At the same time, the fighting in Gaza continued, and no progress was reported in the hostage release talks.

After the convention, a first televised debate between Harris and the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, was broadcast to an audience of over 67 million viewers. Also with the potential to impact the election: a second attempt on Donald Trump\u2019s life, and New York Judge Juan Merchan\u2019s decision to postpone sentencing in Trump\u2019s \u201chush money\u201d case until after the elections.<\/p>\n<p>Survey data shows a slow but continuous upward trend in recent months in the share of self-identified liberal and centrist respondents who say they will definitely vote for Harris.

However, an upturn in the assessment of Harris as pro-Israel is evident across all respondent groups, not just among liberalsNo change was found among panel respondents in the percentage of those who believe that Trump is pro-Israel. The share of respondents who believe he is pro-Israel has remained higher than the share who say this of Harris.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19348\" src=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t11.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t11.png 808w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t11-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t11-768x551.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19349\" src=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t12.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t12.png 805w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t12-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t12-768x555.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>The American Political Parties and Antisemitism<\/h1>\n<p>Which of the US presidential candidates would perform better in the fight against antisemitism? This question, posed in previous months, was included in this month\u2019s survey as well. Among left-leaning respondents there has been a slow but steady downward trend in the share of those who believe Trump would do better than Harris in combating antisemitism. In terms of religious-stream affiliation, this month showed an additional rise among Reform Jews who think Harris would be better at fighting antisemitism, and a drop in the percentage of those who think Trump would be better. The Orthodox exhibit an opposite trend \u2013 the percentage of those who think Harris would be better at fighting antisemitism declined while the share of those who think Trump would be better rose.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19350\" src=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t13.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t13.png 1003w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t13-300x277.png 300w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t13-768x708.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><br \/>\nExpanding on the question of which candidate would be better at fighting antisemitism, this month we also asked which of the two major US political parties would perform better in this arena. Most of the conservative and half of the centrist respondents feel that the Republican Party would fare better in the struggle against antisemitism.<\/p>\n<p>At the opposite end, in the liberal camp, the responses are not entirely uniform. Most of the strong liberals believe that the Democratic Party would better fight antisemitism, but less than half of liberal-leaning respondents and only a tenth of centrists believe so. When the responses are broken down by religiosity level, members of most subgroups, aside from Reform, think the Republican Party would outdo the Democratic Party in fighting antisemitism. A fifth of respondents across all streams believe that both parties would be equally bad at addressing this challenge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19351\" src=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t14-1024x811.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t14-1024x811.png 1024w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t14-300x238.png 300w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t14-768x608.png 768w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t14.png 1197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Sense of Security<\/h1>\n<p>Since October 7, antisemitism has proliferated around the world, with voices calling for a boycott of Israel gaining momentum. This phenomenon affects the sense of security of Jews living in the Diaspora. This month, we looked at how secure panel participants feel in their places of residence. We can see that the war in Israel has affected their sense of personal security. Among panel respondents, four in five feel that their personal security has been compromised to some degree.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19352\" src=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t15.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t15.png 934w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t15-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t15-768x498.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/>Compared with a similar question posed two months ago, only slight changes can be detected.

Since May, responses from all groups have remained virtually unchanged. However, there has been a rise in the percentage of strong conservatives who believe Israel\u2019s public messaging performance is good.<\/p>\n<h1>The Future of Israel and the Jews<\/h1>\n<p>JPPI\u2019s Israeli Society Index, almost on a monthly basis, examines how confident Israelis (Jews and non-Jews) are that Israel will win the war. A comparison between the findings from the Israeli Society Index and the Voice of the Jewish People survey reveals that a sizeable share of American Jewish respondents exhibit greater confidence in Israel\u2019s ability to win than do Israelis themselves. This is also the case when the only-Jews Israeli sample is compared with the American Jewish respondent sample. However, this finding must be qualified: even after the data on American Jews is weighted by self-identification, the JPPI panel consists of Jews who are relatively \u201cconnected\u201d to Israel and the Jewish community, and are therefore not representative of the entire US Jewish population. When we look at the data for the Americans by political orientation, we find that most conservatives and centrists are convinced that Israel will win the war (5 on a scale of 1 to 5), while less than half of liberal respondents are similarly convinced.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19357\" src=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t20-1024x468.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t20-1024x468.png 1024w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t20-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t20-768x351.png 768w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t20.png 1176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><br \/>\n* JPPI Israel Society Index, September &#8217;24<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19358\" src=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t21-1024x565.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t21-1024x565.png 1024w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t21-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t21-768x423.png 768w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t21.png 1177w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><br \/>\nWhen we compare Voice of the Jewish People panel respondents\u2019 degree of optimism about the future of the American Jewish community last July with our September data, we find a certain rise in optimism at both ends of the ideological scale \u2013 the strong-liberals and the strong-conservatives.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19359\" src=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t22.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t22.png 946w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t22-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t22-768x549.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/>The further one moves from liberal to conservative on the ideological spectrum, the greater the optimism about Israel\u2019s future.

The report does not provide a weighted value representative of American Jewry as a whole, but the number of panel respondents who self-identify as belonging to various groups enables us to identify trends, views, and differences between Jews based on religious affiliation, emotional attachment to Israel, political orientation, attachment to Judaism, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, this survey tends to reflect the attitudes of US Jews with some connection to the Jewish community, as indicated by a specific question in this regard (which includes data for anyone who stated a connection to some Jewish institution, such as a synagogue, community center, Jewish organization, etc.), as well as Jews with an attachment of some kind to Israel, as reflected in the data on visits to Israel, which are significantly more numerous than the average for all US Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Survey participant data (see table below): About half self-identify as liberal; the percentage of intermarried respondents is significantly lower than the average for US Jews generally; the share of those affiliated with the Conservative religious stream is higher than their share in the American Jewish population as a whole. The percentage of respondents unaffiliated with any religious stream is lower than the average for American Jews.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19361\" src=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t24-448x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t24-448x1024.png 448w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t24-131x300.png 131w, https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/t24.png 685w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in \u05e2\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17118,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23043"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23043\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23045,"href":"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23043\/revisions\/23045"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jppi.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
