    Israel is about 47% Jewish as of a recent poll, and that is about 41% of the global Jewish population.

    So roughly 19% …

    Explain the math please. I understand that 47% times 41% is roughly 19% - but why did you multiply these numbers?

      That should be roughly the percent of Jews worldwide who support it. I don’t have data outside of Israel so that number will be higher than 19% but it’s a vague lower limit.

      Unless my math brain is failing me.

        But your first paragraph presents no data about the support for Israel’s actions. The two numbers you wrote there are:

        • The percentage of Jewish people in Israel (which, BTW - seems awfully low - so maybe you’ve mislabeled the number?)
        • The percentage of Israeli among the global Jewish population.
