been around long enough to know you are very wrong and that if you don't know this poll is far from reality, you're in very sad shape. . .Anti Israel feelings are running rampant, and campus's around the country including Harved and all Ivy Leage schools.... You have to get out more..I can't imagine you living in NY and not being aware of it..they just had another incident at Columbia...that's in NY city, remember?.. You must live in Israel now ..as your lack of information is sadly showing.... I'm a native New Yorker.., born and City raised... TATA
33. # 30..And they've been here as long as the Jews....
Edithann ,   USA   (03.16.13)
Too bad their descendants aren't as loyal the US as the Irish.. TATA
34. # 25...I know you'd like to think it's true...
Edithann ,   USA   (03.16.13)
But it isn't...and you will see shortly... There is not one American who'll go to war with Iran for Israel or for any country...Those days are over! Oh, and Isaeli's military aid was just cut in half...think that might be an indication of how frightened we are of Palestinians or any other Arabs and how worried we are about Israel? You had better hope that Morsi of Egypt can be bought off, or Israel will have war with Egypt next, and then there's Hezbollah and Syria and there's always Gaza...... Do you intend to put up with this BS into the next century and byond? Do you think crazy Herzel did you a favor making you all Zionists and promising the Middle East? What's more interesting to me is how you can't blame your own..when it's been all your fault..And whining for war with Iran will get you nowhere... TATA

It sounded ridiculous to me to read every few months about these so-called survey being conducted.Americans have enough of their problems to now dish out their tax money for Israel.

I have never even visited Israel in my life and I am 63 years old. I am a New Yorker and enjoying the snow falling over Bayside right now. I am aware of Columbia which was nothing but a small but vocal minority trashing Israel with false accusations. However you seem to be happy that people would support Anti Israel / Jewish sentiments. Isn't i9t a bit racist to hate one nation as you do? Isn't it more productive to support both sides of the conflict to promote peace? But unfortunately for centuries Jews and Gypsies have been the target of universal hatred for no reason. People who hate Jews will make up thousands off false reasons to justify themselves.

i am a native new yorker too and your claims are bogus. i graduated columbia and my son graduated harvard last year. most of the protests are done by islamic students. my son tells me that the harvard population just walks by and shakes its head. no one pays attention, really. they scream for nothing. all divestments were turned down by all major student counsel bodies at each university. none were adopted. so goes in england too where oxford just slammed down an israeli divestment proposition by the islamic student association. barks in the wind. that is all. and by the way, most arab students are not the sharpest tool in the shed in any university if you know what i mean. it is the jews that are the sharpest together with their non arab compatriots. even shomsky and other well known anti israel professors said in an interview that the bds movement is a joke and is dead. they have not achieved a single resolution against israel at all. none. smart people are known to practice smart decision making. don't they? so, i am a native new yorker, not a jew, by the way, so your chosen people remarks do not apply to me and i can tell you with utmost certainty that israelis, and not americans per say, are extremely well aware of the world around them and of political events. americans, on the other hand are somewhat ignorant of world events. theodore henderson, manhattan n.y.

jews not loyal to the american continent? what are you talking about? you must mean MUSLIMS AND ARABS in the usa where on every corner they produce another indoctrinated islamic jihadist to bomb our planes, our subway systems, our business towers in manhattan, our synagogues and houses of worship, etc... have you seen any jew for that matter do the above in the usa? i doubt it. jews do not say that the islamic flag of the caliphate will top the white house roof some day. the muslims in this country do. talk about loyalty to the usa!!!!

what about their tax money to the palestinians, to jordan, to egypt, to countries in sub sahara and africa, to lebanon, to syria, to hamas, saudi arabia, etc... how do you feel about that charity by americans? is it fair? or is money to israel the only thing that irks you? by the way, all above countries pay nothing back. nothing! for any military hardware. israel pays back all of them because the purchase is done by isrel via soft loans which america gives israel. everything is payed back and no tax money is ever involved. learn the facts because you sound dumber than a stone repeating such untruths. malcom pederson jr. manitoba canada

My oldest son received his PhD from Princeton in 2012 and the youger one is still a student in Cornell. I visit college campuses regularly to visit him. I am happy to report that while there is a very vocal minority that is anti Israel, majority is for Israel. Even in England Oxford student body voted against BDS recently. The only problem is that Israel supporting majority are silent partly because they are afraid of the Muslim groups that often use intimidation and even violence to deter Israeli supporters from raising their voice.
41. Espicially "5 dancing israelis"
65 year old American   (03.16.13)
Israel has been a parasite since 1947
42. to EDITHANN
ILAN ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (03.16.13)
Good for you, taking real world facts and twisting them by making up fake explanations! Looks like you will have bright future in Politics! You accuse everyone of seeing only what they want to see! hmm. You are absolutely right, lack of information is sad! it allows people like you to twist facts (jews and arabs alike!). In the end pro-Israelis who hate Arabs are racists and Pro-Arabs who hate Israelis are just as racist. and both groups should rot in hell. only after will the rest of us know peace! i wish people like you can come here and see how Jews and Arabs live here side by side in peace. those of us that are not caught up in politics, or brainwashing.
43. To #24
Joshua ,   USA   (03.16.13)
The only real thing happening in your "Increasingly Connect World" is an alarming increase of mass stupidity. Only idiots like you think of Jews as the "Chosen People". The only reason more people support Israel than the Palestinians is because more people in the US understand that Islam is a cult of hatred and destruction of those who refuse to be subjugated to its hellish bend. We had our taste of it on Sept. 11!
44. To: No. 41
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.16.13)
American, eh? How come you never bothered to learn how to spell? I guess you're just a parasite on the American taxpayer. Just another welfare gouger and SSI scrounger. Hmm. You've been a parasite all your life, haven't you?
45. LOL look at Edithann

She has her panties in a knot over this poll lololol.

You've never been outside the USA have you? I suggest you google something like ''countries ranked by press freedom'' or ''countries ranked by personal freedom'' or ''countries ranked by democratic freedom'' or ''countries ranked by corruption'' or ''countries ranked by free market'' and so on and so so. You'll find the the USA is mediocre on these measures and that Israel is not even on the radar. Get out and learn a bit about the world around you. In the USA you are living in a media propaganda bubble.
47. I support Israel 101%

Hey, Paki boy! The United States dumps $3 billion every year down that bottomless well of need called Pakistan. And for what? Shielding Osama bin Laden for ten years? Tell me -- without United States taxpayer dollars, where would you Pakis be? For that matter, where are you Pakis even with copious amounts of United States dollars? Killing little girls who demand the right to be educated? You are pure filth, is what you are.
49. To: No. 32
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.17.13)
Haved? Campus's? It's Harvard and campuses. Your lack of knowledge -- elementary knowledge -- is sadly showing. So ... in which New York City crack house were you born?

And when the Irish back in the seventies were gun-running to the provos in contravention of United States law -- yeah, real loyal. You are an idiot... ann!
51. # 37....this should cover it....
Edithann ,   USA   (03.17.13)
First I don't believe anyone who could write such racist BS is an American, and a Columbia U.Graduate. Not all divestments are being turned down...and 'if at first you don't succeed...you must always try again'..That's how the PA got to the UN...remember...and things are now getting 'hot'... However, the BDS is creating havoc and it will continue, it must be or we wouldn't be hearing the whining so much....They're going after everything.. I love your educated racists conclusion on Arabs..it's so Jewish.. Americans don't get up to the minute unbiased world news..There is no such thing here..I bet you think AIPAC isn't a reality either... One has to go to the Internet for information..... Now the push is to seperate Zionism, Israel and Judaism... Zionism is becoming a dirty word even to American Jews.. .Good luck with that one..but I see it's causing schisms...and that's always good! So how is Hillel doing on the Harvard Campus...Is Dershowitz giving tours? TATA
52. Pity the poor Israel basher
hmp49 ,   Asheville NC USA   (03.19.13)
"Couldn't possibly be further from the truth" as in...I'm not crazy, it's the rest of the world that's crazy. And by the way, the poll is taken every year, I quote it when all those wishful thinking Israel bashers claim support for Israel is fading.
53. TATA edithann
hmp49 ,   Asheville NC   (03.19.13)
Catholic church stopped demonizing the Jews 50 years ago, join the 20th century, in 10 years maybe you can join the 21st. You can't accept the fact that most Americans don't hold your point of view. That is strictly your problem, not America's.
54. Show me the video of 5 dancing Israelis
hmp49 ,   Asheville NC USA   (03.19.13)
You can't because there is no such thing. But I can show you videos of thousands of PAlestinians dancing in the streets and giving out candy on 9/11 celebrating the deaths of 3,000 Americans. If you were a true American, you'd be able to tell your friends from your enemies.
55. # 53...No, you're wrong..
Edithann ,   USA   (03.20.13)
I only call them as I see them...if you think it demonizing Israel then you don't know what demonizing means.. Israel was set up to be the demon...didn't you read Dyan and watch what's happened to the Palestinians since '48? Come on now..you're in the USA...you can't be that stupid not to realize what's happened and continues to happen... You know exactly what Israel has done...so then you condone it's theft of Palestinian lands, demolishing their homes and killing any chances for them to live on their own land? You had better get in touch with reality as your one sided Jewish bigotry and racism is just too obvious... TATA
