If the pro-Pally side talks to everyone except the Jews, and the pro-Israel side talks only to Jews, then we will lose the public opinion battle.
There's maybe six or seven million Jews in the US as opposed to 300 million total population. There's perhaps as many as three million other Jews outside of the US and Israel against a total world population around 7 billion.
If you figure that half of the Jews outside Israel are in some way at odds with Israel, especially as regards Yesha, you must ask yourself: 'why the hell are we even talking to them?'
They have already mis-informed themselves, and we've lost that battle.
This is no exaggeration, by the way - the opponents of Israel count a huge number of Jews among their number. Many pro-Pally Jews are convinced anti-Semites, and utterly in a state of denial. If one is surrounded by Gentiles, praeconceptions and biases seep in without even being noticed.
And you cannot logically expect well-integrated, educated, humanistically inclined, liberal Jews to willingly hang around either the Christian fundament or the Jewish rigid (both of those being where one would least expect anti-Israel tendencies).
In very blunt terms: It is better to talk to an ignorant goy about Israel than a Jew who is wrong. The blank slate is a far better bet than a garbage-dump filled with inaccuracies.

boo. I bit my thumb at your logic.
Why NOT talk to Jew you think are "wrong"? Are you worried you can't persuade them, or that they will challenge your own beliefs?
If you CAN persuade them of your point, you will have one more jew to go talk to other Jews and Goyim.
