Study: 80 Percent of U.S. Jews Say They Are Pro-Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Jeremy Sharon - 80% of American Jews describe themselves as pro-Israel and more than 70% say their personal attachment to Israel is as strong or stronger than it was five years ago, according to a new poll conducted for the Ruderman Family Foundation by the Mellman Group on a sample of 2,500 U.S. Jews. 67% said they were "attached" or "very attached" to Israel on an emotional level. At the same time, 57% identified as "pro-Israel but also critical of Israeli policy." "It appears doomsday talks about an irreversible chasm between Israel and the American Jewish community were mistaken," said Jay Ruderman, president of the Ruderman Family Foundation.
