According to this article, a very large portion of American Jews do not support the Israeli government

I'm posting this article because it shatters the myth that every Jewish person blindly supports the actions of the Israeli government.

I sure wish they would do something...

Some ARE doing something!

This is so true.

Folks should realize the difference between a Zionist and an Orthodox. Greedy Khazar's are not the folks referred to in the religious texts as those from the tribe of Judah.

You'l never see

An article like this in any of our newspapers. That is because Israel is vital to the Military Industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about.

Against Occupation: Voices within Israel and the Diaspora

** Here is a good article about Israeli's against occupation which has links to almost 2 dozen Israeli's against occupation groups.

People need to realize that the Israeli's like Americans have thier extreme "neo-con" factions in politics and we are all trying to stop the warmongering. It is very difficult for the American and Israeli Jews to express dissent it is of course, widely blacked out in the media.I have tried to stress this before because too often any critcism of Israel's policies is met with the predictable (and frankly ignorant, offensive) labels of "jew hater, antisemite, racist, bigot etc.."
IMO, being aware and speaking up about this is being Pro-Israel! Please read the articles linked below:

Against Occupation: Voices within Israel and the Diaspora

Dozens of demonstrations against Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have occurred throughout Israel since the attacks began on 27 December. On 3 January, over 10,000 Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv against the attacks.

This is a reminder of the grave mistake it is to confuse state with people, Zionism with Jews, to think of Israel as a unitary, homogeneous entity without significant internal dissent and fragmentation. Needless to say, at this very moment Israel appears to be dominated by a shrill right wing that appears hell bent on genocide if not outright annihilation, fed by and reinforcing a pronounced tilt towards the right among voters. As the danger of another acute crisis draws closer, with wider regional implications, these organizations deserve as much support as possible, moral and otherwise.

here is another:

Jews Against the Occupation~
We are standing up for justice," said Niuta Teitelboim, one of the JATO/NYC activists, "which is a Jewish tradition that many Jewish organizations seem to have abandoned. Too many vocally endorsed a war which involved a string of Israeli war crimes: the mass killings of children and families at UN schools designated as places of refuge; the targeting with bombs and artillery fire of hospitals and ambulances; and most recently the destruction of food and medical aid supplies in a UN facility."

"The occupation is being paid for with U.S. taxpayers' money. Israel could not maintain one of the world's largest militaries without a constant flow of cash from the U.S. treasury," elaborated Chloe Tribich, another JATO/NYC member involved in the action. " Even if foreclosures and unemployment weren't decimating our neighborhoods, surely there are better uses for $3 billion a year than helping the Israeli government commit war crimes."

Brave Israeli High School Students~
We, male and female Jews and Arabs from all across the country whose signatures are below, declare that we will take action against the Israeli government's policy of occupation and oppression in the conquered territories and in Israel, and therefore refuse to take part in those actions, which are done in our names by the Israel Defense Forces," read the letter.

Its not a myth

But even if they dont support it....they dont want others to find out the ones that dont or make that obvious...because its a herd mentality.
They may debate it among themselves...but none will ever come out and support contrary to israelli policies...and that is the truth.
All my interactions with them were to attack or join RP meetups to misled or act as agent provocatures. I am sure there are high profile ones that support RP...like Tom Woods etc....but at the ground level..its a "Whole Foods" story. As a matter of fact ...many of the people protesting John Macky were of the same....and big time Obama supporters...must be they hate America.

The people who control Israel

probably have about as much to do with Biblical Israel as the people who control the United States have to do with the free, ethical American. Integrity has gone out the window for me-first. I personally need to meet more Jewish people who won't lie to have things go their way. A hand shake you can count on is how I was raised. Honesty is above life itself. Where is that value now? A man's word is his bond. But we can't believe a single word that comes from Obama's mouth. Most of his words don't have any true concrete meaning. Sometimes he tells us we are going socialistic one way or another and it is so preposterous we don't think that is what he means. But it is. God chose the Jews. Surely there are some who are honest???? I haven't met one, but they must be out there.

Your first line was accurate.

Your last comment, "God chose the jews" was inaccurate.

God chose the ancient Israelites.
If you think that "modern/recent jews" and "ancient Israelites" are the same people, or even related in any way, you need to do some studying.

No, I misspoke

You are exactly right. God chose Israelites. I have studied and totally agree.
