This is your regular reminder than the Americans who cheer the war in Gaza do not represent the majority of Jews in the US, not by a longshot.
missed this poll last month that shows 87% of american jews want a ceasefire deal in gaza and that 63% despise benjamin netanyahu, while 76% despise trump forward.com/fast-forward...
A new poll show eight other issues ranked higher than Israel, and wide differences between Orthodox and non-Orthodox Jews.
I'm kind of surprised Netanyahu's unfavorables aren't higher. Or, really, that his favorables are so high. I can see not wanting to go so far as to condemn him to pollster, but for almost one in three American Jews to express active support?

But there are a few Jewish billionaires who want tax cuts (e.g., Marcus, Yass, Ackman) or support the Haredi in Israel (e.g., Adelson) that have outsized influence on the right. Additionally, they control AIPAC.
I think that's because very few American Jews are Zionists, whereas Netanyahu and his cronies are. There are parallels between what the Zionists are doing to Palestinians and what Hitler's Nazis did to Jews. IMO, there will be wars in the Middle East while sectarian states exist.
There's a reason why Israel focuses on evangelical Christians for social influencing as opposed to American Jews. They said as much publicly 3 years ago. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2021...

Thanks. I had no idea.
Would be curious to see stats on what % of Israelis despise Netanyahu. Cuz i think its prob more than 63%.
Most are weirdo Christian Zionists.
They do represent a majority of evangelical Christians.
