Maybe, perhaps, their affinity with Israel is simply the same affinity you have for Europe if you live in America?
I'm not in America, but you're right. It is much the same. It's also the reason I feel increasingly ill at ease the more multicultural my nation becomes.
There was a time that my affinity with European ancestry was in alignment with the nation I lived in. The country was built by European settlers and their culture was the basis for the nation that grew out of that foundation. Now an affinity for European culture is seen as white supremacy and advocating for the interests of my people is perceived as being at odds with the goals of the country I was born in. The country my father was born in, and his father before him, and his father before him.
An affinity for your ancestors is a good thing. It's bad for a nation that's no longer controlled by your ancestors, however. There's a reason my views are no longer seen as acceptable by the mainstream culture. Why then are the same Jewish sentiments so vehemently protected?
Because they have the same right to feel the same thing you feel when you think about the country your father was born, and on and on.
It is the exact same thing. No difference.
If you are in Canada, it is the same thing, if you are somewhere in Europe, but your ancestors hail form some other part of Europe. EXACT SAME THING.
The difference, maybe, is that one of those nations is in constant threat, not only from idiots who attacks it for anything(even blaming it for their own failing), but from the local powers. Plus, it is a country where it was created because a certain number of people got murdered in a certain genocide.
So maybe it is kinda bad when one makes a blind eye when an American says "I'm Irish!" when he is 4th gen American, and attacks a Jewish man who is second gen American who say "I like Israel".
How would you describe Irish influence over American government? American media? American entertainment, academia, finance?
This is why stupid people shouldn't make comparisons. You just end up proving your opponent's point.
Alright, what is this?

This is why stupid people shouldn't make comparisons. You just end up proving your opponent's point. And you didn't read what I wrote above.
You deftly avoided the question of why Jewish affinity is so vehemently defended by mainstream culture while European affinity is suppressed. It’ll only be the same when the mere suggestion that “it’s okay to be white” doesn’t get you labeled a hateful bigot, while the suggestion that it’s anything other than okay to be Jewish gets you labeled the same, a hateful bigot or an anti-Semite. The underlying ethnic affinities might be much the same, but the way they’re perceived by media and culture certainly isn’t.
If genocides are the deciding factor for you, why would I give undue weight to the Holocaust when the Bolshevik incited Holodomor took so many more Christian lives than the Holocaust took Jewish ones? 100 years together was more than enough.
And what fantasy land do you live in where every European nation isn’t under constant demographic threat, by design. It’s certainly a different threat than being surrounded by hostile Muslim nations, like Israel is. Instead, they’re being subsumed by hostile Muslim immigrants, then told it’s not a problem. Usually by Jews.
Please read:
And no, it is not. If that was the case, Americans who yell "I'm Irish" or "I'm Scottish" would be heavily attacked, or censored. Let me put it this way, do Americans celebrate St. Patrick's day? If yes, how?
It killed a lot of Jews too https://archive.is/cR7MM
And once again, grasping at straws. Why would Jews say it is not a problem? Because it is, since muslims get in, Jews suffer antisemitic attacks, and forces them to migrate to Israel. Why would they do that? Maybe you are using the same amount of people who are whites, Jews, blacks, et al, to support this nonsense because these are leftists (like national socialists, commies et al).
My ancestors came to America over 200 years ago. I've met and interacted with natives who still live in my ancestral homeland: their ways are not my ways, I have little in common with them, and they wouldn't mistake me for being one of them.
I have far more affinity for the area of America my family settled and still mostly lives in than a country my family hasn't lived in for centuries. But even then I want what's best for the part of America I live in and prioritize that far above parts of America I don't live in, even if much of my extended family still does.
I don't understand what's so hard to understand about that: you support your community over others because you live there. If you support other communities over your own, maybe you should be living in those other communities.
First and foremost you need to differentiate thingsbhere, as supporting Israel has become polarized. Same way as supporting South Korea over North Korea, or Japan vs China. Even more polarized than supporting Ukraine over Russia. So you will find an overwhelming amount of people, Jews or not supporting Israel, and the other overwhelming amount of people supporting its destruction.
But, if you still feel afinity(if you don't, you are an exception) to the country of origin of your family even a little, you have no place to dictate Jewish support for Israel. And you have no place to even criticize Israeli support if you even rooted for any Nato country in any intervention. Or if you even rooted or showed support for Catholics or protestants in Ireland, enjoyed st. Patrick's day, Cinco de Mayo, or even rooted for any other country, allied or not to America for whatever reason.
Whatever affinity I may feel towards my ancestral homeland stops far short of my wanting American resources being allocated to supporting it. Or prioritizing its well-being at the expense of America's well-being. They have their own government; let them allocate resources toward funding the policies they want and advocate for their interests. My government should be allocating resources toward my people and advocating my peoples' interests. That's what I pay them to do.
Right, so now it went from "support" to financial aid. I wonder where it will go next from here...
US sends aid for a myriad of nations. Perhaps a continuation of WWII policies and the rebuilding of Europe and Japan. But either way America only sends aid to Israel for the sake reason it sent to Europe to stop communism in the fold war. Albeit in this case it is far less, and with more strings attached. As in, Israel can only spend it on American products. Otherwise it is cut.
In your logic perhaps America shouldn't have helped Europe rebuild, deal with the famine in Germany with their air bridges nor helped stop communism.
