POLL: U.S. SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL SOARING

Poll Finds U.S. Support for Israel Soaring (JTA/Jerusalem Post)
American public support for Israel in the face of its enemies is at a five-year high, a poll found. A new survey commissioned by the Israel Project showed that an average of 66 percent of Americans rate their feelings toward the Jewish state as "warm" or "very favorable," while 11 percent gave Iran a positive rating.

Asked about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, 65 percent of respondents said they support Israel, while 10 percent said they support the Palestinians. About three-quarters of those polled said the United States should not resume sending aid to the Palestinian Authority until the Hamas-led government "ends the culture of hate" and recognizes Israel.

Israel has a responsibility to it's citizens that does not afford them the luxury of second guessing Iran's intentions. If the western world cannot or will not come together to confront the Iranian manace by conventional means, Israel will have to preemptively stike Iran with nuclear weapons!The only realistic alternate outcome is the eventual nuclear destruction of Israel by Iran using Hamas or Hezbollah as a delivery system.
