11. Maybe you should think of the reason
Your question would be like assuming that all Catholics thought the same thing about the Prime Minister of Italy or if all Episcopalians thought the same thing about David Cameron.

In some ways it is worse. In that it asks if all Jews, world wild have some loyalty to the government of Israel and its leader. The fact is Netanyahu has 27 of over 100 seats in Israel's Parliament - and even his party does not always agree 100% with him.

In addition, American Jews are CONSIDERABLY more likely to be liberals, progressives, and Democrats than the rest of the American party. Whether 2000, 2004, or 2008 - the Democrats got at least 75% of the Jewish vote. In addition, Jstreet polled American Jews last year and about 80% agreed with them on the solution being a 2 state solution. (Jews far preferred JStreet's position to AIPAC's - though they were I think not labeled as such.)

In fact, you will find that the demographic most angered by this manufactured disagree is not American Jews, but rw Christian evangelicals. (Not to mention - Jews are about 2 % of the US)
