Israelis worry about weakening connection with younger Jewish Americans
The AP-NORC poll found only about 4 in 10 religious Jewish adults under 45 say supporting Israel is central to their identity.
- An AP-NORC poll reveals Israelis are worried about a weakening connection with younger Jewish Americans, who consider support for Israel less crucial to their identity than older adults.
- The decline in support became stark following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack, when militants killed 1,200 people and abducted 251 others, reshaping how younger Jewish adults perceive Israel.
- Data from 1,022 Jewish adults found that only about 4 in 10 religious adults under 45 view supporting Israel as 'extremely' or 'very' important, dropping to 2 in 10 among unaffiliated adults.
- To strengthen personal ties, Taglit-Birthright Israel offers free 10-day 'discovery' tours; Itai Nixon, who leads the diaspora department for Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, calls such programs the 'gold standard.'
- Divisions over the war against Iran have weakened Jewish Israelis' belief that President Donald Trump prioritizes Israel's security, falling from 64% in March to 26% in June.
