Poll: Most Americans Oppose Obama, Support Israel

[Purveyor]

ZOA poll reveals that most Americans - even those outside Jewish communities - oppose Washington's anti-Israel policies.

By Tova Dvorin

The White House's recent policies against Israel do not reflect the will of the American people, according to a recent poll.

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) released the results of a nationwide survey this month revealing that the vast majority of Americans support Israel on nearly every major issue addressed in peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA).

The survey recorded the responses of over 1000 American citizens from various populations - not just the Jewish community - and was conducted by McLaughlin Associates, a well-known polling organization.

Among those polled in the representative sample, 46% of respondents were Protestant, 30% were Catholic, and 3.6% were Jewish; by ethnicity, 13% were African Americans, 12% were Hispanics, 3% were Asian, and 70% were Caucasian, according to the organization. The religious and ethnic breakdown reflects the American population as a whole.

The survey also attempted to cover the political spectrum; 42% of respondents identified themselves as Republican, and 41% as Democrats.

1. ...And?

Sadly this could have been interesting... except for how severely malinformed (as opposed to misinformed) the American public is on the subject. we have elected officials who are outraged about "Middle eastern-looking men" not getting frisked at the airport, and we're supposed ot take an American opinion poll onthe subject of Israel / Palestine seriously.

2. What BS-- "Anti-Israel" policies from whom? Such BS

I think AIPAC and the Israeli Likudists better take a big step back... they have been overreaching for some time and it will come back to bite them. Even most American Jews (and Israeli Jews, for that matter) are not at all as extreme as some of their positions.

Most people I know are getting irritated with Netanyahu and the Occupation. Maybe I need to branch out of my comfort zone. And nobody I know wants to go to war with Iran.
