israel protests last year, with similar demonstrations occurring throughout California and other parts of the country.

Other Google entries part of the study included, “free Palestine stickers,” “free Palestine posters” and “is Palestine free?”

Vermont took second place with nearly 34 searches per 100,000 residents and California followed with just under 32, according to the Las Vegas-based firm.

For every 100,000 of California’s nearly 40 million residents, there were approximately 12,570 searches for info on the movement, which spread across the nation following Hamas terrorists’ deadly Oct. 7, 2023 attacks on Israel and subsequent anti-Israel protests.

Behind the Green Mountain and Golden states were Massachusetts, Oregon and Connecticut.

Arkansas saw the fewest searches related to the conflict, according to the findings.
