Although the American population in Israel may be small, the Jewish population in the States is quite large and quite vocal.....

really?

5 million jews in USA out of 300,000,000 population.

please define "quite large"
;-))

lol... damn serge....

OK...not large as a percentage of the U.S. population.. But as a percentage of the world "Jewish" population... (and I am probably wrong on this too...you will probably come back with Jewish total population versus US...)

The American Jewish population (you put at 5 million) is roughly the same as the entire Population of Israel, of which 80% or more (approx) is Jewish

(best numbers I can find on Israeli population are dated 1993...I admit I havent looked long and hard)

Ok....

Now, then Serge.... What is the reason that the U.S., while they supported Israel early on, (on paper) but did not "really" actively support Israel early on.....now seems more ready to support Israel?

(your opinion of course)

Thanx in advance
