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 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.
Zionist calling people coackroaches, classic stuff
Sure i am the zionist here, not the people promoting an article doing their best at conflating zionism with judaism. Sorry if i hurt your feeling pointing out that americans are shit.
The point of the article is that Jewish people are overwhelmingly Zionist. No one is conflating anything, it is a fact of the population. Worldwide, the majority of Jewish people are American and Israeli, and they overwhelmingly support Zionism. It is a really simple concept.
Weird that you’re trying to say I’m upset about “pointing out that [A]mericans are shit,” when I am neither American, pro American, nor am I defending Americans. I am instead saying that this poll proves the majority of Jewish people are American, and they are in favour of Zionism. I am the one saying that Americans are shit, and that includes the Zionist Jewish Americans, which is a majority of the entire globe’s Jewish population, because in the year 2026 Jewish people are overwhelmingly American.
These are also the most relevant countries to poll, since they are the ones providing the most support to the Zionist project, but relevancy isn’t important when you’re trying to obscure how popular support of Zionism is I guess.
Also, would love for you to address the question you have been asked by multiple people: which population of Jewish people is allowed to be consulted to get a picture of how supported Zionism is within Jewish groups?
