Judaism and American Jews have deep sympathies to Israel, and this manifests in material structures in the United States (synagogues, community orgs, PACs, etc)
This is exactly why he got in trouble, because he couldn’t just put the word “most” or “many” in there, and tried to paint all Jewish folks as genocide-supporters, and then doubled down, didn’t seem to understand how the study he cited could be flawed (sure, let anyone self-identify as Jewish and answer hot-button questions in a country where the Christian majority actually are the ones who are insanely Zionist)
Nobody seems content with critically thinking - “who would someone behave in this manner?” is a question you should ask yourself, and “they want to slander Jewish people” is in the range of possible answers. I’m glad to hear that this behavior isn’t typical of the user in question. The mods probably should have warned and muted them on that particular instance, and maybe educated them about refraining from believing and spreading this type of rhetoric on Lemmy. Maybe they wouldn’t be on a reactionary streak and doubling down on their positions if they’d been given a chance to save face…

He specifically said 80-90%, he also called them Zionists not genocide supporters which has a broader definition, anywhere from supporting Israeli state in Palestine to believing Jewish people should have some kind of sovereignty.

You and the mod are distorting this persons comment from what he said with this manor of thinking. Then you want to block the discussion from even happening that can disqualify it. Just let him get either downvoted to hell or dunked on in the comments. I dont see the point of the intense censorship on behalf of these ten fifty whatever percent of american jews that will be slighted that their religion has been conflated with zionism when there is literally a star of david on the f35 bombing children in now lebanon.
