Haaretz:

Some 27 percent of Israelis believe that U.S. President Barack Obama is anti-Semitic, according to a Haaretz-Dialog poll conducted this week. Anpther 56 percent questions said they don't believe politicians who call Obama anti-Semitic or hostile to Israel, or who say he is "striving to topple Netanyahu." On the whole, Obama's popularity may be declining in American public opinion, but a sweeping majority of Israelis think his treatment of this country is friendly and fair. Advertisement The poll, which was conducted Tuesday and Wednesday and supervised by Professor Camil Fuchs, comes after reports of a crisis in diplomatic relations due to Israel's announcement during a visit by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden that it will build 1,600 housing units in East Jerusalem.

The Poll itself:

Do you support Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's decision to continue construction in Jerusalem ?
Yes, 62% No 26%

Do you think that Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision will lead to more or less pressure from the United States ?
More 61%, less 9%, same 21%

Do you think that President Obama is:
pro-Arab 42%, pro-Israel 9% or neutral 34%

Some claim that if Israel were to withdraw to the '67 lines - including leave the Golan - it would enjoy peace for generations since the Arabs would no longer have any claims against Israel. Do you think that this is a naive
or simplistic view or a reasonable and correct assessment?
Naive and simplistic 82% Reasonable and correct 8%

The idea that Obama is antisemitic?

  • Jeremiah Wright (20 years in a pew for Obama)
  • Samantha Power appointed after she urged US forces be sent to invade Israel and protect the west bank
  • Genl Merrill McPeak appointed after claiming the reason there is no peace in the middle east because of 'certain groups' in NY and Miami
  • Praising those who support Buchanan's ideas as valuable teachers and mentors (Zbig)
The idea that he is not?

  • Axelrod
  • Emanuel
But of course, to those two we can say ...Finkelstein, Chomsky, Judt, Zinn

It is hard to accept the idea that behind what Obama does is some sick ignorant inner compulsion. But that it can be questioned OBJECTIVELY by his appointments and friends in a disturbance in the FORCE.


Personally, I think his running to quell disquiet by 'allies' who keep telling him if Netanyahu gets in a pic with Abbas shaking hands over a peace of paper in front of the White House, the world will be Happy Madison's HAPPY PLACE is behind his behavior, but in the end that amounts to the same thing, since it is all a delusion. I also think he HE believes Israel is not a solution to problem in the world, but THE BIGGEST problem in the world.
