Shout out to those 18% of Jews
Y'all are real ones fr
On the contrary, I've been thinking that a lot of these pro-Palestine "Jews" are not actually Jewish. I am assuming that the responders to these polls self-identify. Then, I have found that a lot of people with Jewish "ancestry" consider themselves Jewish, even if they have never participated in a Jewish ceremony, and have no Jewish education whatsoever. I have also found that a lot of people who claim that they are Jewish actually have a (usually non-observant) Jewish father but a non-Jewish mother, which makes them non-Jewish (unless they are actively practicing Reform Judaism; even then, most non-Reform Jews would still not consider them Jewish). Or even just a Jewish paternal grandfather, because their last name is Jewish. I have found that a lot of such people, because of a lack of Jewish - or any religious education - oppose Israel, because reasons.
Then there are the several thousand Satmar Chassids in the USA, who are an entirely different matter.
Satmars are odd - most of them definitely aren't pro-Palestinian, they're just opposed to a secular state of Israel. Then there's Neturei Karta, which is a totally different breed and more akin to the Westboro Baptist Church than anything.
