Are Most Jews STILL Zionist? One Year Later (tariqacknickulous.substack.com)

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?

But because they hit the sweet spot of what those powers already wanted, they found themselves flushed with the full power of those non-Jewish but fanatically Zionist empires.

What sweet spot? Do you think they magically accidentally came accross this? They put in a ton of effort for these different allegiances. Hell they aligned with the literal Nazis for this there was no low they wouldn't stoop to. But it didn't all magically start with the Nazis. Zionist Jews jumped on different opportunities for their own agenda.

When Joe Biden says “if there wasn’t an Israel, we would have to create one” why don’t you take him at his word?

Because Biden is literally the top recipient of AIPAC. His entire career was made by supporting Israel. And that sentence was an excuse to get Americans to support Israel. He's their guy. Thank you for proving my point.

You sound like a Piker fan so you're just gonna go on the Liberal Zionist blocklist. Go watch the BadEmpanada video and go educate yourself instead of being the incredible detriment to Palestinians you are.

What no theory does to a person smh.

Bad Empanada is a reactionary chud and Piker is a massive lib. The fact that they are your only point of reference lets me know you are probably still a child. You basically fell for capitalist antisemitism and don't understand basic material analysis, so you will continue to repeat the mistakes of history. Next you'll tell me that your grandfather bravely fought against the invading Russians . . . in 1944.

You would be well served to open a history book or two and maybe engage with materialism while you are at it. Funny telling me to educate myself when you clearly have no sense of anything that happened prior to your own lifetime and the context in which current events are taking place. Your original comment was that the empire could not colonize Palestine without Zionist Jews, even though they simultaneously colonized every single other West Asian country in parallel with their colonization of Palestine without them and could easily do so in Palestine without them too.

I know it is painful to be criticized from your left when you have probably deluded yourself into thinking you are as left as they come, but it's time to grow up and move on from fake leftist children like BE.

Sincerely, M
