"... Americans who believe that the Holocaust is a myth include a significant number of young adults: 20% of people under 30 strongly agree or tend to agree that the Holocaust it is a myth, compared to fewer than 1% of people 65 and older. ...
While few Americans dispute the Holocaust, somewhat larger shares do tend to agree with certain negative statements about Israel, including that “The interests of Israelis are at odds with the interests of the rest of the world” (18%), that “Israel has too much control over global affairs” (19%), and that “Israel exploits Holocaust victimhood for its own purposes” (20%).
