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?
When it comes to 1.2 billion Indians (including its 250m Muslims): 33% of Indians who’re BJP = those ******** are all Muslim genociders
When it comes to white Jews: you only asked 85% of them!!! We need more data
Yeah there's some massive double standards when it comes to judeophobia vs literally any other kind of bigotry. For libs, I get it, since they can't tell up from down anyway. But among commies, the royal treatment is baffling.
Like, sure, not all Zionists are Jews and many of its most ardent supporters are Christians, but it's also true that Jews are Zionists, almost universally so. It feels like people are ignoring the latter by constantly emphasizing the former. We should take this seriously and put blame where blame is due because Jews are supporting Zionism materially via fundraisers, stolen land sales, and outright colonization. The lionizing of judeophobia as some sort of transcendental, eternal law of nature only serves Israel.
If Jews are racist, it's because the poll was rigged. If Jews are criminal, it's due to targeted misreporting. If Jews commit genocide, it's because they were tricked into doing it. It's ridiculous and I can't think of a single other demographic that gets treated with kid gloves like this.
I've definitely seen leftists claim that the Assad governments were "genocidal" against Sunnis because of the high amount if Sunni casualties during the Civil War and Hafez' crackdowns. They also point to the majority Alawite leadership within the military.
This ignores the fact that:
A) The majority of Syrians are Sunni, and therefore a Civil War would obviously represent that in its casualties.
B) The Sunni ideology that was being suppressed was foreign to Syria, being Wahabbi influenced imported by Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arab states.
C) The point about the ethnic over represetation in the military high command could also be used against Kurds in the SDF (something they won't bat an eye at). The reason for that Alawite dominance had more to do with the Assad family being overly represented, themselves being Alawites.
Obviously the nepotism was a problem, but the alternative was a literal headchopping fundamentalist. Western leftists love to ignore Al-Jazeera's Arabic coverage of the civil war. Qatar explicitly platformed Wahabbi fundamentalists that were calling for the eradication of Shias and Alawites from Syria.
These people were not just speaking about the nepotism and corruption of the Assad family. They held Alawites, and their Shia allies, collectively responsible as a group, and called for the exact slaughter that we're seeing against minorities in Syria today.
It's like western leftists brains turn off for thus topic I swear. When you tell them, "if you want to know how Israel really thinks, check the Hebrew sources" they'll understand immediately. However when you use that same logic for Syria, and tell them to look into what the prominent Arabic media is saying, they'll just blank face you and say that the Assads were genocidal.
You're right. I was too hasty to dismiss the comparison. The international left did play a major role in justifying the war on Syria.
The point you make about how there is criticism of Shia/Alawi but not the SDF is an important one. Kurdish Zionists also get the "smol bean ethno-supremacy" treatment. The primary difference maybe is there's plenty of Kurds who aren't traitors or Kurdish zionists.
westerners have an odd attachment to the zionist narrative that jews are special little gems whose suffering and oppression is worth more than anyone else's.
they would have had no problem with hitler murdering domestic and foreign communists, as well waging genocidal warfare on the peoples of the ussr. in fact, equivalent ideas get celebrated more and more openly nowadays.
the slavic or romani victims or the political prisoners who suffered the same or even worse abuses in the same camps by the same fascist parasites as the jews don't get to be immortalized in western literature or film or music or other arts.
despite the fact, that racism against slavic peoples was (read: is) at the very core of hitlerite ideology, westerners never as much as acknowledge it, instead celebrating the death of hundreds thousands of slavic people in a conflict caused by western capital. and despite the crimes, that the hitlerites perpetrated against the the romani population, anti-romani racism remains just as common as life itself.
the role of communists resisting the hitlerite tyranny is also consistently played down, if not outright ignored, with some reactionarys even growing brazen enough to call them traitors. the goal is to portray communism as something foreign, from which "the nation" needs to be protected.
the average european zionazi is thus trained from birth to never admit that slavs and communists, not jews, were the primary victims of nazism, both in numbers as well as chronologically.
Insane comment to make. My problem is polling people from the most reactionary countries on earth (USA, ENGLAND, CANADA) and generalizing their views. Imagine if you made up your mind on Iran based on what iraniam-americans think, surely you can see the problem here? Heck you will conclude that latin americans are worse than hitler due the same process.
Does a plurality of Iranian people live in the US?
No and it doesn't matter, the point is that they're fucking americans and their views are reactionary because they're fucking americans, not due ethnic group or religion. It's literally hitlerite to care this much about jews.
Is it hitlerite to ignore Palestinian and Arab voices who have said as much as this?
Let me put things into perspective: if you were a Palestinian or some other Arab, these Jewish zionists you are so eager to defend and protect from the mildest criticism would still rather see you and your family slaughtered and your home given to one of their own.
They are despicable people who don't deserve any of the PR you're doing for them. This IS how they feel.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
Edit: and I should add (so that you don't accuse me of anti-Semitism) that I don't think every single jew on the planet thinks like this.
Edit2: without doxing myself, I am west asian. I've had friends and family directly impacted by this "war"
So antizionist Jews are Hitlerites got it
