You were the one repeatedly saying all jews have some sort of magic connection to Israel. If I misread and you meant Israelis have a connection to that land, that still begs the question. Not everyone purportedly "Israeli" made the transition there and the question still remains valid, more concretely to people with dual citizenships.

Israeli culture is roughly jewish + middle-eastern culture. American jews have jewish + american culture. American jews would find they read the exact same prayers as israeli jews, can immediately feel comfortable in synagoge; relate to israeli jews in terms of values and religion, but would be shocked by, e.g., the middle-eastern-style haggling in israel markets, the directness of israelis, etc. The judaism is the overlap, otherwise very different.

Yes without doubt, obviously a person from NY would have a different culture than a person from Haifa or whatever. I think I misread you on that.
