(JEWISH GROUP) Younger Americans more likely to be antisemitic, new poll finds

Younger Americans are more likely to be antisemitic than older voters, with a particular problem on the conservative right, a new poll has claimed.

Previous polls, including those carried out by the Anti-Defamation League since 1964, found that antisemitism was more commonplace among older Americans than young.

But in recent years that appears to have flipped, borne out by the new Yale Youth Poll, reported in The Bulwark, suggesting that younger people are more likely to harbor antisemitic views. Researchers also found that young conservatives are more likely to agree with antisemitic statements than young liberals.

The Yale findings come days after an arson attack at a synagogue in Jackson, Mississippi, and ongoing political concern about anti-Jewish sentiment in the country.

I told her it was Bibi N’s policies not the Jewish people. Then I told her they want The Gaza strip to redevelop for a tourist site and that the presidents sons in law is one of the developers. Saw her a few weeks later and she apologized because she looked it up and found out it was the truth.
