1. 63% of Americans Buy into Israeli Propaganda
Fares ,   Qatar   (02.28.10)
That should be the real headline. The good news is Palestinians should have learned by now not to rely on America to be an honest broker. Between AIPAC and a U.S. Congress that is compromised by special interest groups, America has never once forced Israel to uphold its commitments from 20+ years of American-brokered "peace" talks. That is largely why we have the problems we have today. It is time for the Palestinians to end their reliance on biased America to broker talks and bring more neutral parties into the mix.
2. #1 Fares: 99% of Arabs buy into propaganda of Iran
Yacov ,   Chicago   (02.28.10)
99% of Arabs buy into the propaganda of Iran's mullahs, who blame Israel and her Jews for all of the problems of Islamic countries. Why don't you welcome the Palestinians and make homes for them as Israel welcomed the Jews who were ethnically cleansed from Islamic countries?
3. 1. Americans just dont believe arab bs
moishe ,   usa   (02.28.10)
They look at actions not bs talk. They see palestinians dancing on roofs when the US is attacked by terrorists. They see palestinian textbooks and kids shows raising another generation of terrorists. To believe palestinians, they would have to close their eyes, and cover their ears, like you Fares
4. #1 Ah yeah buddy sure
Dabosshog   (02.28.10)
You are better off speaking for Qatar. Since u sound like you have no clue. Who really even knows about Qatar. You and your opinion are a joke. You could never put the so-called palis and commitment in the same sentence. unless you add broke or broken.
5. #1 Actually the headline should read "US&rest of world no
longer believe pali ,   muslim propaganda!   (02.28.10)
6. #1
mark ,   ca   (02.28.10)
Interesting,neutral parties...please,name one.
7. #1 the twisted sister
Tom ,   New York City   (02.28.10)
Are you not suspect for believing in Arab, Muslim, and Leftist propaganda yourself? I'm sure you are convinced that you got a handle on the real truth. Your culture is constantly reinforcing this. In our far from perfect culture we have the blessing of freedom of thought. Fares you are the fool, because you don't get it!
8. Pickpocket Obama's Indonesian passport
DaniEl ,   CA USA   (02.28.10)
It could come in handy at the next pillow party.
9. #1 - Honest broker?
Eyal ,   USA   (02.28.10)
Name me 1 Arab country who is an honest broker for Israel? That's what I thought...none.
10. If the poll is accurate, why not print it the question?
charles ,   Los Angeles   (02.28.10)
We need to know who, and where and how the questions where posed before we accept the statement that 63% of the American public supports the Israelis. I can honestly say, from my personal experience, well read people here, that are not Jews or Christian fundamentalist, do not support Israel, that is, in spite of the fact that the main news sources give a bias picture in favor of the Israelis of the conflict with the Palestinians.
11. 63% of Americans know where...
Joey Rose ,   Portland   (02.28.10)
their bread is buttered.
12. :Obama away...,Bibi takes over
Roland Seener ,   London England   (02.28.10)
13. #1 The graph will show 100% soon .I hope
Roland Seener ,   London England   (02.28.10)
14. The support of a friend from the land of the BBC : You ...
Ron B. ,   Lod   (02.28.10)
The support of a friend from the land of the BBC : You are not supposed to ignore facts and the truth. The State of Israel has packed more history into her sixty years on the planet than many other nations have in six hundred. There are many surprising things about this tiny, feisty, brave nation the size of Wales, but the most astonishing is that she has lived till today. The very day after the new state was established, she was invaded by the armies of no fewer than five Arab countries, and she has been struggling for her right to life ever since. It’s worth reading.... : http://xrl.us/bktc8
15. Fares
James ,   Herzeliya   (02.28.10)
No Fares, it means that 63% of the Americans don't buy arab propaganda.
16. 63%?
juan solana ,   san diego, usa   (02.28.10)
If this is true... what a shame!... it means that the american people just believe what they hear, just like that, the same as if somebody tell them that there are little green people on Mars....they will believe it as well!!!
17. Mr. Fares
Mark ,   USA   (02.28.10)
Mr. Fares, as a simple measure of your perspective, are you supportive of recognition of Israel as a Jewish nation-state? Without that recognition, along with other factors, there can be no peace.
18. TO #1: Well, actually Fares...
Eliyahu ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.28.10)
It is time for the Palestinians and the rest of their Arab brothers to lay down their swords and talk peace instead of war. We can hardly expect you to act civilized to us when you act like blood thirsty behemoths amongs yourselves. First stop the "honor killings" and the mutilation of female genitalia, the sex slave trade, the general slave trade, and world wide terrorism. Then maybe you can talk to us about fairness and peace. Sababa?
19. Americans seek justice
mordechai taub ,   jerusalem   (02.28.10)
The American public respects Israel for going after a chief terrorist in Dubai. They wish their government would do more of the same.
20. #1
(02.28.10)
You should be asking why is it only 63% support Israel. I mean the 9/11 attackers were not Jews.
