(69,347 posts)Well, I know for a fact that not all Jewish Americans support the creation of Israel at all. Full stop. I personally know Jewish Americans who don't think Israel ever should have been created. And they said so for many years
Next, I personally know many Jewish Americans who disagree with Israeli policies, and not just recently. Their disagreement goes way back, decades. In fact, I can't think of a single Jewish American I know personally who supports or has ever supported Netanyahu.
I'm not Jewish. As far as I know, not one Jewish ancestor. My 23andMe profile is boringly WASP. So I don't have an opinion about Zionism vs not Zionism but even I, with my limited experience, know that this has been a very difficult, heartbreakingly difficult issue for Jewish people. I feel compassion for why Israel was created, and I recognize there were not perfect solutions possible.
If you don't know any Jewish people who don't support "what Israel is doing in Gaza" then I don't think you know many - or even one - Jewish person.
