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?
This isn’t studying the opinion of Jews worldwide, your study is limited to the English speaking countries in the global North, plus Israel.
The United States by itself has 6.3 million of 8.5 million Jewish diaspora according to wiki
Then call them american jews. Drawing general conclusions from polls of AMERICANS is insane, regardless if the US holds most of the jewish population.
Did i stutter? Polls from hitlerite nations citizens give hitlerite results, it’s not that hard to understand. Their jewishsness is irrelevant really, make the same poll on other canadian/american/british and you’ll get the same results.
What ‘non-hitlerite nation’ do you expect to pull different results from?
Gotta ask the 1500 Jewish Cubans
Israel obviously :smuglord:
They call me insane as if there’s secretly a billion Jews in China they forgot to ask
True, but its still pretty accurate because that’s where most Jews live (English speaking global north), minus Israel.

Its still very disingenous. You can make literally any group look terrible by interviewing american diasporoids. You’d think cubans are monsters if you generalize their views from polls of cuban-americans.
Except that in case of the diasporoids from those other countries, they are a TINY minority largely disconnected from the main population they “represent”.
Whereas in case of the Jews, it’s the opposite. You keep telling us in this thread that we should be asking the opinions of the Jews in some random countries where they form some insignificant minority largely disconnected from the main concentrations of Jews instead.
The VAST majority of world Jews live either in Israel or America. American Jews are not the diaspora.
So if you can’t ask the americans their opinions because they are a diaspora (despite that being the largest population of jewish people worldwide), then you have to poll…the Zionist entity? Because those are the non-diaspora? Which is therefore truly representative, right? I bet you’ll get real anti-Zionist representation then.
You can ask their opinion, but you can’t just declare it the general opinion of jews. American jews are fundamentally different than other jews, because they are AMERICAN. it’s not that hard to understand.
They are fundamentally the majority of Jewish people. America is over half of the world’s Jewish population. If you add in the entity, that is over 80%!! If you add in Canada and Britain, that’s over 85%!! you’re literally arguing you shouldn’t include over 85% of the world’s Jewish population to gauge the opinions of Jewish people worldwide. You have got to be fucking kidding me.
The American exceptionalism brainworms are strong
Do you even know what american exceptionalism means? 😂 When i say americans are fundamentally different than the rest it’s not a compliment buddy. Keep the obsession with jewishness, for i all care y’all are not gonna do anything anyways.
This is used when someone is serious and definitely making good arguments that support their goofy position
Tell me more about how it’s disingenuous to include the overwhelming majority of a population when trying to poll a population for their opinions on something.
Oh i’m the goofy one here, sorry for not drawing conclusions on entire ethnic groups by polls made in the US. I find it more goofy that hexbearers flood these threads like cockroaches whenever there is any pushback. Specially when it’s abundantly obvious that the OP is as anti-semitic as it gets.

Israel and the US are the same country.
Agree, which is why i find it insane to draw up conclusions from polls on americans, which are in all shape in form the same thing as israelis.
No, I mean, they aren’t diaspora. They’re home.
Uh no, they’re not indigenous to america, they’re diasporoids in all shape and form. Settler states are diaspora states, the US being the biggest one ever.
Settlers and diaspora are different groups. A diaspora is a dispersion of a population, they’re scattered while maintaining their own distinct culture and identity. Settlers, rather than being dispersed and scattered, are strategically concentrated to displace the indigenous population and to make their distinct culture and identity into the dominant one of the settler project.
Jews can be thought of as settlers in the US, but “diaspora” implies a level of distinction and separation that simply isn’t there.
