62. A plurality of Americans favor an IMMEDIATE cease-fire
Edited on Sun Jul-23-06 12:26 AM by JackNewtown
Obviously, they weren't voting their concious in their 100-0, 410-8 votes in a one-sided resolution that was more extreme than even Bush's position on the conflict.

Most Americans--by a large margin--also favor Israel returning to the 1967 borders. Why doesn't that translate into American policy, which facilitates the continued occupation of Palestinian lands and the Golan Heights? Any guesses? ;)

If you took a public vote in Congress on requesting Israel to return to the 1967 borders the vote would probably be 90-8 against it in the Senate...
