1. did you ask them if they can point iran on the map?
atm ,   Canada   (11.12.11)
2. The poll, titled American Attitudes Toward Israel
Eric Austin ,   Henderson, Nevada   (11.12.11)
Were only christians or republicans surveyed? There seems to be a huge issue of politics infused with religion. They should be completely seperate. If you don't belive me. The majority of Republicans are christian, with strong beliefs that god will bless all who stand by israel. Thats why "usually" a republican president is best for the intrests of israel. There for israel likes to take full advantage of the aid, free money, and american military backing so they can flex there muscles in the middle east and get america into another war. Iraq false intelligence, and the need to attack iraq because it was a threat also to israel...
3. Israel will strike Iran will withdraw from the IAEA
one american ,   los angeles   (11.12.11)
Then the war erupt we american will enjoy getting rid of twin big headache
4. F-15s
Kam ,   Tehran, Iran   (11.12.11)
Actually, it would be F-15s over Iran. Boy oh boy, you Israelis are really scaring the crab out of us. Our knees have not stopped quivering ever since you people have started threatening to bomb our country. Please oh please don't kill us! We're weak and incapable of defending ourselves. If you decide to nuke us, we may just have to move to Israel to live. Unfortunately, there won't be enough room for the both of us !
5. That`s a lie!!!
ME ,   USA   (11.12.11)
NO WE(the people) DON`T! Maybe the stupid politicians might, but we don`t.
6. Oh great its not enough that the ultra orthodox....
(11.12.11)
want Israel to be their mule, now the Americans want us to be their mule too!
7. Attack is the best kind of defence
Berk ,   Amsterdam, Holland   (11.12.11)
The EU should support this instead of considering negotiations with devils like Ahmadinejad and Khamenei
8. There was no poll
Richard Wicks ,   Sunnyvale, US   (11.12.11)
I'm 40 years old, I've never gotten polled in my life and I don't know a single person that has been. If Israel wants to attack Iran, whatever, but quit trying to drag the United States into it. The United States populace is sick of it, and AIPAC isn't powerful enough to gain the necessary support no matter how many fake polls or how many planted media stories about Iran are made.
9. Obama is probably having sleepness
eric ,   Israel....   (11.12.11)
nights or he is wetting his bed,he has these nightmares what is Israel going too do,help me somebody help me,the Israelis are driving me crazy.

12. #2
Zorro ,   Far Away   (11.12.11)
Keep your money...you need it more than us.
13. LIKE PULLING A TOOTH OUT
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.12.11)
The prospect of attacking Iran is like going to the dentisit to remove a rotten tooth .We all know it has to be done ,unfortunately .Better sooner than later.
14. #2
T-man ,   USA   (11.12.11)
The majority of republicans are Christian because the majority of Americans are Christians...The majority of Democrats are Christians too......
15. 4# Dont worry I will find a place for you.
Eric... ,   Israel....   (11.12.11)
You can stay in my home,you can clean and garden for me.Please do not worry.
16. Of course most Americans support Israel
David ,   San Francisco, CA   (11.12.11)
The US media is more blindly pro Israel than Israeli media! US medias stance on Israel is to the right of your typical Israeli media outlet. Every Israeli death and injury is covered, while a blood bath in the occupied territories is never mentioned, but if it is, it is automatically justified no matter what! Without AIPAC, American support for Israel would be very low. When AIPAC crumbles, so will the Israeli occupation and brutality they inflict on the Palestinians.
17. # 15
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.12.11)
Dont you also need Kam to do the cooking for you??
18. #11, Birdi, she/he is just an asshole !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.12.11)
19. Im glad to read this! GOD bless America!
david   (11.12.11)
20. Really? Because a CBS poll said...
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (11.12.11)
About 85% of Americans are against any war with Iran. Hmmm....
21. #4
J ,   Aus   (11.12.11)
If Israel decides to nuke you, you will be dead. You don't have to worry about moving anywhere
22. As always ISRAEL will do the DIRTY JOB ! ( End )
Mark ,   T.a. israel   (11.12.11)
23. #4 your country is the one making all the threats
Roee ,   Israel   (11.12.11)
no matter what you may think about the israeli-arab conflict , your so called government is ruining your country and its time you fight against those who torment you
24. #4 Sand to Glass!
David ,   Concord USA   (11.12.11)
Kam, Your County continues to threaten Israel and the USA and we will not tolerate bullies that arm terrorists to do their dirty work. Israel has shown restraint over the years of threats and terrorism inflicted by your country. We will not stand by and let your reign of terror continue! Israel has already demonstrated how it handles nuclear ambition by terrorists with its bombings on Iraq and Syria. You won't be "occupying" Israel or putting one foot on Israeli soil, you will be molded into glass after Israel is done with you! PS, don't think your friends from N. Korea, China and Russia will save you!
25. Its the Iranians themselves that seek their own destruction!
ben zion   (11.12.11)
Its nothing but iranian politics that will bring the attack ! Iranian religious lfanatics think they can threaten Israel with destruction without Israel destry them first ? Man, these guys dont understand nothing - they are just suicidal !
26. Everyone able to distinguish left from right supports Israel
who cares   (11.12.11)
27. and you? smarty pants
fred ,   USA   (11.12.11)
and just would you do after making jerky remarks? Have Israel attack or not? Without US support? go on record with something other than your bluster
28. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.12.11)
Don't worry. If we nuke you, your next home will be a coffin. Unless we decide to tip you into the ground as is.
29. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.12.11)
So, the United States is willing to get dragged into a whole host of wars to try and bring democracy to the Arab world (good luck with that one!) but unwilling to preserve the existence of the only actually existing democracy in that part of the world, which happens, by the way, to be the only strong and loyal ally of the United States in the region. Okay, good to learn. My goodness! Have I neglected to mention that Iran invaded the United States in 1979 (yes, Richard, the U.S. Embassy in Teheran was American soil), took hostages, kept them under imponderable circumstances for four years, and that same Iran considers the United States to be the "Great Satan" and has threatened the United States and United States interests (i.e., the U.S. Navy) in the Gulf for a VERY long time? You, sir, are an ass. A complete imbecile. Too stupid to live.
30.  What Precedence?
Kam ,   Tehran, Iran   (11.13.11)
I sincerely question the intelligence of those who may compare the bombings of Iraqi and syrian nuke facilities to that of Iran's far-removed numerous and well hidden instalations. Not to mention the uncomparable defensive capacities. I have a feeling, however, that you guys aren't really serious about making a move. Too bad though, we were actually looking forward to busting some heads. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to DO your lizard-eating bedouin stooges in Saudi Arabia.
