Jews are once again overwhelmingly throwing their support behind a blatantly antisemitic leader. Israel was a nation born with the motto of Never Again! It will die with the epitaph Aw Jeez not this crap again!

Ashkenazi Jews are very similar in their beliefs whether living in the U.S. or Israel.

"Oh sure. We can trust time to take a fair and honest poll."

Read the story. Time didn't do the polling. Good grief.

Reflexive posting without reading the story just might make you look like an idiot.

Possible. Mathews just called them racists. Works like a charm. “No really, I love the man, even if he gets me and my country wiped off the map”.

But a Dialog survey of 499 people on Wednesday and Thursday showed that seven out of 10 Israelis share a favorable view. The poll had a margin of error of 4.3% points.

Who the hell is "Dialog"?

Below is the latest Haaretz poll of 449 “people” in Israel, read it carefully, it’s not good news at all for Obama, all spin, only 18% of respondents think Obama is “friendly” to Israel. What are TIME/AP thinking, we’re that stupid?

There was a link between Marxism and ZIonism way back in the 19th century. People like Trotsky were Zionists. Israel was founded as a socialist state, complete with communes (kubbutzim). The Left turned its back on Israel when religious Jews began to migrate there.

I always wonder, of course, about the accuracy of polls. Questions can always be framed so that there is no way to really give an unfavorable answer.

Having said that, I also know there are more than a handful of self-hating Jews in the world. (Of course, that's not limited to Jews, but you know what I mean.)

This new poll is a push poll, meant not to estimate public opinion, but to mold public opinion toward the outcome of the poll takers and their fellow traveling sycophants.

Israel chooses John McCain over Barack Obama in the US presidential elections, a survey conducted by the TNS Teleseker polling agency found.

The Republican nominee defeated his Democratic opponent by a margin of over 12% among the adult Jewish population in the State.

Iran’s Vote
Larijani: Iran prefers Obama / AFP
Iranian parliament speaker says his country is leaning towards Democratic candidate in US presidential election ‘because he is more flexible and rational’
Full Story
Ynet obtained the results of the poll, ordered by the Rabin Center for Israel Studies and conducted among 500 Israelis aged 18-65, in preparation for a special debate on the US elections and their repercussions on the country’s foreign policy in the Middle East, to take place Monday.

The survey found that given the right to vote in the US, 46.4% of Israelis would vote for the Republican nominee, John McCain. Thirty-four percent would vote for Democratic nominee Barack Obama, and 18.6% remain undecided.

Almost half of those polled (48.6%) believe McCain would better impact Israel, while 31.5% thought the country would better benefit from Obama’s leadership. Just over 5% believe the candidates would have the same effect on Israel, while 14.2% remain undecided.

This propoganda story from TIME confirms my view.

That is one of the exact same polls cited in the Time story.

The first line in the story you linked reads...

"Most Israelis regard US President Barack Obama as fair in his dealings with their country, despite a simmering diplomatic row between the two countries, according to a poll published on Friday in the Haaretz newspaper.

Did the Jews support Hitler in the early days? I have never researched the issue, but I am sure some here would know if they did and at what point they decided he might not be the best choice.

Obama’s attack ‘out of proportion,’ Israeli polls say
By GIL HOFFMAN
19/03/2010 06:43

Majority of Israelis also feel administration’s reaction harmed peace process.
Talkbacks (1)

Three-quarters of Israelis believe that US President Barack Obama’s administration’s attack on Israel for building in Jerusalem was disproportionate, according to two polls released Thursday.

The polls were taken after a week of headlines about outrage from top Obama administration officials about a low-level Interior Ministry planning committee announcing plans to build 1,600 housing units in Jerusalem’s Ramat Shlomo neighborhood during the visit of US Vice President Joe Biden.

A Ma’agar Mohot poll of 511 respondents, representing a statistical sample of the population, found that 75 percent of Israelis who expressed an opinion believed the Obama administration had overreacted, while 25% said it had not blown the issue out of proportion.

The poll, which has a margin of error of 4.5%, was sponsored by Dr. Aaron Lerner’s Independent Media Review Analysis organization.

A separate poll of 483 Israelis taken by Shvakim Panorama for Israel Radio found that 74% of Israelis believed the Obama administration had exaggerated in its response, while 17% believed its behavior was justified. The rest did not know or did not express an opinion. That poll also had a 4.5% margin of error.

The Ma’agar Mohot poll also asked whether the American administration’s criticism of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s government helped or harmed the peace process. Among those who gave an opinion, 63% said it harmed the peace process, 31% said it would have no impact, and just six percent said it would help.

The numbers were more stark among voters on the Left side of the political map. The view that Obama had harmed chances for peace was shared by 82% of Labor voters and 70% of people who voted Kadima.

When asked whether they were satisfied with the Obama administration’s efforts to prevent Iran’s nuclearization, 67% of respondents said no, 9% said yes, and 24% said it was so-so. Only 1% of Israelis described themselves as “very satisfied” with Obama’s handling of the Iranian situation.

"It’s horse hockey poll."

Are you familiar with the three pollsters that are cited in the story? They are Maagar Mohot, Dahaf Research Institute and Dialog

Are they legitimate pollsters, or something else. And if not, what pollsters should be watching?
