Has Bush made you less sympathetic to Israel?
Even Sharon didn't make me less sympathetic to Israel, but the Idiot Son has.

What about you?

4. Actually, No....
Certain radical elements of Israel have made me less sympathetic to Israel. I am totally against torture such as the Mossaud (sp) reportedly uses against the Palestinians. I am against just taking their land from them, bombing indiscriminately and then later saying they were looking for terrorists. I am against the U.S. policy of just blanketly overlooking some of these ill-conceived ideas and actions.

6. He might invade them as part of the "war on terror"
Canada isn't safe either. I have MORE sympathy for every single person in every single nation on this planet, because of GWB.

7. 9-11 has made me less sympathetic. When you investigate anything
with that tragedy, only three names come out - Cheney & pals, CIA, and Israel.

11. His minions have raised the consciousness of many of us to the
inequities of the US policy toward the Paestinians. Inadvertantly of course...

18. Interested in your opinion
on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as a duel citizenship holder, and an obviously strong supporter of the current government in Israel.

14. Now I understand how Israel ended up with such a crummy government
Now that the US, like Israel, has been taken over by a right-wing party that presents a brutal face toward the world, I am more sympathetic...our governments are not *us*.

15. No
Bush had nothing to do with it. I haven't been very sympathetic to Israel for 20 years.
