The data is consistent with the outpouring of anti-Israel sentiment that was unleashed worldwide, including in the US, following the Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish state by the Hamas Palestinian terror group. The survey was carried out by Prof. Motti Inbari of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and Dr. Kirill Bumin of Boston University and published in their new book, ‘Christian Zionism in the Twenty-First Century: American Evangelical Opinion on Israel.’ The data shows that in 2021, only 33.6% of young Evangelicals under 30 said they support Israel, compared to 67.9% in 2018. Moreover, in 2021, 24.3% of young Evangelicals said they support the Palestinians, compared to just 5% in 2018. At the same time, 42.4% of American Evangelicals under 30 said they supported neither Israel nor the Palestinians in 2021, compared to 25% in 2018. Research author Inbari offered a number of explanations for the findings, including that young Evangelicals are getting different information about Israel than their parents. “While the older generations have witnessed Israel’s struggles existing in a hostile Middle East, for the younger generation, Israel is portrayed as the aggressor while the Palestinians are victims,” Inbari told JPost. Bumin added that there are theological differences concerning Israel between the older and younger generations too. “Almost seven out of 10 Evangelical and born-again young Evangelicals that we surveyed in Spring 2021 adhere to the postmillennial and amillennial theological views, which see the Jewish people and the state of Israel as no longer necessary in the fulfillment of God’s plan for the second coming of Jesus Christ and the End Times,” Bumin noted in a statement to JPost.

Also interesting that the survey data is from 2021 and the drop was that pronounced over the period. I would suspect with the latest war with Hamas, that might be dropping even more.
