BM, you are also right to say 38-45% of the Jewish world live in the United States
has a pretty big impact on decisions about Israel. This is so even though the percentage
in the U.S. is small.
The Jewish population of the United States is estimated at between 5.5 and 6 million.
The Jewish population of Israel is estimated at about 5.4 million.
In Israel, over 80 percent of the population are Jews.
In the United States, about 2.2 percent are Jews.
This all fits into the equation somewhere.
