How badly are Israel and Jews losing the information war in America? Brace yourself.
The metrics in this report illustrate how decisively Hamas and its propagandists are dominating every information battlefield in the West. Until we begin fighting back, things will only get worse.

America is the largest, most important nation that has historically supported Israel – philosophically, diplomatically and militarily. Through this support, America and Israel have worked relentlessly to prevent another Holocaust from ever happening to the Jews.
This infographic report contains recent and long-term survey data that shows how badly Israel and Jews are losing the information war in America.
We will begin by analyzing survey data regarding 18-34 year-old Americans, for it is they who will determine the future of the US-Israeli relationship, as well as whether Jews can live here in safety and security.
You can also see these infographics in a slide show, here.
At the conclusion of this report, I offer some insights, based on my sixteen years of observations, research and analysis, into how I believe things got to this point — and what’s going to be required to get us out of this situation. If you value this report, I invite you to consider donating to my crowdfunding campaign, to help advance my independent investigative journalism, in defense of Israel and Jews.

How could this be happening? There is an answer — it’s just not one that most people are aware of, or want to discuss.
At this point, you may be pondering questions such as:
“How are such metrics even possible, in an age in which more information is available, for free, or at lower cost than at any point in history?”
“I donate to the top Jewish nonprofits in America that claim to be on the front lines of fighting anti-Semitism. How is it that I’ve never seen them report any of these metrics — or what they’re doing to combat those who are causing them?”
“I’m an avid news consumer. How is it that I’ve never seen any news organization expose these metrics, or do a deep dive into the primary drivers behind them?”
I understand. I created this infographic report to serve several purposes:
To compile, in one place, the metrics that show how badly the information war against Israel and Jews is being lost in America
To visually format these metrics in a clear, consistent, easy-to-understand and -verify format, that can be shared individually or collectively (via this report, and its companion slide show)
As to why this tragedy is occurring — and the reasons why so few Americans, and Jews, are aware of it — I’ve devoted a lot of time, thought, research and analysis to this problem since 2010, which is when I received my first indication of where things were headed, while speaking with the leader of one of America’s most elite Jewish nonprofits. By “indication,” I mean the degree to which this legendary Jewish nonprofit appeared willing to play a significant role — both active and passive — in enabling the very conditions that produced this tragedy.
I realize this statement sounds counter-intuitive: how could an elite Jewish nonprofit, that claims to fight anti-Semitism actually be helping, via its acts and omissions, the most influential (a) peddlers of incendiary lies about Jews and Israel, and (b) inciters of such broad-scale hatred of both?
Over the past several months, I produced two investigative reports that help answer this question, by providing concrete, verifiable examples of such betrayals:
I also developed a third, supporting report, containing vital related research data that most people have never seen before:
To summarize my observations, research and analysis over the past sixteen years, and the conclusions I’ve drawn:
The primary reason for the survey metrics contained in this report is the unwillingness of the top-five Jewish nonprofits in America, which claim to fight anti-Semitism, to even acknowledge the identifies of: (a) the (actual) dominant inciters of hatred against Jews and Israel, or (b) the (actual) most-frequent perpetrators of terrorism against Jews. Collectively, these five nonprofits receive nearly $1.2 billion in donations, and yet, year after year, the most important metrics keep getting worse.
As a result, none of these legacy, elite Jewish nonprofits have developed or implemented strategies to combat the lies that drive this skyrocketing anti-Semitism, the most influential peddlers of these lies, and who is enabling them.
These betrayals have paved the way for the transmission belts and repeater stations of these anti-Semitic lies and incitement to not just function, but to keep expanding, without visible opposition — because they know there is no tangible price to pay for doing so. While it is true that on occasion, a particular professor or political figure loses their position due to anti-Semitic behavior, the other 99% know that they can do so, even at the kindergarten, third-grade and college levels, with virtually zero chance of paying any price, severe or minor.
Some of these nonprofits do constructive things, such as advocating for increased security funding for synagogues, filing lawsuits against universities for allowing masked Hamas-supporting zombies to create chaos on their campuses, and facilitating Holocaust education. None of these efforts do anything, however, to combat the lies that drive the survey metrics in this report.
So what’s going to be required to get us out of this situation? Two things:
(1) There must be accountability for top-tier legacy Jewish nonprofits, that:
Measures and reports if, and to what degree they are honoring the promises they make to donors, and the IRS
Sounds the alarm if they actively or passively aid, or protect, the (actual) top drivers of anti-Semitic hate and violence
(2) America needs bold new nonprofits that are designed from the ground up to:
Combat the lies that drive the skyrocketing anti-Semitism we’re witnessing
Expose and hold to public account the most influential peddlers of these lies, and who is enabling them
Show the linkages between these lies, and the skyrocketing rate of hate crimes and terrorism against Jews, in America and beyond

May 31, 2026: National survey finds 18-49 year-old Democrats view Israel more unfavorably than Iran: It seems too crazy to possibly be true, but the survey was conducted in March 2026 by Echelon Insights, a national research firm that has done work for clients ranging from the NY Times to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, so I assign its findings in this matter to have presumed high credibility.
April 19, 2026: NBC News reports on the leftist-Democratic Party abandonment of Israel, in favor of Palestinians:
These statistics speak more to the decadence and rot that has infected the U.S. more than anything else. It’s of course very disturbing but, from a practical standpoint, there isn’t much that can be done about it. Jews have always been civilization’s canary in the coal mine. If the miners are paying attention, they may yet save themselves. If not, we can decamp to Israel and ride out the fall.
Shocking data. Thank you for putting this together.
