My question is why American Jews and even many Israelis assume the Diaspora consists of American Jews, and those outside of the US are carbon copies of American Jews in every way possible. The American Jews are incredibly different from the rest of the Diaspora, and it is disgusting to assume that Jews like me outside of the US are carbon copies of a very highly assimilated American Jewish population, with Reform , a social action movement with a tinge of Judaism as the major Jewish sect of non-Haredi in the US. Reform is negligible in the rest of the Diaspora and it has had hugely negative effects on American Jewry, with its decades long demonization of Israel and religious Jews, thus brainwashing their children and youth for decades, and their standing up for every minority including those who want to kill Jews, but refusing to standing up for Jews unless they worship Marx and their religion is Jew hating Progressivism. Due to total assimilation, and intermarriage, how many younger Jews are there left in the US other than the religious Jews, that actually identify fully as Jewish and not those who use the label Jew only to attack the Jewish community in the US?
Actually these figures are seem to show selective cherry-picking to boost the Ashkenazi Weltanschauung, omits many Jewish communities (eg major bases in southern hemisphere) and is probably overcounting non halachic subjects.
I am a non Jew in Canada. I am gay and have voted Conservative since 9/11 because the Conservative party here is pro Israel. I vote Conservative because of the Jews and Israel. The Liberals and NDP here are very anti-Semitic. It is disheartening to know that Jews will not vote for their own safety and security.
Ok all you American liberal/progressive jewish Democrats who even bother to know of the existence of this website or even give a shit that it exists and read it-weigh in. Let your numbers be heard!
I am a lifelong liberal voting Jew that started to have inklings in the early 20s that the progressive arm of the D party was rotten. 10/7 i am an independent leaning conservative and most of the Jews i know feel the same.
72yr lifelong liberal Independent Zionist living in conservative Arizona looking for new Jewish friends. Where do you live, I'll move there. I got no one to talk to.
It is abundantly clear that J Street managers only pays for polls when they have been assured the results will agree with what their slogan sheet. Same too with their donors who operate in missionary mode using information manipulation to get the outcome they want. Same too with the grassroots symbols who are drawn to savior psychology as a means to bolster their feelings of smug superiority. We need systematic deprogramming for this corrupt ecosystem.
Honestly, I can’t believe that we are still having this conversation. This is the most depressing news that I’ve heard today. I’m a Canadian Jew still in disbelief over our last Federal election.
First < I look at the thoughtful comments.... Most people I know who are Jewish or non Jewish are "pro Jewish." That doesn't necessarily mean pro Israel....I'm the polling older age spectrum ...still supportive of Israel. I hear contrary narratives....Oct. 7 was a reawakening of Jews...particularly all the younger Jews, observing Shabbat, learning about Israel, even going on the Birth Right tours, ( I'm now the dinosaur.)...or the opposite....young Jews...as New Yorker Magazine most recent analysis "growing" critical of Israeli policies in that right wing ethno state so unlike progressive Palestine/Hamas/ Pal authority. I just watched some of Fox and then some of NewsNation to try and get a perspective. The Jews outside of entertainment industry and academia ....just like the non Jews are the most sympathetic to Israel and to the current Trump policies even if they have a certain reserve about his character. So yes, J Street gets the numbers they want....I have no doubt of that. Quinnipeac hasn't called me in years nor has PEW and I have a lot to get off my chest. This is just my rambling thoughts, the others on this page made some very good observations....as have you. and a furthermore. My state university is giving an award to arch anti zionist non binary person m gessen....I wrote on FB glad I no longer attend. Next up

Because the vast VAST majority of Diaspora Jews are in America. Here is a partial country list of numbers of Jews in each country:
North America
United States – ~6,300,000
Canada – ~400,000
Europe
France – ~438,500
United Kingdom – ~313,000
Germany – ~125,000
Russia – ~123,000–165,000
Netherlands – ~35,000
Belgium – ~29,000
Italy – ~26,800
Switzerland – ~20,500
Sweden – ~14,900
Spain – ~13,000
Austria – ~10,300
Hungary – ~45,000
Ukraine – ~32,000
Exactly. The rest of the diaspora is negligible by comparison. Metro NYC has 1.4 million Jews. My city metro Detroit has 72,000.

I noted it was a partial list, and you can google or AI the same and additional questions about where the Jewish Diaspora is if you want to see.
Thx for the stats . I often have wondered about this.
There are a few people who have awakened but unfortunately there is still far too many whom you will just be hoping in vain for...

J Street is a shanda - I’m guessing they polled their own contact lists.
That was my first thought.
