Also for all those who claimed Jews supported the protests , turns out more Jews disapprove of the protests than republicans do .

Regardless of how you feel on the issue, policing Jews on their opinions isn't really your place. And I say that as someone who is mostly in the red camp on the graph.

Not surprising. Should be a larger margin though.

FYI, this sounds like a white Republican cheering on Candace Owens as his home girl.

The 1960s version of Computer89 would have opposed this too.

On the contrary, I've been thinking that a lot of these pro-Palestine "Jews" are not actually Jewish.  I am assuming that the responders to these polls self-identify.  Then, I have found that a lot of people with Jewish "ancestry" consider themselves Jewish, even if they have never participated in a Jewish ceremony, and have no Jewish education whatsoever.  I have also found that a lot of people who claim that they are Jewish actually have a (usually non-observant) Jewish father but a non-Jewish mother, which makes them non-Jewish (unless they are actively practicing Reform Judaism; even then, most non-Reform Jews would still not consider them Jewish).  Or even just a Jewish paternal grandfather, because their last name is Jewish.  I have found that a lot of such people, because of a lack of Jewish - or any religious education - oppose Israel, because reasons.

Then there are the several thousand Satmar Chassids in the USA, who are an entirely different matter.

Cool, I guess now we’re saying people aren’t from a religion based on their ideological opinions on one issue.

Also, how does 18% of anything bother some people that much? Honestly, needing a consensus on anything for validation borders cultism.

Notice how 14% of Muslims also happen to be against.

So who gets to decide which jewish people aren't "real" jews? Just curious.

Since you liked his post saying that the 18% of Jews are real ones, can we assume you're Jewish? I missed if this has been discussed before.

I'm not jewish but have been mistaken for being jewish before. To be clear, "real ones" is young millennial / zoomer slang and not meant to be taken literally.

[Progressive Pessimist]

No real surprise there.

Protests tend to backfire these days, no matter how just the cause is.

Satmars are odd - most of them definitely aren't pro-Palestinian, they're just opposed to a secular state of Israel. Then there's Neturei Karta, which is a totally different breed and more akin to the Westboro Baptist Church than anything.

Someone on Discord posted a description of the current state of polling as saying that the median American position is "Give the protesters most of what they want, but also have the police crack the protesters' skulls open. Also have the police crack the counterprotesters' skulls open."

This summary seems largely accurate?

Broadly speaking, I think the entire conflict just makes most people very sad and they don’t like thinking about it.

To the Zionists, anyone that dares to criticize the state of Israel. Israel is off-limits in American political discourse, as you'd be label an antisemite by the people backing the genocide in Gaza. Even when the person in question doing the criticism is Jewish.

Socialists/left wingers are largely atheist. It would make sense the majority of self identified atheists support the Palestine cause.

There’s no genocide in Gaza. It’s an ugly and regrettable urban war.

I expected it to be a lot more lopsided tbh.
