  "account": "A majority of American Jewish voters are deeply concerned that Israel's policies under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have contributed to a rise in antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States, according to a new poll. Despite this, the vast majority of respondents continue to identify as pro-Israel. The survey, conducted by the Mellman Group for the Jewish Electorate Institute, found that 56% of respondents had a \"great deal\" of concern over the impact of Netanyahu's actions on antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the US.\n\nPolitical affiliation played a significant role in the level of concern expressed, with 65% of Jewish Democrats expressing high levels of worry, compared to 46% of independents and 34% of Republicans. Despite this, 86% of those surveyed still described themselves as pro-Israel, even if they were critical of some or many Israeli government policies.\n\nWith regards to the US military aid to Israel, 52% of respondents favored either cutting or ending this aid, with 36% supporting a reduction in the $3.3 billion in military assistance and 17% wanting to completely eliminate it. However, 40% of respondents wanted to maintain the current level of funding.\n\nThe poll also revealed that 51% had heard at least something about pro-Israel involvement in the current primary races, up from 38% in March. While 39% supported such activity, 35% opposed it and 26% were unsure. In terms of views of AIPAC, 42% viewed it favorably while 35% viewed it unfavorably, with 24% unsure.",
