Americans are overwhelmingly convinced that the Palestinians have not met the Bush administration's conditions for statehood, and a vast majority is opposed to resettling all Jews from the West Bank and Gaza Strip inside the Green Line.

The findings, from a poll commissioned by the Zionist Organization of America that was conducted in mid-January, found that 67.4% of 1,000 Americans surveyed say the Palestinians have not met the conditions outlined by US President George W. Bush for statehood, including fighting terrorism and ending incitement, and 66.6% are against expelling all Jews from their homes in the territories.

5. Americans have gotten hip

If you read the article:

The poll, commissioned by the firm McLaughlin & Associates, also found that nearly three quarters of Americans (73.6%) support halting $200 million in annual aid to the Palestinians, and just 15% support continuing the aid.

In addition, 55.7% of respondents said they agree that the Palestinians' goal is "the eventual destruction of Israel" compared to 21.3% who say their goal is statehood alongside Israel.


It was conducted mid-January.

2. a ZOA poll published in the J.Post

That's like Newsmax reporting on a Fox News poll.

Coueism. If you can pretend to yourself that it's true, and you say it's true- poof! it becomes true. It's wonderful therapy, just forever in an abusive relationship with Reality.

4. It's news

The article is posted as written in New York. Is that anything new? How come the Guardian posts articles on Israel, politics, events, etc, or the China News for that matter, using the same words as Haaretz? This is not a valid complaint or criticism.

3. who appointed "W" to World Kingmaker, anyway?

granted that it's a typical tendency of the position, that makes it no less obnoxious.

6. Who cares what bushes conditions for statehood are?

Who in the fuck is bush to think it's any of his business? Why should we care about what Americans think of this issue? The Israelis need to give back that which they have stolen.
