He's both. He's a clearly a contractee through Hasbara. They advertise on tiktok, and pay randos to open zionist troll accounts for around minimum wage. As an American Jew, these chumps don't represent me, or anyone other than the Israelis. At this point, most American Jews are either very cold towards Israel, or are outright anti-zionists. We even have a subreddit : r/JewsOfConscience.

As a fellow American Jew that is just plain false, don’t claim to to be misrepresented and then immediately misrepresent us yourself

Here's the data. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/05/21/u-s-jews-have-widely-differing-views-on-israel/

Essentially it boils down to only Jews in the Orthodox and Conservative movements supporting Israel en masse. When teens are factored in, American Jews who are don't see Israel as critical to their view of Jewishness could be as high as 80%, I've personally never met a zionist who wasn't either an Israeli, a Christian, or a Jew over the age of 40.

>Caring about Israel is “essential” to what being Jewish means to 45% of U.S. Jewish adults, and an additional 37% say it is “important, but not essential,”

How on earth do you reconcile this with your assertion that “most American Jews are either very cold towards Israel, or are outright anti-zionists”? So called “Jews of conscience” (which is an insufferably sanctimonious term in the first place) are a clear minority whose prevalence you are vastly overstating
