POLL: MOST AMERICANS SUPPORT ISRAEL, SAY BDS MOVEMENT IS ANTI-SEMITIC

According to a new poll of 1,000 likely USA voters released last week by the Hudson Institute, 51% held a favorable opinion of Israel, while only 21% held an unfavorable opinion. 75% agreed it is in America’s interest to have Israel as its closest ally in the Middle East. Almost 60% said anti-Semitism is happening more frequently today than 15 years ago. 37% attributed anti-Semitism in the USA to Muslim extremists, 28% to right-wing extremists, and 22% to left-wing extremists. A majority considered support for the BDS movement to be anti-Semitic, while a plurality said the USA should support Israel in opposing the BDS movement. Over 60% said it is not Islamophobic to criticize Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for her anti-Semitic views on Israel.
