Over 60 percent of Israelis want Trump win: poll

[Klaralven]

More than 60 percent of Israelis believe a victory for Donald Trump in the US presidential election would be preferable for the Jewish state, an opinion poll indicated on Monday.

According to the poll, commissioned by the Jerusalem-based think-tank the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI), and released on the eve of the US vote, 63 percent of Israelis, including 70 percent of Jews, think a Trump win is in Israel's interests.

However, only 17 percent of Israelis surveyed said US Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would be better for Israel, while 20 percent said they did not know.

"Presumably this pronounced preference among the Jewish public for Trump to keep serving stems to a large extent from the assessment that Biden's election would weaken US-Israeli relations, and strengthen the relationship between Washington and the Palestinians," IDI said.

Another poll in mid-October, carried out for the Tel Aviv-based i24 news TV channel, found that 63 percent of Israelis said Trump would be a more pro-Israeli president.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. Huh?

Are you referring to the poster or the Israelis?

[Submariner]

16. For people who were exterminated by the millions

due to racism, it is shocking to me to see a majority of that country prepared to support a racist fascist wannabe dictator who supports police murder of non-whites and murder of his opponents, for their own selfish interests.

Israel should fucking know better than supporting a psycho like trump imho.
