(IsraelNN.com) Most Israelis do not believe that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu should buckle to pressure by U.S. President Barack Obama to freeze all construction in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. A poll conducted this week by the Ma'agar Mochot (Brain Trust) survey firm showed that a decisive majority of the Israeli public believes there is no need to give in to America's demands.
Of the 503 respondents to the survey, 56 percent said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu does not need to agree to the construction freeze, while 37 percent said he needs to give in. Another seven percent were unsure.
Respondents who defined themselves as religiously observant were the most likely to say that American demands can safely be ignored. Ninety-seven percent of religious respondents said Netanyahu does not need to accept U.S. demands, but only 42 percent of non-observant respondents said the same.
This is good news. Clearly, Israel is putting more trust in the God who gave them the land than the false messiah who wants to take it away.
You really are amazing. I know you hate Obama. Yes Steve I did use the word "hate." He is not a messiah. I disagree with him on abortion, gun conrol, and some other issues as well. People like you and Sean Hannity on the right keep attacking the president on a daily basis. Nothing he does is right like bailing out the banks, yet I never really heard much from you or Sean when George Bush started all of this.
ReplyDeleteOn the left, you have people like Keith Olbermann who on a nightly basis defend the president and he attacks anyone who dares challenges the president. During the Bush years, he would attack President Bush on a nightly basis, which is the same thing you are doing with President Obama. It was wrong of Mr. Olbermann to do it every night on President Bush and it is wrong of you to do it on a daily basis against President Obama.
If you want to criticize President Obama you have every right to do so, but stick to the issues and when you call him names it is an attack whether you want to admit it or not.
