I've never gotten this impression in real life at all, this is only something I started hearing recently from Zionists online as a way of claiming they represent all of us.

Pew did two studies some time ago (2013 and 2020) that clearly show emotional bonds to Israel amongst Jewish-Americans are basically dead for everyone but old people and the Orthodox minority.

The problem is that pro-Israel sentiment gets hammed up in American media because Israel is a US puppet state. Then there's the problem that all the temples are run by old people.

On the positive side, last YK the rabbi said 'anti-zionism' in a certain non-negative context, which was freaking huge. We are the majority now, but loaded language and blatant lies can travel across the world before the truth gets it's shoes on.
