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

A new AP-NORC poll finds that younger Jewish Americans prioritize celebrating Jewish holidays over supporting Israel as part of their religious identity, contrasting with older Jewish adults (ages 45+) who view Israel support as central to their Jewish identity. The generational divide extends to views on Israel's actions since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack, with younger religious Jewish adults emphasizing holidays more than support for Israel.
