Polls suggest that a growing number of young Americans are siding with the Palestinians and increasingly critical of Israel.
Successive US administrations across political divides have supported Israel since its creation in 1948.
But polls suggest that public support for Israel in the United States now appears to be waning, especially among young people.
A Pew Research study two years ago indicated that only 41 percent of those aged 18 to 29 had a favorable view of Israel.
And many students of this generation are now protesting on university campuses against the war in Gaza, which killed almost 35,000 Palestinians.
So does the anger among young Americans underscore a generational divide in Washington’s policy toward Israel?
And what are the reasons that are reshaping public opinion?
