    They are less likely to support Israel, because American Jews who do support Israel move there and join their favourite settler colony where they get to be the upper class.

      The vast majority haven’t left for Israel tho, it’s something like 0.04% of American Jews that leave every year, or 2% across the last 50 years. US Jewish population has actually grown in size way more than its shrunk

        Huh, I had no idea it was only about 2% across the last 50 years, I would’ve thought it was much higher than that. I might be thinking of general immigration statistics and not those focused on specific groups.

          Yeah Israel’s immigrants come from a bunch of countries, American immigrants make up barely 10% of them. They get roughly just as many immigrants from France as America, and twice as many Russian Jews as American Jews every year
