So many? The vast majority of Jews affiliate with either the “Reform”, “Conservative”, or “Orthodox” denominations (Pew Research). These main denominations are represented by the “Union for Reform Judaism”, the “United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism”, and the “Orthodox Union”. These institutions and many other mainstream Jewish institutions have all signed onto a statement expressing opposition against BDS. A 2018 opinion poll of the Jewish community found that 59% of Jewish Americans support a two-state solution and 68% believe that Israel can both be a Jewish state and a democracy; these are opinions that are directly at odds with BDS.

There is only one Jewish organization that I can think of which promotes BDS, namely “Jewish Voice for Peace”. Even other anti-Israel organizations don’t go so far (e.g. “If Not Now” does not take an official stance in support of BDS”). Both of those groups represent a rather small fringe. However, because it is politically convenient for those who do endorse BDS and hateful views against the Jewish community to use such groups as token Jews in order to whitewash statements that are perceived as anti-Semitic by the vast majority of Jews, these fringe Jews often have their voices amplified over the mainstream. It is also worth noting that some of these token Jews are also questionably Jewish; although some of the members of these organizations may sincerely consider themselves to be Jewish, a number of these individuals do not fit the traditional halakhic (Jewish religious law) definition of who is Jewish.

The left-wing Jewish position on Israel is much more well reflected and represented by J Street, which supports a two-state solution and opposes BDS.
