  "account": "A new survey by the Mellman Group for the Jewish Electorate Institute reveals that a majority of American Jews believe Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's actions have fueled rising antisemitism in the United States. While 86% of American Jews identify as pro-Israel, 61% hold an unfavorable view of Netanyahu. Sixty percent of American Jews want him replaced, with only 16% wanting him reelected.\n\nThe survey also shows divisions among American Jews regarding US military aid to Israel. A narrow majority (52%) supports reducing or ending the $3.3 billion aid package, with 17% wanting it eliminated entirely and 36% seeking a reduction. However, this demand is strictly partisan, with 63% of Jewish Democrats supporting cuts and 67% of Republicans and Independents opposing them.\n\nWhen it comes to groups targeting candidates seen as insufficiently pro-Israel, 45% of Jewish voters see such efforts as more important than ever, while 37% believe they alienate voters and worsen the situation.\n\nDespite the survey's findings, Jewish Jews continue to favor the Democratic Party. In a generic congressional ballot, Democrats lead Republicans 71% to 23% among Jews. However, growing concerns about the Democratic Party's own attitudes toward antisemitism are evident. Half of all Jewish Democrats believe antisemitism is rising within their own ranks, and 51% no longer view the term \"pro-Israel\" as accurately describing the Democratic Party.",
