1. Logical
USABorn   (01.14.09)
The world sees Hamas as the aggressors. Bombing Israel at will has started the war in Gaza. I hope the Israeli's do what needs to be done to protect their citizens. It is obvious Hamas could care less about the people they hide among.
2. Whar would you expect from....
David ,   London   (01.14.09)
A nation that is responsible for Abu Ghreib, Guantanamo and rendition. America and Israel are partners in crime!
3. Obviously #2
Paul ,   New York, NY   (01.15.09)
We support Israel because, unlike Europe, we haven't been overrun with Muslims, and aren't scared to state the facts. I thought that after the Madrid and London bombing, Europe would wake up, but I guess the whole continent has been castrated by their left. Good luck with Sharia Law in London, #2. We'll keep the lights of civilization burning for you while you descend back to the 7th century.
4. To #2 in London
Paulo ,   Sao Paulo - Brasil   (01.15.09)
Dont spit on those who have saved you twice. If not for the USA you should have been speaking german or russian by now!
5. To #2 in London -2
Paulo ,   Sao Paulo - Brazil   (01.15.09)
In 5 years from now if not for the USA you will be speaking arabic!
6. What's new
(01.15.09)
Those are your roboters and their remote controle is in the hand of the Jewish zionists loby in america .... so no wounder ... what we expect from people their prisdent made a world disaster and they elected him two times ... and in the end he came to say i am sorry it was wrong information after he killed more than 100,000 peoples so no wounder when his friend in Israel killes some thousends each 2 years .
7. #2 David, are you a descendant of Neville Chamberlain?
Cynic ,   USA   (01.15.09)
Don't come begging us to save you when they come for you.
8. Al-Quaeda = Hamas. Enough Said!
Cynic ,   USA   (01.15.09)
9. Those 44% cant find Texas on the map.They know about Sderot,hard to believe,sorry.

10. Americans are known for their deep knowledge of the world
Tarik ,   Boston, MA USA   (01.14.09)
They are also known for knowledge of geography, and their understanding that evolution never happened. Americans are known for their deep and reflective intellectual qualities.
11. #2 - Just like a smug Brit
Proud American   (01.15.09)
You limeys haven't taken a moral stand since Churchill. Apparently you've forgotten what it's like. Good luck in Londonistan. Hope you don't come crying to us to bail you out.
12. Proud to be an American!!!
Barry S. ,   NY   (01.14.09)
13. can they find europe on the map?
Max ,   France   (01.15.09)
The pollĀ“s result might be true. Since more than 50% of the americans can't find Europe or Israel on the map and most local TV stations don't report about what is going on in the world (mostly local news), are the american not well informed. Furthermore is the US media in USA in jewish hands. Inform the american the way the european does and make then a poll. Then only 20% will be pro Israel. French student
14. #2 Partners in crime
Menachem ,   Israel   (01.15.09)
Don't try to preach morality to Israel and the US, two countries that are far more decent and civilized than you hypocritical Europeans will ever be. The real partners in crime are Europe and the Moslem world who apart from China, have slaughtered more innocent people than anyone else in the world.
15. Dear #13 French Student
Paul ,   New York, NY   (01.15.09)
How typical of you. When your friends go out at night to burn some cars and riot in Paris, and beat up 14y/o Jewish girls, do you have deep discussions about how ignorant and stupid Americans are?
16. To #10 Tarik
Paulo ,   Sao Paulo - Brazil   (01.15.09)
"Americans are known for their deep and reflective intellectual qualities" And arabs are well known for their profound intellectual contribution to the world in the last 1300 years that amounts ZERO
17. G/d Bless the USA & Israel
Eric ,   San Francisco, CA   (01.15.09)
long live israel
18. Ynet "Biased and unfair"!!!!
Scott ,   Miami   (01.15.09)
Ynet, what happened to my comment. I think you can not handle the truth of how biased and unfair you are as well as the US media that keep feeding the Americans. Your polls are fake and only represent the results of lies and deceiptions.
19. Presumptuous Max in France
american   (01.15.09)
Your assumption about Americans being uninformed is typical of French arrogance. Unless you're prepared to come here and conduct your own scientific poll, you had better not pass off your bigotry as fact. I know where France is on the map (I actually lived there for a bit;) and you can rest assured that if I ever find you, I will eat your cheese and drink all of your Mersault before you can say a toute a l'heure, mon ami.
20. #13, old attitudes, modern Hate
Stan ,   USA   (01.15.09)
Typical of a French student (who can't write English very well) to say how it is true because the Jews control the media. I guess Hitler didn't really give up France after all. This from the same country that is currently attacking it's Jewish residents viciously for what happens in Gaza. When we start educating America like they educate Europeans will be the day that we demonize anyone who contradicts the idea that Israel is evil and lead the world in attacks on Jews.
21. 3 state solution
SF2OAK ,   Oakland, CA   (01.15.09)
I'm for a 3 state solution: Egypt, Jordan & Israel. The trick will be to find who can tolerate the palestinians. There obviously can be no peace with a neighbor(hamas) who calls for your destruction.
22. The UK is the shame of Europe!
Gabriel ,   Budapest, Hungary   (01.15.09)
Comments coming from Londonistan don't represent all Europe. Central and East-Central Europe, as well the Italian and German governments are all with Israel and the US. Only France and leftist Spain are sharing the UK's anti-Israeli and anti -Jewish position. The British are deeply anti-Semitic and now they are in the hand of their Muslim masses. God bless America and shame on Britain!
23. To #13
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (01.15.09)
Most Americans may not find Europe on a map, but don't worry, they'll get there when you need your ass saved again.
24. It's all expected!!!
SCOTT   (01.15.09)
It's all expected when you feed us with biased news towards Israel...Whenever you show the truth about Israel as terror, racist, and criminal country, then we will do new poll and see if americans support Israel. We are simple people, but israel and its corrupt friends has took advantage of our simplicity. Let the freedom ring in Palestine. I think everyone was born free and deserve freedom, but according to Israel the Palestinans are the only exception to this rule. Shame....Shame on America...for supporting such "country". Ynet may be now you can show some truth...!!!
25. I DONT SUPPORT ISRAELs OFFENSIVE
AMERICAN   (01.15.09)
AND I AM FULL BLOODed AMerican.
26. NOT WITH ISRAEL
another American   (01.15.09)
Not with ISRAEL. believe me, i do not know WHO they polled. but it must be rigged. or they only polled jewish americans.
27. European hypocrisy, American intelligence
Korem ,   New York, USA   (01.15.09)
Firstly, America has the highest GDP in the world, and the most cultural and economic influence of any nation in the world. Anyone who thinks "americans r stoopid" is clearly jealous of that fact. No nation with America's standing could have obtained such power if its populace was all stupid. But more importantly, the most annoying thing about European hypocrites is the fact that they accuse Americans of being brainwashed by the media, or "the Jewish media." WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'VE BEEN GETTING ALL YOUR INFORMATION FROM? Your European media outlets are equally accusable of being heavily biased towards the Palestinian side due to Arab oil money or whatever. So when you start attacking the people of other nations as being "brainwashed by the media" look at your OWN CLOSE-MINDED, IGNORANT, AND ARROGANT SELVES. I wrote a 3 page essay on why Israel is in the right in the Gaza conflict and sent it to friends and psoted it on multiple blogs. NOT ONE EUROPEAN has challenged any of the statements, facts, and brutal direct logic without saying, "you kill palestinian children! I saw the pictures on the news unlike in Jewish-run media!" Am Yisrael Chai, and G-d Bless America.
28. #13 French student - your grade for this essay is F.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.15.09)
"more than 50% of the americans can't find Europe or Israel on the map " - I think the vast majority of Americans can certainly find Europe on the map. As for Israel, it's a bit harder to find, but so what. Israel is in a different continent, and about the size of New Jersey. I wonder how many Europeans can find, say, Arkansas, on the map of the US? "the US media in USA in jewish hands" - Some in the American media are Jews, but certainly not all. Actually, the biggest names in American media are not Jewish. Ted Turner, president of the Turner Network which includes CNN. Rupert Murdoch, president of New Corp which includes FOX news. Sean McManus, president of CBS. Dave Westin, president of ABC, etc. "Inform the american the way the european does " -Oh, you mean the way European media routinely buys into Pallywood productions? The way the BBC routinely blames Israel for all the wrongs in the world? The way your France 2 conjured up the entire Muhammad Dura myth? Americans deserve better than this cr*p.
29. 25 and 26 you are
(01.15.09)
not American.
30. let's pray for peace
Audai ,   UAE   (01.15.09)
let's pray for peace in the Middle East. God bless Israel God bless Palestine
