I think it would really enrich the lives of “American Jews” if they were all deported and had to live in Israel for a year. I think then they would understand what “NEVER AGAIN” means.

The problem is that there really are lots of Jews that feel this way. Now they may not be conservative Jews, but they consider themselves Jews in some sense. None of them have a desire to return to Israel, and they even waffle on the necessity of having a Jewish nation (in any meaningful sense ) at all.
A further problem that I notice is that Christian Evangelicals seem to pine for the existence of Israel more than most extra-national Jews. It’s like a parent who wants their kids to behave much more than the kid wants to behave.
