Support for Israel isn’t a high priority for younger Jewish Americans, an AP-NORC poll finds
Younger religious Jewish adults are more likely to value holidays and Shabbat than support for Israel, while about 4 in 10 say Israel is highly important.
- A new AP-NORC poll of 1,022 Jewish adults reveals a stark generational divide on Israel, with younger religious Jewish adults prioritizing cultural connections like holiday celebrations over state support, while older generations maintain strong ties.
- Since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack that triggered the war in Gaza, the generational divide on Israel's actions has extended beyond politics to religious identity itself.
- Susan Boyer, 72, from Southern California, views Israel as a vital refuge against Holocaust-like massacres, while Ari Pollack, 30, from Wisconsin, opposes Israel's military operations, alleging they provide "fodder for antisemitism."
- Among the 68% of adults who identify as religiously Jewish, about 6 in 10 older individuals emphasize supporting Israel, whereas only about 4 in 10 younger religious Jewish adults prioritize that bond.
- Phoebe Wapnitsky, 32, of Connecticut, and 27-year-old Cameron Bernstein of New Orleans exemplify this shift, emphasizing social justice and community over political allegiance to Israel within their understanding of Judaism.
