So did the Germans, AFTER the war ended.

almost the whole time.

If you were polling self identified Christians about their Xmas traditions and close to 30% said Jesus Christ wasn't very important to them I not sure the survey would yield meaningful info.

possibly too fast, but did not see that particular question.

Thanks!

If you are not a religious Jew your opinions dont count ......

I’m a Christian and my religion is very important to me. When I hear, or read, that someone is Jewish, I naturally assume they are religious Jews.

I know religious Jews born outside of Israel often feel a strong tie to Israel. Generally speaking, how common is that feeling among secular Jews?

I assume the Holocaust would cause non Israeli, secular Jews to feel a special tie to Israel. Is that true? Is it common for secular Jews to feel a special tie to Israel? Or is it more like most of us feel toward the countries from which our ancestors came? The connection is there, but not something we think about much. Since Israel has only existed in its current state since 1948, do secular Jews whose parents were also secular feel differently about Israel?

I also assume that tie to Israel would lessen with each generation without the religious connection. If you are non Israeli and non religious, do you think of yourself as Jewish or only of Jewish ancestry. For example, my ancestors came largely from the UK several centuries ago. I don’t think of my ancestral connection when reading about issues in the U.K.

Being neither Israeli nor Palestinian, I will add that I mean no disrespect with my comments. I apologize in advance if my comments are in any way offensive.

Today is the last day of a very long holiday period and the first day I havent
been out protesting against our government or taking care of grandchildren so
that their parents could .

Im sorry I cant answer any of your questions , you are asking the wrong person .
Not only am I secular I am also an atheist.
I have never lived outside of Israel and Im 75 , second generation Sabra .

You need to ask someone from the Diaspora.
