The American Jewish Council's Annual Survey of Jewish Opinion shows that over one quarter of Jews in the United States define the current state of relations between the US and Israel as negative.
When asked to characterize relations between Israel and the United States, 10% chose “very positive,” 63% “somewhat positive,” 22% “somewhat negative” and another 4% “very negative.”

They will still vote for Obama and Democrats.
25% - what does it take? Obama bombs Israel, poll goes to 49% - sick indeed!
74% have no grip on reality.
Keep in mind many American Jews now are so liberal they favor the Palestinians.
So does Ozero have to plunge a knife into Bibi’s chest during a visit to the w/h for the Jewish community to get the point?
The Israeli Jews probably don’t concur.
No dear Friend! You are overly optimistic!
If OBOZO HUSSEIN Nuked ISRAEL tomorrow! The Poll would probably go up to only 29% of the US Jewish Voters disapproving of OBOZO’S Relationship with the Now Non Existant Motherland of Israel! I cannot understand their philosophies and actions this close after the Holocaust of All Atrocities! Do they Love Persecutions?
I’ve long wondered how many Jews voted for the Nazi’s?
More to the point, about 3/4 of US Jews are socialists first and Jews second. That explains a lot.
“More to the point, about 3/4 of US Jews are socialists first and Jews second. That explains a lot.”
It does, indeed. Thanks for posting that, and starting to clear up a long-standing puzzle for me.
Can you say why this fact is so, and how it came about?
The Cliff Notes version: Ancestors of today's US Jews came here a century ago, fleeing violent persecution in Eastern Europe and Russia. The political opposition with whom they were allied in their homelands was proto-socialist/communist/secular, and that philosophy was brought here, taking root in the Democrat party and flourishing in the New Deal.
My co-religionists' enterprise and gift for argument infected the wider culture, and here we are.
My family came over after WW2, having enjoyed the hospitality of both Hitler's National Socialists and Josef Stalin's purge-mad Communists. It's easy to see why I don't fit in with my fellow secular US Jews.
I've never seen any statistics (period opinion polls, etc,) one way or the other and have long thought it would be an interesting area to research. If you are aware of any such research, please direct me to it.
The second book of Richard J. Evans’ trilogy on the Third Reich talks about the voting patterns of different German groups. He was my source.
Thanks! I'll try and obtain the set.
