Americans by a nearly 20 point margin disapprove of Palestinian protests on campuses

Shout out to those 18% of Jews

Y'all are real ones fr

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.

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.
