Gallup: 95% of Jews have favorable views of Israel.
If your Twitter bubble consists mostly of "anti-Zionist" or "anti-Israel" Jews, it's just that: a bubble. If you want to understand the Jewish community's views, consider diversifying who you listen to.

Dissent has a noble place in the Jewish tradition, right back through the Talmud. Proud Jews can be Zionist, anti-Zionist, or neither. But anyone who isn't Jewish who cherrypicks only fringe Jewish voices to listen to isn't interested in engaging with Jews, but rather using them.
It should go without saying: Many of the 95% of Jews who support Israel also have criticism of its policies and government (see polling here: mellmangroup.com/wp-content/upl…). Those two aren't mutually exclusive and never have been. People who care criticize because they care.
I make this point because I notice that a lot of people on Twitter confuse what they see here for real life, and then get confused when the real world doesn't conform to their feed. It's important to seek out the full voice of any minority community, and engage with it honestly.
