A recent poll conducted by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs found that overall sympathy for Israel among Americans remains high. However, there is concern about the views of young American adults aged 18 to 24, with 51% of them stating that Israel should be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinian Authority to resolve the conflict. The poll also revealed that two-thirds of this demographic view individual Jews and the Jewish people as oppressors.
