Israel is a regional superpower, strategically, militarily, economically, scientifically, technologically, educationally – and is so with a tiny population.

ISRAELI JEWISH POPULATION
As I posted earlier: There are only about 7.1M jews in israel and only half of them were born there.

COMPOSITION
Among Israeli Jews over the age of 20, about 45% identified as secular or not religious, while 33% said they practiced “traditional” religious worship. Ultra-Orthodox Jews, known as Haredim in Hebrew, made up 10%.
Why? Ultra Orthodox are dead weight on the state, traditional, and secular people.

US JEWISH POPULATION
5.8M adults (2.4% of all U.S. adults) as Jewish.
… 4.2M identify as Jewish by religion (1.7%)
… 1.5M of no religion (0.6%)
2.8M (1.1% of U.S. adults) have a Jewish background. These adults all had at least one Jewish parent or a Jewish upbringing.
9.6M total fully or partly ethnic newish people.

WORLD JEWISH POPULATION
—“As of 2023, the world’s “core” Jewish population (those identifying as Jews above all else) was estimated at 16.1 million.
80% of the jewish population is either in America (51%) and Israel (30%) and the rest are low single digits, mostly in europe.
This number rises to 18 million with the addition of the “connected” Jewish population, including those who say they are partly Jewish or that have Jewish backgrounds from at least one Jewish parent.
And rises again to 21 million with the addition of the “enlarged” Jewish population, including those who say they have Jewish backgrounds but no Jewish parents and all non-Jewish household members who live with Jews. Counting all those who are eligible for Israeli citizenship under Israel’s Law of Return, in addition to Israeli Jews, raised the total to 23.8 million”—
