New Poll Shows Massive US Support For Israel

While much of the world believes that Israel is more of a threat to world peace than Iran or North Korea (which just makes us super optimistic about the future, by the by), Americans are having none of that:

American public support for Israel in the face of its enemies is at a five-year high, a poll found. A new survey commissioned by the Israel Project showed that an average of 66 percent of Americans rate their feelings toward the Jewish state as “warm” or “very favorable,” while 11 percent gave Iran a positive rating. Asked about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, 65 percent of respondents said they support Israel, while 10 percent said they support the Palestinians.

Here’s what gets us though: that means that there’s at least 15 percent of the US population who thinks that the best thing they can do for Israel is vote Democratic. Let’s bracket out the 4.5 million liberal American Jews who are dumb enough to believe that, and who are pretty much hopeless. Now you’ve got – minimum – over 33 million non-Jews who think that voting Democratic is the best way to support the West’s front line against Islamic radicalism. We understand that the US is losing the drug war, but we’re surely not losing it that badly are we?
