In New ICC Poll, Americans Overwhelmingly Support Israel, Concerned About On-Campus Antisemitism
New research conducted by the Israel on Campus Coalition in partnership with Schoen Cooperman Research shows that among 1000 U.S. adults surveyed, 81% of them support Israel’s right to defend itself. Additionally, poll results showed that 82% believe a final ceasefire deal should require Hamas’ removal from power in Gaza.
The poll, which was conducted between February 14 and 18, also explored on-campus antisemitism. The ICC and Schoen surveyed 400 college students and 250 Jewish college students to assess perceptions of antisemitism and attitudes towards Israel and the Israel-Hamas conflict. It revealed that 75% of college students have experienced, witnessed or heard about antisemitic incidents on their campus, while 74% of Jewish college students believe antisemitism is a serious problem on their campus.
“These findings demonstrate unwavering public support for Israel and deep concern about the alarming rise of antisemitism, especially on college campuses,” the ICC’s CEO Jacob Baime said in a statement.
Carly Cooperman, CEO of Schoen Cooperman Research, echoed a similar sentiment.
“The Israel-Hamas war is also a priority on college campuses, as virtually all college students surveyed say that this issue is important to them,” she said. “Though, there is widespread concern among college students generally—and particularly among Jewish college students—that the conflict has increased antisemitism on campus, and large majorities view this issue as a serious problem.”
According to the poll, 76% of general college students believe antisemitism is a serious problem on their campus, and the Israel-Hamas war ranks as the second most important issue for them (27%); only costs and inflation (43%) outrank them. Other top issues include healthcare (21%), immigration (19%) and affordable housing (19%). Over 90% of college students say that the Israel-Hamas War is an important issue to them, and nearly three-quarters view it as very important.

Please.
Yeah, how can anyone trust what a bunch of Jews say, right, Henry?
We’ll just overlook that no non-Jewish organizations seem to think it’s a problem worth looking into. Or even discussing.
Sorry to bore you with our petty concerns. Kindly pardon us for living.
