Support for Israel is less important for younger Jewish Americans, AP-NORC poll finds

A new AP-NORC poll reveals a generational divide among Jewish Americans regarding the importance of supporting Israel. Older Jewish adults (45+) prioritize Israel's role in their religious identity, while younger adults (under 45) emphasize other aspects like celebrating Jewish holidays. The survey highlights how views on Israel's actions since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack and the Gaza war reflect broader shifts in Jewish identity.
