Why Do Young People View Israel Less Favorably?

Because the Israel of today is not their parent’s Israel.

They are a victim of their success, like you said. They are also a victim of their political goals and also the trap set for them by the terrorists. With no peace they will always look like a bully and the terrorists will not give them peace at a price Israel will accept. Until Israel gives the Palestinians back the land they want they will give Israel no peace. No peace means Israel can be portrayed as evil. If Israel give the Palestinians the land it hurts Israelis too much to be accepted. If Israel accepts the Palestinians as citizens then Israel is no longer a Jewish state.

Rock and Hard Place. It will get harder, the radicals will just keep driving the wedge.
