- In Israel (not globally): Jewish Population (approx. 73.6% - 74%):This group includes a wide spectrum from secular (hiloni, 33%) to traditionalists (masorti, 24%), religious (dati, 9%), and ultra-Orthodox (haredi, 7%). Most, but not all, Israeli Jews identify as Zionists, believing in the right of existence of a Jewish state.
- Christian Population (approx. 1.9%):About 185,000 citizens, with approximately 75-80% being Arab Christians.
- Religious Zionism: While constituting only about 10% of the population, this group is highly influential, representing a larger share (approx. 40%) of combat soldiers in some reports.
- Muslims: 18%
- Druze: 1.6%
- Unclassified/Other: 4.8%

Estimates suggest there are between 20 to 50 million Christian Zionists in the United States, forming the largest pro-Israel lobby in the country. Primarily rooted in evangelical, "Bible Belt" communities, this movement dwarfs the size of the American Jewish population and is driven by theological support for the state of Israel.
Key details regarding Christian Zionists in the U.S. include:
- Population Estimates: While broad estimates range from 20 to 50 million, some sources suggest over 30 million people hold these views.
- Christians United for Israel (CUFI): As the primary Christian Zionist organization, CUFI claims over 11 million members, significantly larger than major Jewish pro-Israel lobbying groups.
- Influence: This movement has become the largest base of support for Israel in the U.S., with high-profile leaders maintaining close ties with Israeli political figures.
- Demographics: The majority are affiliated with evangelical churches in the southeastern and south-central United States.
- Comparison: The number of Christian Zionists in the U.S. is estimated to be roughly 30 times higher than the number of Jewish Zionists in the country.
And the majority of Zionists aren't Jews as I factually stated.….and…?

Ok. Anyway, UNRWA, etc…With his slick black ponytail and confident stride, Dor Shachar emanates a kind of Israeli Jewish cool in the lobby of a luxe Tel Aviv hotel. But Shachar was born Ayman Abu Soobuch, a Muslim from Khan Younis in Gaza, where he was taught to hate Jews.
Born in 1977, he grew up in the alleys and markets where Hamas and other terror factions were local fixtures, long before the January 2006 elections that vaulted the Islamist group into power 20 years ago.
He watched the movement’s rise from the inside; he says the ideology represented not just the gunmen in balaclavas, but the culture that elected them.
“Who chose Hamas? The majority chose Hamas,” he told the Post.
As a boy in Khan Younis, Shachar’s earliest lessons about Jews came from his own grandfather. The older man would invite Jewish visitors for coffee and bread, yet in a different breath urged his grandson to “free the land” one day, by killing Jews.
“I said to myself, ‘how can it be? On one side he invites them for food and drink, and on the other he says to kill them.’ From a young age I understood something is wrong.”
His neighbours included names that would later become synonymous with terror: Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and bombmaker Yahya Ayyash. “I knew them well,” he recalled, describing them as “community faces” alongside others from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah and the PLO. He knew that some neighbours — and his own brothers — had killed Israelis.
In the open market, he says he once saw Sinwar sever the head of a Palestinian accused of collaborating with Israel, amid cheering onlookers. Another time, he and his mother found a head in the market street. “They said he was suspected of cooperating with Israel,” he noted. Bystanders were nonchalant, as he remembers it.
He recalled children’s television shows that preached “‘go and kill the Jews.’” In mosques, he recalled sheikhs shouting that killing Jews was “the greatest commandment” and “Allah’s will.”
Schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) were little different: Jews were “pigs, dogs and infidels” who did not deserve to live, and children were told Israelis had one eye in the forehead, or three legs.
“But I knew the soldiers, and they’d given me candy sometimes. They don’t have one eye in the forehead — they aren’t like that. The Jews who came to the market in Khan Yunis to give us food aid didn’t have one eye in the forehead. The Jews who came to the weddings of our neighbours didn’t have three legs or an eye in the forehead.”
Inculcating violence was part of the curriculum. “Every child learned how to throw stones at Jews because they teach it. The teacher would tell us to go out and throw stones; then come back and open books as though we were studying. When the soldiers came, they saw little children studying. After the soldiers left, the teachers laughed — ‘these pigs, these dogs, these betrayers, these Jews, we will slaughter them like Hitler did.’”
Children’s plays, he recalled, featured classmates dressed as Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters, acting out the killing of Jews.

Dor Shachar, who watched Hamas rise from the inside, says they are reflective of the culture that elected them. ‘The majority chose Hamas’
As Israel’s army moved toward Rafah months later, and some residents protested against Hamas, he dismissed that as theatre: “The demonstration they did was to protect Yahya Sinwar so the army would not enter Rafah to kill him.”
He wants Westerners to understand that “Allahu Akbar” is not a cry of war, but to honour Islam. “The West doesn’t want to believe it’s a war of faith. People in the West are afraid, and they’re nice about it, because they are afraid, or they don’t want to accept reality.”
His proposed solution is stark: “The Israeli army must control” Gaza to prevent further losses of life.
Eventually, Ayman Abu Soobuch changed his name to a Jewish one, Dor (“generation”) Shachar (“dawn”), and has turned his story into a platform for warnings for Western governments, including Canada, where he last spoke in 2024.
In September 2025, the English edition of his memoir was released – From Gaza to Tel Aviv: The Unbelievable True Story of a Muslim Palestinian Who Escaped to Israel and Became a Jew – and he has since taken to lectures and social media, to argue, among many things, that importing large numbers of Gazans into Western countries would be disastrous.
“I will tell you what will happen in the West: the worst. Look what’s happening in Europe. It will happen in Canada and America,” he told the Post. “You’ll see chaos.”
He urges Canadians to speak out: “In Canada, you can cry out in the streets — and say to the prime minister, ‘they go, or you go!’” He views Ottawa’s recent recognition of a Palestinian state as a reward to Hamas, rather than a path to peace.
Shachar insists his message is not born of revenge, but of a mission to inform about global Jihad. “I walked in my truth in order to raise our children in shalom — in peace — to live,” he said.
Oh yeah, Zionists are bad too.

The events of Oct. 7, 2023, only reinforced his conviction that a poisonous ideology had overtaken Gaza – as he saw when civilians joined the rampage and celebrated in the street. No Gazan helped a single Jew, and hospitals were used as military outposts.
