1. Leftists don't want Israel to know America likes Bibi!
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.27.15)
I can explain Bechor's plaint that Israel's sky high favourability among Americans receives little exposure in Israel. Labor and leftists don't want Israel to know that America likes Bibi! That would destroy their whole phony narrative.
2. Republicans Conservative Human Rights Democracy need Redist
Zechariah   (02.27.15)
The Republicans have a robust Conservative Human Rights Democracy too Robust and need to do more re Distrubution of Wealth .ironically Mitt Romney introduced a Universal Health Care System in Michigan but showed lack of judgement re mockery of unemployed and pensioners .
3. Am Yisrael Chai in the hearts
ASTRONAUT ,   USA   (02.27.15)
and souls of millions of Americans, Jewish and Christian alike: partners in Democracy, Defenders of Equality, Seekers of G-d's Word. We stand as One.
4. Romeo and Juliette love story...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (02.27.15)
Not my favourite.
5. Don't confuse Obama with america
David ,   New york   (02.27.15)
Americans by and large admire israel. Obama despises it. But Obama also doesn't love America either. Rudolph Giuliani expressed that same sentiment that millions of Americans feel: Obama thinks America is the problem in the world, not the solution. America will no longer have Obama in 1 1/2 years. They already voted his party out of the house and senate and his approval is in the gutter
6. AIPAC conference is completely sold out
C   (02.27.15)
it is being reported that the aipac conference has been completely sold out. susan rice and samantha powers will represent the us administration.
7. don't sweat this media & Dem nonsense hype
Cameron ,   USA   (02.27.15)
I sense & see no real indicators that my fellow citizens have turned their face away from Israel. There has been no "sea change" in backing or support. Just an administration exceedingly sour at being put on the spot.
8. Classic shlemiel-y looks
Beno   (02.27.15)
please ditch the spectacles already, and do something with that hair!
9. Writer must be after greencard,it's always USA good EU bad
Ilan ,   tel aviv   (02.27.15)
So predictable and a bit cringe to read. This writer reported nonsense and incorrect statistics the other week on the UK, it was kee amended and remains out there in th public domain. And then now we have this lazy article about how amazing a "poll" is. Head down to the Bible Belt in a kippa and see what happens.
10. "A love story?"
Dan ,   USA   (02.27.15)
Mr. Bechor, do not rely on assumed gentile gullibility. We know too well what your country is doing to ours with the aid of the fifth column. There will be a payday, you know.
11. J Street and its kind work hard against us
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (02.27.15)
Our ultra Liberal loonies work hard to get the message out that we Israelis are war mongers, that we hate peace and that we are racists. J Street, Amnesty, Rabbis with out Brains, etc, have plenty of money to push the message that we Israelis are crazy. It is the ultra-liberal extremists who are the real danger to Israel.
12. The thinking, feeling Israelis know that all the time. Death
(02.27.15)
Cultists from Meretz & assorted Leftist outfits will never accept that as a fact, since it does not conform to their warped world view.
13. Slanderous
Lonny ,   Haifa, Israel   (02.27.15)
"which is based – among other things – on the Muslim voice and on the voice of American Jews from the radical left." Even if every Jew and every Muslim in the United States viewed the PA favorably, it would only amount to 4%. Your suggestion that these people represent the support of the PA is slanderous.
14. Poll
Suq Madiq ,   LA   (02.27.15)
Looks like the poll samples red neck evangelo zios
15. #14 no
(02.27.15)
The poll sampled people who owned televisions and saw what happens in every place that has Arab Muslims rulers
16. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.28.15)
Actually, slander addresses the verbal word. If you wish to address the written word, you would need to say that it is libelous. Please learn the difference. It's actually an important one. By the way -- if what is spoken or written happens to be the truth, it is not slander, nor is it libel.
17. Can only speak for myself.
American Vet   (02.27.15)
Opposed to the zionist regime's occupation of Palestine. Questions the legitimacy of israel.
18. The US likes Israel, dislikes Bibi
Daniel   (02.28.15)
What's new here? Lots of people LOVE Israel, the problem is the current government. Lots of people like the US but dislike Obama. Same thing here, most Americans like Israel but truly dislike Bibi. He is the problem in our relationship with the whole world. I'd be a multi millionaire if I had a shekel for ever person who loves Israel but cannot stand Bibi.
19. Don't confuse Obama with america
David ,   New york   (02.27.15)
Americans by and large admire israel. Obama despises it. But Obama also doesn't love America either. Rudolph Giuliani expressed that same sentiment that millions of Americans feel: Obama thinks America is the problem in the world, not the solution. America will no longer have Obama in 1 1/2 years. They already voted his party out of the house and senate and his approval is in the gutter
20. To: No. 18
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.01.15)
Actually, most Americans like Prime Minister Netanyahu. And most Americans despise Obama. Fact of the matter is, Prime Minister Netanyahu's toenail clippings are smarter than Obama. Obama knows it. So do the American people. Check the polls, Danny boy.
