U.S. Public Supports Israel, Wary of U.S. Involvement
[Christian Science Monitor] Linda Feldmann - A CNN poll taken July 19 found that 65 percent of Americans do not want the U.S. to play an "active role" in trying to resolve the conflict between Israel and Hizballah, versus 27 percent who do. 45 percent favored U.S. military participation in an international peacekeeping force; 42 percent opposed the idea. In another poll conducted last week for the Israel Project, U.S. public support for Israel had risen to 60 percent, up from 45 percent last January, before the election of Hamas. Support for the Palestinians remained at 7 percent in both polls.
