“These investigations indicate⟳ that although a large proportion of American Jews call⟳ themselves Zionists, their meanings of Zionism are closer to what some investigators have⟳ called pro-Israelism. According to the still common Israeli definition of a Zionist as one who views the Diaspora negatively and considers the settlement of Jews in Israel as essential, the vast majority of American Jews would not be considered Zionists.”
