Survey: Young American Jews Less Attached to Israel Than Their Elders

In June, The New York Review of Books published an article by author Peter Beinart contending that young American Jews think little about Israel, if at all. The article cited a survey conducted by a conservative pollster. It concluded that many young American Jews want an open and frank discussion of Israel and its shortcomings, including its treatment of Palestinians under occupation. Just prior to the announcement of new peace negotiations between israel and the Palestinians, VOA's Laurel Bowman sat down with Beinart, as well as a young Jewish American woman and her rabbi.
