30% of Americans believe that American Jews are more loyal to Israel than to the US. Articles like this one show why theres lack of trust regarding American Jews loyalties: Dual Loyalty: Imaginary scenario: Israel and the United States are at war. Who should American Jews support?...

Suppose vital American and Israeli interests were to clash. What would it mean for a Jew to say: ”I don’t give a damn what’s best for Israel. All that matters to me is what’s best for America”? What kind of Jew would that be? How deep could his or her Jewishness be said to go? It’s a convenient myth to tell oneself that what’s good for Israel will always be good for America and vice versa, but a myth is all it is. forward/articles/186631/why-american-jews-shouldnt-be-afraid-to-put-israel/
