Yes. There are anti-Zionist movements within Judaism. There are also Jews who believe in a secular state of Israel.
Zerosum0 is incorrect. Jews in the United States tend to have an unquestioned support of Zionism (witness the opprobrium heaped upon President Carter for his latest book). Anti-Zionist movements are strongest within Israel.

Zionism is a political movement, not a religious movement. Most of the Zionists were secular Jews -- some Ultra-orthodox Jews oppose Zionism to this day.

All the jewish are Zionist, just that some say that is not time yet to go to the state of israel, until the messiah comes.
So, yes, there are some jews that doesnt support the current state of Israel.

In generally, Judaism and Zionism are completely separate groups. Being Jewish in no way means you are a Zionist.

Well, if they really wanted to support Israel and their Zionism...they would be there fighting for them. And considering more Jews live in the USA than any other country in the world....i would say there are quite a few.

There have been many no-Zionist Jews in history. One of them was a great philosopher named Martin Buber, Hanna Arendt too and many others famous and not.

no disrespect but if israel had not proclaimed itself a separate nation (protected by us and brits) in the middle of all those muslims back in the late 40's after ww2, things would be much better for most americans and brits. it was a bad decision according to many learned scholars. but i dunno. maybe it was a good thing? god knows. one thing is for sure, it is costing billions a month now and a lot of people are dying over there in the middle east conflict. israel, say the muslims, is what keeps the flame burning. i dunno. god knows.
