As Passover begins, most U.S. Jews oppose the war in Iran
Salt Lake Tribune ^ | April 1, 2026 | Yonat Shimron

With Passover poised to begin Wednesday at sundown, a new poll shows a majority of American Jews oppose the joint U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, even as 90% of them say they oppose the Iranian regime.

The poll, commissioned by J Street, the liberal Zionist advocacy and lobby group, found that 60% of U.S. Jews oppose the war and 77% do not believe “President Trump has a clear plan and mission for the war.”

Another poll of U.S. Jews, by the Jewish Electorate Institute, released Monday, showed similar results, with 55% of American Jews opposing military action against Iran. The two polls show that Jewish attitudes against the war are comparable to the opposition among all Americans (58% opposition in the Fox News poll conducted March 20-23).

The poll suggests a growing rift between U.S. Jews and Israeli Jews who have thus far supported the Iran war.

“This data is a wake-up call for anyone claiming to speak for the American Jewish community while beating the drums of war,” J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami said in a statement. “Most American Jews see this war for what it is: a reckless, unforced error by a president who has no clear, achievable goals or an exit strategy.”

The poll results come just before the Passover holiday, which celebrates the Exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. This is the third year in which the holiday of freedom is celebrated during a time when Israelis — and now the U.S. — are engaged in war.

Orthodox Jews were the only group that supported the war in Iran, but they form a small fraction (about 9%) of the U.S. Jewish population.

Most US Jews are anything but religious, least faithful of any faith. Cultural Jews only.

Bible is full of Jews condemned for their rebellion against God.

Those polled “CLAIMED” they were Jews, but since they watch CNN why believe anything they are purported to say?

If not now, then when?

If not this way, then how?

And Condie Rice? Eeek! One of the most incompetent NSA chiefs ever, whiffing on 9/11, and then embarking on the democratic Muslim nations transformation magical mystery tour as secretary of state...

Well, keep in mind, these are the same kind of people who elected a wholly unqualified and radical Muslim as mayor of NYC.

A long history of poor cultural and political decisions that have borne dire consequence
Yet they refuse to learn
A resistance to the host time and again bears bitter fruit from the fairly benign English expulsion to the horrors of Nazism

And now opposing actions that benefit not only them but western civilization and by extension their identity kinfolks who live in range

It’s a stupidity honestly those who succumb to it

I’m out of advice for them

These Democrat aligned polling groups like the one mentioned dramatically oversamples leftists. One way to do that is by screening out religious people. If you’re posting this crap to expose how propagandists operate fine. But if it’s to amplify leftist propoganda and corruption then you are one of them

Which is why I hate polls and have no use for them regardless of what they say.

Polls were supposed to be a tool to reveal public opinion....most are now a tool to sway public opinion.

I’ve always supported these people. Not anymore. If they support monsters who are out to kill them, there is no longer a need for them to seek asylum here. SEND THEM HOME. We need to cut some DemonRAT voters anyway with Joe Pedo 20 Million that he imported here. There are too many of them here.

I believe Ben Shapiro points out that most Jews are not Jews.

Meaning: Someone is a Jew as an ethnic identity. Depending on your parents and grandparents, you may be a Jew. But that doesn’t mean you go to temple, or care about Judaism at all. You may be a Jew, but you are not a Jew.

It’s different for Christians, because they are not an ethnic identity. Your parents or grandparents may be Christian. You may have grown up going to church. But if you abandon your faith, you are “an atheist”. You are no longer a “Christian”. It’s a change in identity because you don’t care about the religion. But Jews are Jews whether they care or not. The reality is that many Jews are not Jews at all. Lots of them are just communists.

Would they rather wait 10 years and have Iran with numerous nuclear weapons and the missiles to send them all over the world? But I guess they also would not like to have anyone deal with the unsustainable debt until it ruins the United States. Many politicians can only think about being elected.

The poll is done by George Sorso’s J Street, which calls itself Zionist while actually working for Israel’s destruction.

The entire basis of the article is a lie.

The poll is a fake J Street poll. Ignore twice.
