The bipartisan support Israel and its powerful lobby have enjoyed for decades in the US—with lawmakers from both parties insisting the federal government must help Israel “defend itself” with nearly $4 billion per year in military aid—is likely to shift considerably in the coming years as public support for the country continues to collapse, particularly among young voters, in the latest Pew Research poll.

The survey was taken last month as the US-Israeli war on Iran, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly pitched to President Donald Trump in an unusual Situation Room meeting in February, was escalating and spreading across the Middle East. It found that overall, 60% of US adults had an unfavorable view of Israel.

That share has grown considerably since 2022, before Israel began its US-backed war on the population of Gaza in retaliation for a Hamas-led attack. That year, just 42% in the US viewed Israel unfavorably.

Public opposition to the country’s government has also gone up by seven percentage points since last year, according to Pew. The share of adults who describe themselves as having a “very unfavorable” view of Israel has gone up by 9% since 2025 and has nearly tripled since before Israel began waging war on Gaza.

If only this dislike would transform into political decisions.

^It’s difficult for me to acknowledge the ‘right to exist’ of a country that can’t (or won’t) define its own borders. I mean, we KNOW where other countries start and stop.

Countries don't have right to exist in the first place. It's not a concept recognized by international law*. That aside only right that genocidal, warmongering regime should have in my view would be a right to a fair trial.

I’m finding it harder and harder to disagree with that.

As far as I am concerned it is time for world to wake up. israel ain't light of the nations, settled by chosen people. It's murderous, genocidal regime shitting on international law and cynically using atrocity that was Shoah to silence it's critics.

It's nothing more than rogue state.

Christians need to uplift Israel for their end-times prophecies to come true. As long as there is a powerful Christian lobby playing watchdog to prevent anyone undermining Israel, there isn't going to be any significant change.

The right to exist is not the same as the right to commit genocide. If you can't tell the difference, you probably shouldn't have either.
