Important article: lots of bad news for Israel Lobby: "A younger wave of Republicans is steadily rejecting the party’s long-standing pro-Israel stance, shaped by the genocidal war in Gaza and new media currents. 52% of Republicans aged 35 + sympathize with Israel, only 24% aged 18–34 say the same. After Oct 7 unfavorable views of Israel among Republicans under 50 jumped from 35% in 2022 to 50% in 2025. Only 36 percent of younger evangelical Republicans believe Israeli actions in Gaza are justified. The rise of social media has significantly accelerated this attitudinal shift on Israel . Conservative youth are consuming a radically different discourse, one that challenges the old dogmas." https://thecradle.co/articles/the-republican-israel-love-affair-hits-a-generational-rift
