Right, but having Israeli relatives (as a large portion of the American Jewish population does) doesn't make you an Israeli either, and it certainly doesn't make you a Zionist as the article above claims. How would you feel if someone labeled you an Imperialist or Fascist just because you're American?
Source?
Most American Jews moved here before the end of WW2, after the diaspora we lived all over Europe and elsewhere for centuries. Nearly half of all Jews live in America, and have for generations now - since before the state of Israel was created
We didn't come here from Israel, we don't have "family back home". I really doubt most of us have ties to Israel at all
Couldn't find any exact study, I guess it would depend on how you measure it, but everyone in this post says it's very common.

And yeah, very few Jewish people in America are from Israel but lots of people from the US moved there from after WW2.
