Today’s Good News: Jewish Glasnost Coming To America?
Tony Karon has written a lengthy but very encouraging story about the declining support of American Jews for Israel, which appeared on Alternet. He mentions “a recent study [which] yielded some extraordinary findings: In order to measure the depth of attachment of American Jews to Israel, the researchers asked whether respondents would consider the destruction of the State of Israel a “personal tragedy.” Less than half of those aged under 35 answered “yes” and only 54% percent of those aged 35-50 agreed (compared with 78% of those over 65). The study found that only 54% of those under 35 felt comfortable with the very idea of a Jewish state. Check out the rest of the story here.
