A small silver lining

Interesting poll from Rasmussen on American attitudes towards  Gaza. Bottom line:  while there’s somewhat more support for Israel than the Palestinians, popular opinion is much more evenly divided than you would think from watching the TV news, reading op-eds in the newspapers, or listening to Congressmen expound on how Israel must  do whatever it wants […]

Interesting poll from Rasmussen on American attitudes towards  Gaza. Bottom line:  while there’s somewhat more support for Israel than the Palestinians, popular opinion is much more evenly divided than you would think from watching the TV news, reading op-eds in the newspapers, or listening to Congressmen expound on how Israel must  do whatever it wants to “protect” itself. I don’t know where the substantial minority  that thinks Israel is blatantly over-reacting gets its views: they can’t all be reading Phil Weiss’s blog and Robert Fisk in The Independent. Still the poll is cheering for those who want Obama to actually change things: the Democratic electorate  (and the president-elect hopefully as well) are way ahead of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
