Last year in August 2025, I published my article Jews are NOT Oppressed: The Myth of Systemic Antisemitism. In it, I included an exhaustive list of polling data I gathered from around the internet on the opinion of Jews worldwide towards Israel. Most of the surveys were conducted after the start of the 2023 Gaza genocide. The results showed consistent and overwhelming support for Israel among the global Jewish population, with a rough weighted total average of over 85%.
In this article, I decided to go through newer polling data released since August 2025 to see if things have changed a year after I published my initial findings. Below is a summary of results from surveys I found of American, Canadian, British and Israeli Jews in descending order of recency.
The results show that while favorability toward Israel has declined compared to previous years, it remains in the majority across all countries. A majority of Jews polled also do not even consider Israel's actions in Gaza constitute a genocide. Most importantly, the question at the core of Zionism—whether Israel should exist as a Jewish state—still commands overwhelming approval.
Israel's Right to Exist as a Jewish State • US: 72-87% support Israel's right to exist; 66-83% say denying this is antisemitic.
• UK: 81-82% support its right to exist.
• Canada: 92% support its right to exist.
• Israel: 87% say Zionism is not racist; 85% identify as Zionist; 1% as Anti-Zionist.
Attachment to & Favorability of Israel:
• US: 55-71% have a favorable view or feel emotionally attached to Israel; 63% say supporting Israel is important to their Jewish identity; 70-83% view Israeli people favorably.
• UK: 75% feel emotionally attached.
• Canada: 69% feel emotionally attached. Views on the Gaza War & Genocide
• US: 73% say Israel's immediate response to Oct. 7 was justified; 42-46% say ongoing operations are justified; 49-78% deny genocide.
• UK: 81% deny genocide.
• Canada: 70% say Israel's actions are legal/legitimate; 87-90% deny genocide; 64% do not blame Israel for famine.
• Israel: 71-92% rate the IDF highly; 68% want Israel to stay in Gaza; 61% deny famine reports.
Aid & Arms to Israel:
• US: Only 26% support stopping financial and military assistance; 59% support sending more arms.
• Canada: Only 20% support an arms embargo on Israel; 71% support increased aid to Israeli civil society. Antisemitism & Anti-Zionism
• US: 83% say too many critics of Israel use antisemitic tropes; 38-54% view certain anti-Israel actions as antisemitic; 89% say anti-Zionism is linked to antisemitism.
• Canada: 45% say calling Israel "apartheid” is definitely antisemitic; 45% say calling it "genocide" is definitely antisemitic.
• Israel: 78% say anti-Zionism is linked to antisemitism; 68% say boycotts are antisemitic.
Based on the latest polling evidence, little has fundamentally changed. While favorability toward Israel and approval of its conduct have shifted somewhat, overall support for Israel—particularly its status as a "Jewish state"—remains nearly unchanged, with the vast majority of Jews continuing to back the Zionist project, even as they express reservations about its current government.
So one must ask: given the facts presented here—nearly three years into a genocide carried out by the “Jewish state,” by Jews, for Jews, at the expense of non-Jews, with the overwhelming support of Jews worldwide—why does the Western “pro-Palestine” movement spend so much time and energy doing free PR for Jews? Why go so far as to lie on their behalf about what they actually believe? The Western left loves to talk about "centring voices." Well, this is what they've said. So why speak over them?
why not?
Because they're not Jewish and Israel is a Jewish ethnostate. This is what happens to Christians there https://lemmy.ml/post/51945225
Israel is only a "Jewish Ethnostate" because it was supported in that sense by the non-Jewish Zionist west, particularly The UK and US, which are dominated by Christian Zionists. The UK and US had no problem colonizing other places without Zionist Jews, including all surrounding colonial states and they could colonize Palestine without them too if they wanted to (but they don't want to because they are Zionists).
You put Jewish ethnostate in quotes...
Absolutely not. Israel is a Jewish ethnostate because a very dedicated Jewish Zionist community used significant wealth and influence to market themselves as a useful tool for Western interests for the specific purpose of wanting to create a Jewish ethnostate. Such as the Rotschilds with Balfour.
That's not to say that they did it all by themselves. They always try to align themselves with others, usually the absolute worst people. The Havaara agreement with Hitler. Selling weapons to Apartheid South Africa, the genocide in Bosnia and every other genocide you can think of. Their current allegiance with Gulf, the USA, blood diamond dictators in Africa etcetera. Similarly their lobby group always tries to align with others. Like Evangelical Christians and even their own non-Zionist Jewish community has been almost completely converted to Zionism over the past century.
You are correct that the USA and other have colonized other places but Palestine was specifically a Zionist Jewish incentive and to this day only Jews can go colonize Palestine.
Your history is not quite accurate here. British political Evangelical Zionism predates Jewish Zionism as major political movement by a couple of generations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church%27s_Ministry_Among_Jewish_People
Jewish political Zionism was instituted by western, rich, assimlitaed Jews who allied themselves with Christian Zionists beginning in the 1880s and 1890s, not the other way around. The Balfour Declaration bears the name of its virulently antisemtic author who wanted to solve the Jewish Question through deportation of English Jews to Palestine, and passed the declaration over the objection of the only Jewish member of the cabinet. It also aligned nicely with the colonial regime being instituted in the former Ottoman territories where the British and French installed loyal minorities (and often alien) as the rulers of the new states, with Zionist Jews serving that role in Palestine.
The Jewish-supremacist state that has evolved out of that project has certainly done all of the terrible things you say (and then some). And the current laws of the state limit those who can colonize Palestine to those it deems to be "Jews" (which includes most Christian converts and does not include anti-Zionist Jews).
I think where you and I differ is about who is ultimately in control. The idea that the settler colonial project could last a week without total support from the non-Jewish Zionist states is not correct. It only has the power to do what it does to the extent its Sponsor (the Anglo-American Empire in this case) sees supporting it is in the Sponsor's best interest. The military and political leadership of the US has long said that "if there wasn't an Israel in the Middle East, we would have to create one" because of the interests of the US, not the Jews. It's a "permanent air craft carrier" in the Middle East, which must be controlled because of the world's petroleum-based economy and dollar system.
I think why I'm harping on it is because the Zionist Jews are the tip of the spear for the project, just like the convicts in Australia, the non-Anglican Protestants (and all of their enslaved Africans) in what became the 13 US colonies, and, most recently, the "migrants" in North Africa being sent into Spanish territory. But focusing on the tip of the spear can make one lose focus of the thrower of the spear, which will happily make a new spear and a new tip once the old one is used up.
British Zionism does predate it but the idea of creating a Jewish ethnostate was just appealing to some Jews which then decided to implement that.
The Balfour declaration was because of large money donations and loans from the Rotschilds to the British. Which gets obvious when you see whom it is addressed to
Similar with Zionist Jews collaboration with the Nazis they saw a chance to collaborate with a party to further their own agenda at the cost of non-Zionist Jews.
But this is incorrect. Israel has swapped allegiance between imperialist countries many times and done plenty of realignment. From Britain to France to America to whatever superpower they can align with next. Whenever the US goes down Israel will gladly switch to align more with Russia or any other party willing to collaborate with it. Organizations like AIPAC do not exist to serve imperial interest nor does Israel. Just look at the Iran war for that. The US is destroying itself for Israel.
It was addressed to Lord Rothschild because Rothschild was the British Foreign Secretary at that time. And by 1917, there was certainly significant collaboration between British and the rich Zionist Jews. But the political project of Zionist had been a major force in British Protestantism for several hundred years before being taken up in earnest by Jewish Zionists in the 1890s, particularly following the Dreyfus Affair. You can see the evolution in these two nato-pedia articles (sorry for using nato-pedia):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism
Jewish Zionism was built on the foundations of major Christian movements based on converting Jews into dispensational millenarians, which was much easier to do following the Dreyfus affair and the rise of nationalism in Europe. Then a gory process of culling and power took place, where Western Europeans allied with the Zionists (who had adopted their goal) and the Zionist helped cull the non-Zionist Jewish population by collaborating with the Nazis and others. Then both collaborated with each other to simultaneously block Jewish emigration to most countries following the Holocaust and making the only landing spot available Palestine, where they would be used as the front line of the colonial project.
And remember, if it is a settler-colonial state (which it is), it is a "colony" which implies that is serves a colonial empire (in this case, the Anglo-American empire)
I mean we're just doing hypercope at this point. The Rotschild family was a rich Jewish family which bankrolled wars for the British and they bought on to the idea of a Jewish ethnostate because they just liked the idea. Sure a Christian might have come up with it but that doesn't mean Jews got forced into accepting it. They didn't get dumped into Palestine. The (then more fringe) Zionist sect of Judaism put in a ton of work to create their own little ethnostate.
