The Rise of Anti-Zionism Among Young Jews

Young Jews growing up in the US have been exposed to conditions that make the relevance of Israel and Zionism less apparent to them. The rise of anti-Zionism is attributed to the disconnect experienced by the younger generation, who have only known Jews with significant political, state, and military power. This disconnect leads them to believe that Israel is unnecessary and that Jews can thrive without it, leading to a rejection of the importance of Israel in their lives.
