Poll: 73 Percent of Americans View Israel as Loyal Ally
(Anti-Defamation League) 73% of Americans say Israel can be counted on as a strong, loyal U.S. ally, while 18% disagree, according to a survey conducted in October by Marttila Strategies on behalf of the ADL. 63% view Israel as serious about wanting to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians, while 44% see Palestinian leaders as serious about wanting a peace agreement with Israel. 64% agree that it is up to the Palestinians and the Israelis to solve their own problems and that any lasting peace agreement between them must be reached with minimal involvement from the U.S. 58% say a Palestinian state must not be established until Palestinians demonstrate a commitment to end violence and accept Israel's legitimacy.
