The American Jewish community is experiencing an internal struggle. The majority of American Jews view supporting Israel as essential to their Jewish identity. Many American Jews, however, critique the Israeli occupation in Palestine. Some support Israel while critiquing the occupation specifically while others denounce Israel in its entirety because of the occupation. These critical American Jews, regardless of their stance along this spectrum, refuse to accept injustices occurring in the name of their own identity. Some scholars argue that those who critique the Israeli occupation are rejecting Orientalism and Israeli exceptionalism. These two theoretical concepts devalue the existence and humanity of the Palestinian people. This study will be quantitatively analyzing the unique experience of critiquing the Israeli occupation as an American Jew. Using survey data from a radically left-wing Palestinian solidarity organization, 501 American members will be analyzed on their unique experiences of straying from the dominant American Jewish support for Israel in its entirety. Findings show that Jews and non-Jews experience similar journeys along the spectrum of critique. This is determined based on whether the respondent experienced a turning point and if they were less critical of Israel before joining the organization or not. This study also reviewed some of the reasons respondents reported for their shift in their views on Israel/Palestine, determining some similarities and some differences between Jews and non-Jews. This study, therefore, reviews the far left's experiences of critiquing the Israeli occupation, ultimately determining that Jewish identity plays little role for this population's experiences of critiquing Israel/Palestine.
