In 2022, 42% of American adults held an unfavorable view of Israel. That number has risen over 10 percentage points in the last three years, with 53% of adults now saying they hold somewhat or very unfavorable views of Israel.
This shift in public opinion is even more pronounced among young voters. Today, half of Republicans under 50 hold unfavorable views of Israel, up 15 percentage points from just 35% three years ago. Nearly three-fourths of Democrats under 50 hold unfavorable views of Israel.
Another poll conducted in March 2025 shows that less than half of Americans (46%) said they sympathize more with Israelis than with Palestinians — the lowest in 25 years. The percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Palestinians than Israelis has more than doubled in that time. Today, 40% of Americans believe that Israel is intentionally killing civilians in Gaza, up from just 22% in December 2023. A poll conducted in August showed 41% of Americans believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
What we do have excellent access to is the fact that current Israeli policy is being driven by extreme ideologues.Not at all surprised.
Either we can believe the UN, DOZENS of aid organizations with boots on the ground; doctors in hospitals; agents supporting indivdiuals; data supporting it.
Or we have to believe Israel because muslims can't be trusted.
If you set yourself up like that, at some point, things will not go your way.
Yes! I agree. I TOTALLY agree that many Israelis do NOT support what is happenning in Gaza right now.What we do have excellent access to is the fact that current Israeli policy is being driven by extreme ideologues.
For me, that helps validate many of the claims now being made against Israel.
I still support Israel.Some interesting poll results in this article from Jewish Voice for Peace

The majority of Americans still support Isreal, despite the rhetoric from the left.Yes. There is a shrinking but vocal group that seems completely fine with what's happenning over there.
Well thats just not true at all.The majority of Americans still support Isreal, despite the rhetoric from the left.
LOLWhat do yall think about this proposed peace plan?
Trump's peace deal could end the war in Gaza or Netanyahu's career
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepts President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan despite facing coalition collapse from right-wing members opposing concessions to Hamas.www.foxnews.com
The majority of Americans still support Isreal, despite the rhetoric from the left.
And those unfavorable views are not necessarily antisemitism or support for terrorism.About half of Americans have unfavorable views of Israel. Perhaps not the majority, but a significant number. Among younger Americans, it's a clear majority.
More recently, in the 2020 election, Trump equated refugees to “radi cal Islamic terrorists,” tweeting that Biden “would increase refugees from terrorist nations by 700%” and turn “the entire Midwest into a refugee camp.”36 These anti-refugee sentiments degraded and demonized individuals who endured and fled from violence. While the U.S. is justified in protecting its national security interests, such rhetoric increases false and negative stereotypes of individuals from Muslim-majority and/or Arab countries. Furthermore, this rhetoric exaggerated and provoked false notions of the threat of refugees, as “the chances of being murdered by a refugee-related ter rorist attack in the United States has been 1 in 3.4 billion a year.”37 The Trump administration’s rhetoric translated into policies that harmed refugees and asylum seekers—both Syrian and non-Syrian.38 Trump enforced the Muslim ban, an executive order that imposed travel bans on individuals from Muslim-majority countries—including Syria—and affected refugee f lows.39 Under the Trump administration, the U.S. fell to its lowest record foradmitting refugees since the resettlement program began in 1980.40 The aver age annual refugee resettlement number for both Republican and Democratic administrations is 95,000.41 However, the Trump administration stated it would only accept 18,000 refugees for the 2020 Fiscal year.42 This number was further reduced with the onset of COVID-19 as only 10,800 refugees were resettled in the United States in 202043—481 of which were Syrian.44 Moreover, the Trump administration implemented extreme vetting proce dures to screen refugees but “provided no evidence that any of these meas ures were actually justified on security grounds.”45 This ultimately created further delays for refugees, many of whom live and wait in dangerous situa tions through their refugee application process.46 https://www.law.georgetown.edu/immi.../sites/19/2021/07/09-Doumit-GT-GILJ210030.pdf
