A new study released this week, shows a sharp drop in support for Israel among Evangelicals aged 18 to 29 that could have “dramatic implications” on long-term US-Israel relations.
The study: “Change of the Guard: Young Evangelicals and [the] Israeli-Palestinian Dispute” shows that from 2018 to 2021, the rate of Evangelical young adults’ support for Israel dropped from 69% to 33.6% while support for the establishment of a Palestinian state rose from 35% to 44.7%.
The study was conducted by Dr. Motti Inbari and Dr. Kirill Bumin of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and presented at a conference by the Center for the Study of the United States, in partnership with the Fulbright Program, at Tel Aviv University on Thursday.Related

The study surveyed 700 Evangelicals from across the US. It found that among those who are supportive of Israel the highest level of support is in the Midwest followed by the Northeast, the West and the South at the lowest level regionally.
According to Inbari, respondents had to verbalize why they were more supportive of Israel or the Palestinians. Those who were supportive of Israel generally had religious reasons like the Jews are God’s Chosen People or God will bless those who bless the Jewish people. But those who said they’re supportive of the Palestinians had more political reasons, he said.
Inbari noted that this is the third survey that they have conducted. In the first survey in 2018, the survey found that overall, 75% of American Evangelicals were supportive of Israel. But even then, the age group of 18-29-year-olds was less supportive of Israel than their parents.
“They were less supportive of Israel but not because they are less religious,” Inbari told CBN News.
Inbari said he believes at least in part that’s because of the generation gap.
“Young Evangelicals and older Evangelicals don’t look at political issues the same way. It’s a generational divide,” Inbari said.
Support for Israel is highest among Republicans, but Inbari said that while the perception of Evangelicals is that they are largely Republican, that was not the case among the survey respondents.
They found that 39.5% identified as Republican or Republican-leaning while 48.5% identified as Democrat or Democrat-leaning. Only 24% said they voted from former President Trump while 45.8% said they voted for President Biden.
Surprisingly, an overwhelming, overall majority — 71.6% of those surveyed believe that all of Jerusalem should be the capital of the state of Israel and it should not be shared with the Palestinians.
And 41.5% of those surveyed believe Israel’s treatment of Palestinians is fair.
Dr. Yoav Fromer, head of the Center for the Study of the United States at Tel Aviv University said the overall results don’t necessarily bode well for Israel and he blamed the Israeli government.
“It seems that the Israeli government’s decision to abandon large segments of the liberal, progressive Democratic public and gamble only on the Evangelicals might end up costing us dearly,” Fromer said.
Fromer said he believes this shows that the Israeli government during the last decade or more have put “all its eggs” in one political basket: Evangelical voters in the Republican Party.
“If the trends clearly reflected in this study continue, we will discover in the not-too-distant future that the basket is broken, because the support has not been transmitted to younger generations. And the result? The loss of Israel’s most important strategic pillar: the unreserved support of the United States,” Fromer said in a statement.

“My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26, NASB
Pressure is often associated with stress – the daily job, raising the kids, working hard to pay the monthly mortgage, rent, utilities, or the loans borrowed long ago and with added interest that never seem to get paid off.
Some are experiencing the pressure in selling or buying a home, with all that goes into packing up and moving to another state or across town. Others are wondering if they will get a decent job now that graduation is completed, and the right position comes quickly.
I was listening to one of my favorite Bible teachers and motivational speakers this morning, Lance Wallnau from the Dallas, Texas area. After first hearing him give a thoughtful and humorous message over a decade ago in a local church, I have been listening, reading, and re-posting his thoughts on our LoveForHisPeople.com website as often as I can. I like what he stands for in both the political arena and in faith-building areas.
One recent message of his briefly mentioned what pressure can do for us. Rather than what we often think it does against us, we can have another perspective. If we see it as an image of the Lord putting more air in our balloon to enlarge the rubber mass, the inside force pushing outward enables a bigger and better balloon to come forth. Thus, we are using pressure for good, rather than allowing it to bring bad results.
If, as the saying goes, “no pain no gain” is true, then pressure we experience can enable us to grow in our handling of surrounding forces that come at and against us. We have the opportunity to take the offense.
King David wrote of the “pressure of the wicked” in Psalm 55. Even before he was made king, enemy forces sought to take him out, remove any authority he believed he was given, and keep him from assuming his rightful place on the nation’s throne.
In America, forces of evil are pressing all around us, pushing the land further and further into ungodly territory, wanting to control and rule unjustly and without accountability to the Higher Power. That which was wrong, and still is, is now being said to be “OK, all permitting, with no concern about giving account to anyone.” Our children and grandchildren are being taught and led to believe that historical and foundational truths are not, with ungodly standards being imposed on them and the rest of society.
How do you handle pressure? How do I handle pressure?
I go to the Lord. He is the One Who can hold us upright.
“Keep me from the snares they have laid for me and the traps of the workers of wickedness. The wicked will fall into their own nets, while I escape.” Psalm 242:9-20, One New Man
“I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun will not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul.
8 The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever.” Psalm 121, NASB
When I feel the weight of the world, the pressure coming at me wanting to bring discouragement, doubt, and weakness in my faith, I have learned to call upon the Name of the Lord, to look up to Him, to declare that He is the Rock on which I stand.
As I pray also in tongues, my spirit is renewed and faith builds, bringing more hope in His righteous and victorious outcome.
We need His daily encouragement. We need His daily Written Word, to keep us grounded and to walk on righteous paths.
He will take care of the wicked while He will uphold our hands through it all.
Ahava and shalom,
