Obama Foreign Policy E-group moderator "Special Interests" cause America to support Israel
The following is from mlevin49@yahoo.com moderator of Foreign Policy Wonks e-group for Obama
Let's look at broader measures of what "Democrats" think, which is a truer representation than we get in our one-sided Congress - from Rasmussen's poll a couple of weeks ago:
"While 75% of Republicans say Israel is an ally of the United States, just 55% of Democrats agree. Seven percent (7%) of Democrats say Israel is an enemy of America, but only one percent (1%) of Republicans say the same. For 21% of Republicans, Israel is somewhere in between, and 28% of Democrats agree.
Just over half of adults (51%) fear Israel’s actions will cause more terrorism against the United States, with 17% saying that is Very Likely to be the case.. Nine percent (9%) believe that future terrorist attacks on America are not at all likely because of Israel’s attacks on Gaza this week.
Those who say they have followed the news out of the Gaza Strip Very Closely are slightly more concerned about increased terrorism at home, with 20% saying it is Very Likely as a result of Israel’s actions."

I'm in that 28%. It could be an ally if its supporters weren't acting in a way that reduces US national security.
Looking at 55% of Dems who call Israel an ally, and 99% of Dems in Congress that do so sets up an interesting question - why?

I'm just going to ask why Obama's people see someone who thinks the Jews control congress in charge of one of their groups?
