Massive drop in Israel support among Jewish college students in U.S., study finds

Protestors march along Huntington Avenue at Northeastern University in support of Palestine after a university student organization, Students for Justice in Palestine, was “temporarily suspended for multiple violations of university policy over an extended period of time,” according to a university statement in Boston, Tuesday, March 18, 2014. (AP Photo/Stephan Savoia)Support for Israel has dropped by 27 percentage points among Jewish college students in the U.S. since 2010, according to a study released by the Brand Israel Group, a non-profit founded over a decade ago. Fern Oppenheim, the co-founder of the Brand Israel Group, wrote that support for Israel among Jewish college students is now at 57%, down from 84% in 2010, according to her organization’s research.
While the study found a decrease in support for Israel among the U.S. population as a whole, it noted that the drop in support for Israel was especially acute for Jewish college students, who appear to be abandoning support for Israel in droves. The Jerusalem Post noted that this drop in support isn’t surprising, especially considering the place that Israel occupies in campus discussions.
According to the study, 62% of Jewish college students have witnessed anti-Israel activity on campus, and 31% of Jewish college students have experienced anti-Semitism. On many college campuses, pro-Israel sentiment is often overshadowed by anti-Israel/anti-Jewish activists, who are often much louder and aggressive in their tactics.

Where are the Resisters celebrating? The Final Solution might just be round the corner! 🙂
Listen you knucklehead there are more than 70 of the Christians who do not support any outside forces and for that matter any influences from inside. that means Hezbollah for sure. The reason that the 30% of Christians support Hezbollah because they are very apprehensive about the whole middle east situation and they strategically support Hezbollah to seek indirect protection. But many of us still don’t and we support overall peace with everyone. But none of the warring parties want to make peace so it makes things volatile. when you have Israel goating Daesh and al Nusra going around killing minorities and especially Christian. Because obviously Christians are their enemies and it makes it look good that Muslims are killing Christians and Israel gloating about it. Second you got Syrian government who cares about itself and none of it’s people. Now majority of Syrians are heading mostly toward Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan and the rest to the west. But you have deadly ones who are working with Israel and I am talking about AL Nusra and Daesh and getting treatments. Yes the Arabs are not Angels and there is no difference between them and Israeli Government and the Settlers. with all due respect most secular jews deserve credits for trying to make peace and the same for Palestinians. but the forces of evil are too strong to resist. so next time you throw crap like you are going get crap back. so sod off you ignorant Nazi and go eat maneur.

“Settlers”? You are Nazi, Danny, or brainwashed

VS the Settlers are devil worshipers and they don’t believe in God. After all it’s their own ancestors who didn’t stop harassing Jesus and made sure he will die on the Cross.
It’s them who incites hate and evil and push their government to force the settlements and create division. In the past the Settlers had indirect agreements with Palestinians extremists to cause problems in Israel so they can blame the public opinion on the Palestinians. they are no different than Jihad al Islami or Daesh. if they had their ways they would act exactly like them. Stop your nonsense and if you want peace it starts with the Settlers and the rest of the Jews will follow. You can call me anything you want but that don’t change the reality on what’s happening there and who is the man culprit. Leave the Aqsa Mosque alone you tell your barbie dolls to stop doing it or things will get much worse buddy.

You are not understand “settlers” are politically correct racist fascist derogatory for Jews of Judea
First you come with “you knucklehead” and then you ends with “sod off you ignorant Nazi and go eat maneur.”.
Just for your information;
I am not fond of these Jewish orthodox settlers, nor of these Arabs with minority complexes.
You are hating each other, can not live together.
Then you have the nerve to claim that we are (Westerners) who have created the Middle East problem.
Continue with the claytrader, perhaps Omega will be delighted with your “Minimize Risk and Maximize Profits Trade Without Emotion” – he loves Westerners bankers…
Danny Farah
Actually everyone involved created the problems. Westerners are part of the general plot.
And you are lucky i called just knucklehead.. Lol
Niemals
Some of those that created the problems (the plot);
Alexander III of Macedon
The Roman Empire
The Ottoman Empire
Occupied Enemy Territory Administration….
Today the population of the Middle East have internal conflicts as well as with the Israelis.
Hind Abyad
