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.

    I dont know why anyone cares much what they think.

    Jews are currently attacked all around the world, for the actions of the Netanyahu regime, which has barely anything to do with them (unless they support it).
    It’s important to shout from the rooftops that simply being a Jew doesn’t make you complicit.
    And this article shows that.

      oh no, “attacked”? How many actual casualties dead and wounded are we talking about here?

      People are entitled to their political opinions whether you like them or not.

      Tell me, do you support the existence of the state of Israel? And do not engage in dodging hyperbole and conflate the states existence with the Israelis lives-- we’re not talking about killing people we are talking about the state and its basic laws/constitution. Israelis can be governed peacefully by another state, they just dont want to be.

      Of those Jewish people “attacked” (you mean verbal attacks-- people simply disagree with them and so they screamed that they are being “attacked”, like you just did) around the world, the vast vast vast vast vast majority of them support the existence of the state of israel, which has always been since before day 1, genocidal and ethnic cleansing. 80 solid years of it, whereas before that the Ottoman empire ruled the area with Jews and muslims in peace side by side for something like 800 years. There is no past or future concept of a non-genocidal non-expansionist israel, and its been a shitshow since it started. To support the existence of israel is to support continued genocide, brutality, and war crimes-- and yet, global jewery overwhelmingly supports it.

      They dont get to kick everyone out just because their holy book claims that land is all theirs. Its not theirs.

      so again, tell us who you are, if you have a moral backbone: do you support the existence of the existence of the state of Israel?
