Of course Obama and Congress will never utter a word about how cruel and backwards these people are.

Max Blumenthal is a great Jewish American journalist, who is fluent in Hebrew. Also the son of Sydney Blumenthal.

He is a wonderful resource for anyone wanting to know the truth about Israel.

I encourage anybody on the fence regarding our support of Israel to follow his twitter feed.

Did you get bored yesterday and looked for something negative to post? A poll from nearly three years ago is worthless.

Quote:
Nearly half of Israeli teens surveyed say they would refuse to evacuate West Bank settlements...


Quote:
Mar.11, 2010....The poll was commissioned last month by Maagar Mochot, an Israeli research institution, under the supervision of Prof. Yitzhak Katz. It took a sampling of 536 Jewish and Arab respondents between the ages of 15-18.
This age group comprises around 600,000 Jewish and non-Jewish teens. 536 is a 0.09% sampling of which Arab and non-Arab communities? Very easy to get a skewed poll depending on who is interpertsting it.

FWIW
Here's the Arab version of the Article that reports different numbers based on their perspective.

With information like this
Quote:
While 82% of religious students responded that they don't believe Arabs should be granted equal rights as Jews, 36% percent of seculars responded that they do not believe in equal rights for Arabs and Jews.
Tends me to make me believe that this poll was unbalanced and primarily taken in settler areas. Since Israel is mostly secular then by following that leg of the poll nearly 74% do believe in equal rights for all.

Oh yes! Three years is so long ago.....LOL

I'm sure Israeli's are so much more enlightened today.

Let's look at a more recent poll.

Oh look they want to deny Arabs in Israel the right to vote.

While antisemitism is a fringe mentality. Anti Arab bigotry is mainstream in Israel. Shame!

At the end of Sept/2012 Israel's population stood at 5,978,600. 503 interviewees is not most of the population.

BTW linking to a headline where the article is not readable unless one pays to read it, is rather worthless. But here is a link to the Wiki on the article, where others can link to information related it.
