In a poll conducted by McLaughlin Associates, there isn’t much support for Kerry’s peace plan or for the Palestinian Authority. Obama and other leftist politicians have complained that Congress has the same views as the Likud.
Apparently so do most Americans, which may be why Congress has those views. The poll is nearly evenly split between Democrats and Republicans and only included 3.6% of Jews. And it reflects views that are well to the right of the editorial page and Washington D.C.
47% of Americans believe that Israeli Jews should have the right to live in the West Bank in part for Israel to self-defend its borders, whereas only 14% of Americans believe only Palestinian Arabs should have the right to live there (over a 3 –– 1 ratio)
An overwhelming majority of 72% Americans oppose President Obama’s plan to give the Palestinian Authority (PA) $440 million, as opposed to 15% who believe that he should (almost a 5 –– 1 ratio).
A large majority 63% of Americans believe that the PA should recognize Israel as the sovereign state of the Jewish people, whereas only 11% believe it should not (almost a 6 –– 1 ratio).
Only 31% of Americans believe that President Barack Obama is a close and reliable friend of Israel, as opposed to 38% who believe that he is not. (This is a surprising result, given that the U.S. has always been known as Israel’s closest and most reliable friend).
A large majority of 59% of Americans believe that the U.S. should impose stronger sanctions on Iran to convince it to stop developing nuclear weapons, as opposed to 17% who believe the U.S. should weaken sanctions on Iran to convince it to stop developing nuclear weapons.
The Obama policy of weakening sanctions on Iran has the support of 17 percent. The majority of Americans also support a united Jerusalem and believe that people have the right to live in the West Bank regardless of religion or nationality which flies in the face of the UN Apartheid obsession with ethnically cleansing the Jewish population of the territories.

@ bernard ross:
I believe that what we are seeing in asfar as ‘government’ goes, is a criminal organization whose uniform is a reversible trench coat. It is decided that at certain intervals, half of the criminals would be wearing the red side of the coat and at other intervals, the other half wears the blue side of the same coat….
No difference whatsoever.
best defense is a good offense: a continuous series of repeated disclosures implicating, and giving evidence of Obamas scandals and breaches of law. Funny the GOP isn’t doing anything along these lines.
Congress and US citizens back Israel. So Israel needs to say to Obama and Kerry plan thanks but no thanks.
Obama is in line for a new career after his term ends. There is 29% reduction in the Clown members association.
He will have 8 years as a President clown and so he should be approved easily into the clown association.
