American Jews have always needed incentive to support Israel.
I've never understood that. Any idea why that is?
“American Jews have always needed incentive to support Israel.”
“I’ve never understood that. Any idea why that is?”
That claim is not a true statement. The three times a day prayer services of the Jewish people, recited with dedication to God for thousands of years in exile includes the prayer for remembrance of and return to Jerusalem/Zion. Even the simplest Jew knew from a young age that the Holy Land is the homeland of the Jewish people, as stated by the Almighty. This remembrance of Jerusalem/Zion is in every day’s prayers 100 times! Yes, some Jews, like some of all religions, were brainwashed/bamboozled by anti-Semitic propaganda in the 20th century that managed to hide its motives in the minds of some naive people of all religions.
