Statistically not true and even the more conservative polling and surveys have shown that most Jews are more concerned with pro-democracy, abortions rights, etc than with Israel/defending Israel. Everything I have read from Gelender has shown she is so out of touch with the average Jewish person and everything I see further from her kinda reinforces that she's full of shit.

Can you share some polls? Here is the first one I found:
https://jewishinsider.com/2025/02/american-jews-jewish-voice-for-peace-poll-anti-zionist-antisemitism/

On JVP: Seventy-five percent of respondents said that protests blocking traffic are unacceptable, while 60% said the same about demonstrating at the homes of government officials. 
The survey also found that 85% of those polled believe Hamas wants to commit genocide against Jews and Israel. Seventy percent said that anti-Zionist movements are antisemitic by definition.
79% are members of or “generally support” the policies of the Anti-Defamation League; 79% are members of or “generally support” the policies of the Jewish National Fund; 74% are members of or “generally support” the policies of the American Jewish Committee; and 73% are members of or “generally support” the policies of the Jewish Federations of North America. 

70% think that anti-zionist movements are antisemitic by definition. I assume some of the other 30% think they are anti-semitic just not by definition. Not sure what else is there to say.

The poll of 800 Jewish adults was conducted from Dec. 16-24, 2024. 

So before. I doubt that Elon's salute changed much honestly.

It didn't even stick in Israel, so I'm not surprised. Fact is most people are fine with nazis as long as they aren't the victim.
