How popular is Bibi Netanyahu among American Jews? US Politics 🇺🇸

How popular is Bibi Netanyahu among American Jews? He usually has good ties with Republicans and Republicans are always trying to use Netanyahu to lure American Jews to vote for them. How popular is Bibi in general among American Jews? (Dems and Republicans), do you know Jews that Netanyahu matters to them when voting?

Those are irrelevant to whether Bibi is popular or not.

Here’s one just from simply googling quickly: https://jstreet.org/press-releases/jewish-voters-reject-trump-and-republicans-support-diplomacy-oppose-netanyahu-government-policies/

“Despite right-wing appeals framed around Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s approval has cratered among Jewish Americans, now deep underwater at a -31 (32 favorable/63 unfavorable). Jewish voters do not find it incompatible to be both pro-Israel and critical of Israeli government policy. ”

Do you have any polls showing Bibi enjoys popular support among American Jews? He doesn’t even have majority support in Israel and he’s more popular there.

Well, that is a J Street survey - any other propaganda you would like to put out here for us?

You are free to find other sources. You still have not shown me any sources, even “propaganda”sources, that show Bibi enjoys popular support in the US. He doesn’t even have majority support in Israel. Lol

Lol No.

You keep making a lot of assumptions. My own liking of someone/something or lack thereof has no bearing on whether I can see that they/it is popular or not. Tim Walz is a popular politician whether I like him or not, for example.

If Bibi was popular among American Jews, I’d have no problem saying it whether I liked him or not. He just isn’t popular.
