An official opinion survey showed that 42 per cent of Jewish teens in
the US believe that the occupation army has committed genocide in the
Gaza Strip.
The Jerusalem Post published the results of a survey conducted by
IsraelAs Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combatting Antisemitism,
which also showed that 42 per cent of Jews criticise Israel, compared
to only seven per cent of their international counterparts.
The survey stated: oThese disparities highlight a worrying divergence
in how American Jewish teens perceive Israel, influenced by
differences in culture, community, and education.o
The surveyAs findings cited 37 per cent of Jewish American teens
sympathise with Hamas, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The survey has indicated that this number increases when the age group
is limited to 14 years old, as 60 per cent of this age group in the US sympathises with Hamas.
The Jerusalem Post report indicated that the rise in opposition to
Israel among Jewish American teens is influenced by different
cultural, social and educational circumstances.
Even among those with a strong Jewish educational background, six per
cent sympathise with Hamas.
At the same time, the report conveyed: oTeens who participated in
Jewish camps, day schools, or supplementary schools, or who had
personal encounters with Israelis were far less likely to harbour
anti-Israel views.o
These findings have angered Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai
Chikli, who remarked: oIt is more important than ever to strengthen
the bonds between Jewish teens in the diaspora and Israel.o
