## Key points

- Most Jewish voters surveyed linked Israeli actions to rising US antisemitism.
- Two-thirds said Aipac’s campaign spending can worsen antisemitism.
- The poll found broad support for Democrats and settler sanctions.

## Summary

A poll commissioned by pro-Israel group J Street found that most Jewish American voters believe actions by Israel and Aipac are contributing to antisemitism in the United States. The findings challenge claims that Jewish voters broadly favour unconditional support for Israel’s government and come amid elections where US policy towards Israel was a prominent issue.

The survey, conducted by GBAO Strategies from 28 October to 3 November, found 80 per cent said Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank and Gaza increase antisemitism, while 66 per cent said Aipac’s spending against Israel-critical candidates does so. Sixty per cent said some Jewish organisations use antisemitism concerns to defend unpopular Israeli policies; 72 per cent backed Democratic candidates and 76 per cent supported sanctions on violent West Bank settlers.
