"DeMogge" is correct that young people "are drifting away because they have a much weaker sense of shared Judeo-Christian civilizational identity". But don't assume that the key factor is religion per se. For support of Israel, the key factor seems to be understanding that Jews are indigenous to the Land of Israel.
Undergraduates have told me that opinions on Israel on campus boil down to the key issue of whether people believe that Jews are indigenous to the Land of Israel. Many young people know little about history and genetics and form opinions based on silly criteria such as 23andMe listing Ashkenazi Jews as European rather than Mediterranean or Middle Eastern. To fill this gap I addressed the question of Jews and the Land of Israel head-on in https://www.jns.org/genetics-can-bring-jews-and-arabs-together/
Totally agree that a US sovereign wealth fund is a terrible idea. Let investors choose investments, not the government. I hope this was just Trump shooting off his mouth and that this will be one idea that will not be implemented.
The suspension of the Mexico tariffs after Mexico pledged steps to reduce fentanyl and illegal immigrants crossing the border suggest that Trump is using tariffs more as a threat than for their own sake.
Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum did a good job of projecting reasonableness by agreeing with Trump's goals instead of escalating a tariff war. In contrast, PM Justin Trudeau acted like a loser, talking tough from a position of weakness rather than agreeing that Trump's goals are both reasonable and important. Trudeau later reversed course and followed Claudia Sheinbaum's lead.
