A study conducted by the Jewish People’s Policy Institute (JPPI) revealed interesting trends in American Jewish attitudes toward Israeli actions in Gaza. The survey results, presented as part of the Voices of the Jewish People study, highlight the complex dilemmas and challenges facing American Jews today.
Israeli media write about this.
An April 2024 survey found increased feelings of anti-Jewish discrimination on U.S. campuses during the ongoing Gaza conflict. This is causing serious concern and anxiety among American Jews who feel their safety and well-being is being threatened.
However, the poll also found that American Jewish support for Israel’s actions in Gaza remains high, exceeding 80%. This demonstrates the close ties and solidarity with Israel among American Jewish communities.
Interestingly, the majority of American Jews express support for President Biden and his administration, intending to support him in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. This may reflect confidence in the administration’s policies and approach to dealing with international conflicts, including the situation in Gaza.
However, there is a wide range of views among American Jews regarding the adequacy of U.S. support during the conflict. Liberal Jews are more likely to perceive support as sufficient, while Conservative Jews perceive a lack of support from the administration.
Overall, the survey highlights the complex challenges and dilemmas facing American Jews in light of the current situation in Gaza. It also highlights the importance of dialogue, understanding and solidarity within the Jewish community in the United States, especially during times of tension and conflict.
