Seeing The World As It Is

clipped from www.powerlineblog.com The pollsters put the following question to 800 likely U.S. voters: Thinking about the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in the Middle East, please tell me whether, in general, you consider yourself to be an Israel supporter, Palestinian supporter, or neither/undecided. 59 percent of the respondents said they were Israel supporters, compared to 8 percent who support the Palestinians. This represented something of a rebound in support for Israel; after Obama's Cairo speech, only 49 percent of respondents said they considered themselves Israel supporters.
