The genocide, which has been going on in Gaza since October 7, 2023, is fueling anger against Israel in all segments from young people to democrats in the United States. The Pew Research Center made a survey and evaluated the approach of US adults to the issue. The survey with 3,605 US adults proves that Israel’s operations in Gaza since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 have led to an inflation in the US public opinion.
According to the data, the proportion of negative ministers to Israel in 2022 was 42 %, while in 2025, this rate jumped to 53 %. In the democrats, this rate reaches 69 %, while 37 % of the Republicans question Israel. Criticism in young generations is even more sharp. 50 % of Republicans under the age of 49 and 71 % of young democrats are opposing Israel. Civil losses in Gaza reveal that Israel’s policies are no longer defensive in the United States.
Netanyahu’s leadership is also hit from place to place in the United States. While 52 % of the respondents do not trust Netanyahu, this rate increases to 53 % even among Jewish Americans. War -to -war against Iran and the prolongation of the destruction in Gaza are increasing both human and economic concerns in the US. Trump’s meeting with Netanyahu this week, “Gaza to control the US peace force” proposal could not get a passing grade. 62 % against this idea, 49 % of them “against intensity.” Even 44 % of the Republicans threw this idea in the trash, while support remained only at 15 %.
Israel’s attacks in Gaza deepened the polarization among religious groups in the US. While 81 %of Muslim Americans opposed Israel, 53 %of the Catholics and 50 %of white Protestants criticize Israel. Support to Israel remained the majority in Jewish Americans (73%) and white evangelicals (72%). However, other than these groups, sympathy for Israel is rapidly running out. Gallup’s February 2025 data confirmed the same truth: a positive view of Israel.
The survey was conducted on 24-30 March 2025 with 3,605 US adults and was completed just before Trump’s Netanyahu White House meeting. Trump defended the idea of taking Gaza under the control of the United States, but this plan was already rejected around the world. US conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, Netanyahu’s calls for attacking Iran can not meet, thousands of Americans die, “he criticized harshly.
