Dem Repub split on Israel

An April 2009 poll by Zogby International asked about U.S. policy: Ten
percent of Obama voters and 60 percent of voters for Republican John McCain
wanted the president to support Israel. Get tough with Israel? Eighty
percent of Obama voters said yes and 73 percent of McCain voters said no.
Conversely, 67 percent of Obama voters said yes and 79 percent of McCain
voters said no to Washington engaging with Hamas. And 61 percent of Obama
voters endorsed a Palestinian "right of return," while only 21 percent of
McCain voters concurred.



While there are some Jews who still are grasping at straws and trying to
create the illusion that President Obama is a friend of Israel, former White
House spokesman Ari Fleischer offers a fair but frank assessment of
President Obama and his obvious disdain for Israel. Here is the link:
