Good News on How Americans See Israel

The Little Country That Could, the embattled state of Israel, which so many in the media (the BBC, CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times), love to libel, turns out to have a solid base of public support in the United States. Even as outside the media, many — the UN’s Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the UN’s Special Rapporteur On the Condition of Palestinians In The Occupied Territories Francesca Albanese, the EU’s Josep Borrell, Pope Francis, and others — insist on accusing the Jewish state of “ethnic cleansing” and “genocide,” that support is particularly strong among the 18-to-24 year olds, the very people who we have been led to believe have been preoccupied with marching around on campuses yelling “From the river to the sea/Palestine will be free” and “Intifada Forever.”

More on this heartwarming news, including graphical displays of the opinion poll results, can be found here: “Israel is seen more favorably than CNN and the EU by Americans – and young Americans now support Israel more than most other age groups!,” Elder of Ziyon, January 20, 2025:

“Israel is seen more favorably by Americans than the European Union, CNN. MSNBC and X. The gap of favorable over unfavorable is better for Israel than the US Supreme Court, the Department of Justice and Fox News. (If you calculate the percentage of favorable answers over all people who held an opinion, Israel also edges Facebook.)

Given the huge amount of anti-Israel reporting and coverage of anti-Israel events for the past 15 months, this is pretty remarkable….A higher percentage of US voters 18-24 say they support Israel than any other age group under 55.”

Haven’t we all been told that Israel is “losing support,” and that the most anti-Israel cohort consists of the youngest voters? Well, this opinion poll begs — in a big way — to differ. 80% of young people — the 18-to-24 year olds — support Israel, while only 20% support Hamas. Israel has a higher favorability rating among Americans than the European Union, CNN, MSNBC, and X. The gap of favorable over unfavorable is better for Israel than the US Supreme Court, the Department of Justice and Fox News.
