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?

The people attempting to make excuses for this or who try and question the motives of the original author are revealing themselves either to be zionist or gullible enough to have fallen for the zionist counter-insurgency against the anti-Israel movement. Personally, if a poll came out on the worldwide opinion of white people on white nationalism and showed an overwhelming support for these things across multiple countries, no one here would be making these kinds of arguments. If 92% of white Canadians were revealed to be neo-nazis, no one would shy away from saying something about it. If 63% of Americans said it was important to their identity to support the existence of a white ethnostate, no one here would be trying to say that we should centre "white voices" in the struggle against that ethnostate. If 87% of white South Africans were found to claim that apartheid isn't racist and 85% identified themselves as white nationalists, no one here would be trying to defend that or be playing PR defence for them.

    Copying here for better visibility:

    How antisemitic of you!!!

    In seriousness, as a Palestinian, I see jewish zionists as the top of the caste system in the west, not just in "israel".

    I would say "white jewish zionists" but that's not even the case since I knew a korean girl adopted by a jewish zionist family reaping the benefits just as much as her white counterparts.

    Norm Finklestein even said it himself, there are many benefits to being jewish, and the default assumption in the workplace or in academia is that if you are jewish you are zionist until proven otherwise. You can get jobs out of college much easier, just based on your last name alone, you can't even call it nepotism because you don't even need any kind of relationship with someone beforehand for them to give you preferential treatment, how is it not a caste system?

    Jewish zionists have many privileges over white people, for example, they can decide at any moment they want to live somewhere else, and they can just move to another country and steal somebody else's house. It's a privilege granted to jewish zionists that even white americans don't have.

    If they need to evade the law, they can seek refuge in the illegitimate state, they don't even need to have money for that kind of privilege! Many middle-to-lower-class, non-exceptional pedophiles from the US have sought refuge in "israel" over the years.

    One can't even criticize the illegitimate state publicly without smear campaigns, bank accounts closing, and frivolous lawsuits. The media also does everything it can do subvert attention away from zionist atrocities.

    We still see the media "deliberating" on whether the first hospital bombing in Gaza was a "hamas rocket" or a deliberate attack on civilian infrastructure by the illegitimate state, even after every other hospital was bombed by them. Meanwhile, after the Minab school bombing by the US, the media quickly, within a day, came to the consensus that it was America that conducted the attack.

    America's media apparatus, financial institutions, and academia all give preferential treatment to jewish zionists over white americans, yet nobody wants to point it out over fear of being called an antisemite.

    With that being said, it does make me have so much more respect for my anti-zionist jewish comrades, throwing away all the possible benefits they could have received for what is right.

    I would disagree on the "not just Whites" part.

    A Mizrahi or Sephardi or Beta Israeli or what have you could theoretically get all the same treatments but once they arrive in Israel itself they're still subjected to the racial hierarchy with Ashkenazim at the top and every other Jew occupying different positions of the lower rungs - and naturally the Black Jews of Ethiopia are at the very bottom.

    And some Jews just can't get in at all, frankly. I remember watching a video from a Ugandan Jew talking about how his community was denied the Right of Return whereas a smaller, newer, whiter group of more recent Jewish converts from South Africa got accepted right away. He ended the video with a simple "I wonder why." that just stuck with me.

    Much as the German Nazis put themselves above other "Aryans" the Ashkenazi Zionists put themselves above other Jews.
