At least 206 Jewish anti-Israel protesters were arrested Monday after hundreds rushed the New York Stock Exchange and staged a sit-in outside the Manhattan landmark, police said.

Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters wearing red shirts stormed toward the building on Broad Street in Lower Manhattan — then chained themselves to the doors just before the stock market’s opening bell at 9:30 a.m., footage shows.

A handful of demonstrators, who hail from the Jewish Voices for Peace group, could be seen removing their jackets as they set up shop outside the building — jackets they wore in a possible bid to conceal their anti-Israel attire and thwart any attempt to stop them ahead of time.

Source? That's definitely not true for the younger jews and I think there's more of us now

There source, apparently, is a poll taken of American Jews. And not a poll they understood very well:

Along with the fact that most Israeli Jews want the country in which they live to exist, which... duh.

But, you know, America is the only country with Jews outside of Israel.

In fact, are there any countries besides those two?

Don't underestimate the number of Jews in Israel that want a 0 state solution. There are anarchist Israelis. There are antizionist Israelis.

Oh I'm sure there are plenty of Israelis who want that.

But from all I can tell, based on better polling than the person above provided, the majority of Israelis could be described accurately as Zionists.

Their poll was about emotional attachment. You can be "emotionally attached to Israel" because it's where the Western Wall is. It doesn't mean you're a Zionist as OP suggests.
