Gaza War Strengthened American Jewry's Connection to Israel
(Ynet News) Yair Kraus - The head of the Diaspora Department at the World Zionist Organization, Nerya Meir, spoke at a Ynet conference about the transformation that took place in American Jewry following Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel. "I draw optimism from the issue of the attitude of U.S. Jewry toward Israel. They just got further and further away from the issue of Israel, and suddenly the war came and changed everything. Until the war, 45% of all U.S. Jews had some kind of concern for Israel, in the sense of caring. Data published by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations about two weeks ago already show 80% support for Israel."
