COMMON MYTHS VS FACTS #9

The vast majority of Jews believe that the State of Israel should continue to exist. But many Jews, both living in Israel and elsewhere, are in favor of a Palestinian state alongside Israel as a possible solution to the conflict.

According to the Encyclopedia of Judaism, as of 1999, the vast minority of Jewish extremists of anti-Zionism ideology is estimated to be 20,000 in Israel (0.004%) and tens of thousands in the United States and in Europe (0.0025%). With the annual growth rate of 2% in Israel, current statistics would conclude 0.0016% anti-Zionist Jews in Israel, and 0.001% in the United States and Europe. 

Arabs and Palestinian-Arabs living in and around Israel typically oppose Zionism.

While the Zionist movement continues to face criticism and challenges, there’s no denying that Zionism has successfully bolstered the Jewish population in Israel.
