Poll Finds Americans Side with Israel
(UPI) Americans, by a significant margin, believe the U.S. should support Israel in its conflict with Palestinians, a poll released Sunday by The Israel Project shows. 80% agree with the statement, "Enemies of America use the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as an excuse to create anti-American sentiment. Even if the dispute is settled, they would find another excuse to justify their hostility towards America." 73% said the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is about ideology and religion, not land. 64% said they believed Iran will pursue a goal of destroying Israel, and 80% believed Iran's nuclear program would make it easier for terrorist groups to gain access to nuclear weapons.
