What percentage of American Jewish people are Zionists ?

What you are asking is basically knowing what is the amount of Jews that support Israel as the only democratic country in the Middle East.

Israel, which is the closest ally the US has in the Middle East, enjoys vast support throughout the American public, regardless of them being Jewish or not.

You are actually looking to see what part of Jews support Jews in another country then?

I don't know exact percentages, but I'm a 56 year old Jew who is also an American and I've personally never met a Jew who did not believe that the Jews deserve the same basic human right afforded under the Declaration of Human Rights.

A very tiny but vocal group of fundamentalist Orthodox Jews who LIVE IN ISRAEL and don't wish to live anywhere else, other than their homeland, in peace, but ally their voices with those who want to eliminate Israel as a State This fringe element called Neturei Karta, numbering ONLY in the few thousands out of 14 million Jews in the world, are actually Zionists *only* in the fundamentalist religious sense! They are extreme fundamentalists who are against the notion of a SECULAR and democratic state. They are considered extremists by the vast majority of the world's Jews http://www.adl.org/extremism/karta/ They believe that Israel should not exist as a Jewish country until the Davidic Messiah brings it about and Israel is ruled under a theocracy whose laws are the laws of Judaism. They believe that it is God through the Davidic Messiah who should only bring about the rule of Jews in Israel and that any human attempts to establish Jewish sovereignty over the homeland they LIVE IN are against God's will. Those who claim, "Not all Jews are Zionist" purposely omit that very important distinction.

Millions of non-Jews around the world recognize the basic human right of the Jewish people to have established through legitimate means, Democratic autonomy, and their right to live in peace alongside their neighbors. The Jews who are against political Zionism and their relevance to negate the basic human right of the Jews as a people to live in self-determination in their homeland in a democratic State(acknowledged by the Declaration of Human Rights) is impotent and moot. This vocal fringe element does not represent the Jewish people or Israel as a whole any more than members of the Westboro Baptist church represent American Christian consensus. There is a far higher percentage of U.S. citizens who are Scientologists who believe we’re all descended from aliens called Thetans than there are Jews in the world who believe Israel should not exist in peaceful co-existence with her neighbors as a democratic country.

BECAUSE of Zionism ..that the Muslim citizens of Israel have freedoms guaranteed by LAW that they do not in many of their own Islamic theoretically ruled countries. If you're not of the "Right" sect of Islam depending on what Muslim country, you could find yourself the victim of persecution from the other. But in Israel, every citizen, Jew, Christian, Muslim, Druze, Baha'i, you name it..has LAWS protecting your religious freedom and your holy places and your right to worship in peace therein.

Zionism means the desire for the Jewish people to live in their homeland in peace. It is a belief expressed in every Jewish prayer book. The *political* movement of Zionism promotes the existence of the Democratic nation State of Israel to exist as a secular democracy
