  "account": "A recent national poll conducted by Burson Insights & Intelligence for Boundless reveals significant gaps in Americans' ability to recognize instances of antisemitism. The survey, which polled 1,500 US adults between September 4 and September 11, found that while 64% of Americans believe antisemitism has increased since the October 7, 2023 attacks, many struggle to identify and condemn common forms of anti-Jewish hatred.\n\nThe report's first section focused on attitudes towards American Jews three years after the war. It found that 61% of Americans believe criticism of Israel is often used to express anti-Jewish views, up from 53% in 2025. Despite this, 30% of Americans are unfamiliar with the term \"antisemitism,\" a figure that rises to 39% among young adults aged 18 to 34. Notably, 22% of young adults believe American Jews support Israel more than the US, and 25% think Americans who strongly support Israel are less loyal to the country.\n\nThe second section examined Americans' views on Israel's upcoming election and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While 58% correctly identified Netanyahu as Israel's prime minister, 40% viewed him unfavorably. Younger Americans and Democrats were more likely to hold negative views. The report found that 19% of Americans let their views of Netanyahu shape their perception of American Jews, and 35% believed Netanyahu's departure would improve their views of Israel and Jewish people. The poll also highlighted limited public familiarity with Israeli democracy, with only 30% knowing Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, 27% knowing Arab citizens can vote in Israeli elections, and 21% knowing Arabs serve in Israel's parliament.",
