Nearly two-thirds, or 63%, of poll respondents agreed that concerns about Iran’s nuclear program were best solved through diplomacy and sanctions; only 37% agreed they were best addressed with military action. Meanwhile, 58% of respondents agreed that U.S. military action against Iran weakens the U.S., rather than strengthening it.
As members of J Street’s leadership point out, the findings indicate that most Jewish Americans want peace.
“This data is a wake-up call for anyone claiming to speak for the American Jewish community while beating the drums of war,” J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami said.
Notably, the poll also showed broad support among American Jews for conditioning aid to Israel, with 44% saying that weapons sales must comply with U.S. law and 26% saying the U.S. should cut off aid entirely.
Jewish Americans are only around 2% of the total voters. Thats split between republican and democrats, so like 1% each? I dont know why anyone cares much what they think. I think we’ve agonized over this tiny religious groups’s political opinions much more than we should have already. The youth vote is huge. Maybe dems would win more often if they started caring more about that instead.
