Poll: A quarter of US Jews believe ‘Israel’ is apartheid state
20% of voters under the age of 40 believe 'Israel' doesn't have a right to exist.
Washington (QNN)- A new poll of US Jewish voters finds out that a quarter of them believe that the occupation state of ‘Israel’ is committing genocide and apartheid.
Among respondents to the survey commissioned by the Jewish Electorate Institute, a group led by prominent Jewish Democrats, 34% agreed that “Israel’s treatment of Palestinians is similar to racism in the United States,” 25% agreed that “Israel is an apartheid state” and 22% agreed that “Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians.”
Agreement with the aforementioned statements was higher among younger voters. 9% of voters agreed with the statement, “Israel doesn’t have a right to exist.” But among voters under 40, that proportion was 20%. A third of younger voters agreed that the occupation state is committing genocide while more than a third agreed that Israel is an apartheid state.
Asked about the two-state solution, 61% of survey respondents said it was their preferred outcome. But 19% said they preferred annexation of the West Bank that would deny Palestinians the right to vote in national elections, while 20% said they preferred “establishing one state that is neither Jewish nor Palestinian” and encompassing Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.
One statement in the survey, echoing a claim by former US President Donald Trump, that “Jews who vote Democratic are disloyal to Israel” was also put forward to respondents to assess whether it is antisemitic; mainstream Jewish organizations have suggested that it is. However, while a vast majority of respondents, 77%, disagreed with the statement, only 26% said they believed it is antisemitic.
Regarding antisemitism in the US, 61% of the voters said the threat came from the right than they did from the left, 22%. Voters who felt said the threat was equal from both sides came in at 12%. Among the Orthodox, 69% said the threat came from the left, 10% from the right, and 18% from both sides.
The poll was made following the recent Israeli aggression of Gaza. The results are surprising especially while mainstream media and the Israeli lobby have been paying millions of dollars to promote the zionist narrative and whitewash Israeli crimes.
