“Growing number of Americans now viewing Israelis as an extension of their own family”

October 27, 2026/3 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Recall from my review of Clifton & Lustick’s Israel’s Lobby:

They are keen to absolve the American Jewish community of complicity in Israel’s behavior, including the recent genocide in Gaza (and yes, they use the word ‘genocide’ to describe Israel’s destruction of Gaza). They note that support for Israel ranked only ninth out of 11 issues for Jews in the 2024 election, citing a poll by the Jewish Democratic Council of America which describes itself as “the political voice of Jewish Democrats. JDCA advocates for Jewish values and priorities within the Democratic Party and for the Democratic Party within the Jewish community.” It is thus clearly an activist organization at a time when Jewish support for Israel and American wars on behalf of Israel have become controversial. They ignore the poll’s finding in the same sentence that “American Jews feel emotionally attached to Israel (75 percent).”

The survey described below further supports the strong link between American and Israeli Jews. It doesn’t get any closer than seeing people living in a foreign country as “an extension of their own family.”

Jewish Federations survey finds deepening ties between U.S., Israeli Jewish communities

The bond between American and Israeli Jews has strengthened significantly over the past five years, with a growing number of Americans now viewing Israelis as an extension of their own family, according to a recently commissioned survey by the Jewish Federations of North America, reports Jewish Insider’s Haley Cohen for eJewishPhilanthropy.

Family affair: The survey found that 62% of American Jews now view Israeli Jews as extended family or part of their community, up from 46% in an American Jewish Committee survey in 2021. Among Israeli Jews, 53% now view American Jews as extended family or part of their community, up from 45% in 2021. While American and Israeli Jews share a strong sense of identity, they differ on how much obligation comes with it. While 78% of Israeli Jews agreed that Jews around the world share a common fate and must act accordingly, 56% of American Jews said the same.

    “Let America Be America Again,” by the great American poet Langston Hughes, quoted by his devoted disciple Willie Jennings, in the service of the renowned Beinecke Library (if only Beinecke himself had even suspected “something like that”).

    Yes, the dream has burst like a soap bubble—or rather, a bubblegum bubble (invented by the “German-American” Walter Diemer). The dream is over; it was bound to happen—it should have been clear from the very beginning, just like with the current “multicultural Europe” project, which is modeled after the American one. That can only lead to a dead end, and in the end it will cause bad blood because it goes against nature itself.

    “Da Jews … look pretty huwhite to me!” An unbeatable argument that convinces all of us every time—even if it doesn’t convince the Jews themselves—but that doesn’t matter to hypocrites like Taylor. “Californians,” on the other hand, don’t look white to me.

    Since the world-famous Hispano-Canadian and unwavering Zelenskyy lobbyist Brandon Martinez is currently unavailable to me, and besides, as a die-hard Mises-style capitalist, he demands at least 8,000 pesos (the Spanish peseta was abolished with the introduction of the “fake” currency “euro”), I, too, am reliant on YouTube’s automatic translation feature here.

    We are unmistakably dealing with an “American” megastar
    here—as evidenced by the fact alone that her genius is con-
    vinced she has “Russian roots” despite her German name.

    To achieve their “Greater Israel Project” (i.e. To steal the land, resources and trade routes from the Nile to Pakistan) leaders in the Likud Party, will gladly deplace the nearly 300 million of Muslims in the Gulf States and ship them to the West as others have suggested…

    “Arab migration has been the best thing that’s happened to Europe in the past 50 years. Their children and grandchildren will marry into veteran European families and change the demographics of their countries, Europe will be different” – Yigal Ben-Nun, Israeli Writer, Haaretz

    “Jews should rejoice at the fact that Christian Europe is losing its identity as a punishment for what it did to us for the hundreds of years, we were in exile there,” the – Rabbi Baruch Erfrati, Yeshiva Head & West Bank Settler

    See “WATCH: Israel is ‘Jewish territory,’ gov’t must send Gazans to France per Trump plan, Ben-Gvir says”

    Someone has something on Trump, so let’s house them in Trump’s Hotels and resorts in Europe

    ANY EUROPEAN WHITE MAN who produces weapons for them, fights on behalf of Israel or supports criminally insane bible-bemused / corrupt politcians in the West who kneel to them for money and favorable media coverage, fully deserves what evil awaits them. Pardon my language, but I only hope I’m around long enough to piss on their graves
