From the youth though? This support being intranational among the youth?
I mean it runs counter to everything this post talks about. Israel support has been growing again and now because of anything Israel is doing but the clarity in this war and what Israel has done. People love to say AIPAC "owns" politicians but they do not consider at all the WILD dark money that is believed to come from the Gulf Nations for our elections. Hell AIPAC is at least public about it but the Gulf Nations.... yeah operate purely in the shadows.
I haven't seen anything showing support for Israel growing, no that that means much.
A quick search confirmed the steep drop off in support for Israel by generation, although Gen X is higher than I remembered. This Brookings poll is two years old, but they all showed the same trend.
That those who would get hired for staffer jobs support Israel is consistent with the idea that AIPAC wields a lot of influence, especially since it's so at odds with the population at large (in that age group).

Perhaps AIPAC is one of the best referrers for congressional staff. Might as well capture the staff as well as the pols.

Lol or you just look at the data since AIPAC isnt a dark money org so you can compare the funds from Countries like Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi to what AIPAC contributes and the numbers are night and day difference. I thought data mattered or was important idk I remember when facts mattered and the facts are showing you are wrong lmao
