The Israel Project checking American attitudes toward the Middle East finds that 56% of voters define themselves as “Israel supporters,” compared to 10% “Palestinian supporters.” Data from a national survey of 800 registered American voters conducted June 5-7 by Public Opinion Strategies has been released as The Israel Project: American Attitudes toward the Middle East.
Israel supporters outnumber self-described Palestinian supporters by a 5.6-to-1 ratio.

about land; 27% felt the opposite. 64% agreed that the conflict between Israel and the PA is about “ideology and religion,” and not Only 25% support a unilateral Palestinian Authority declaration of a state, while 57% oppose. If the UN General Assembly supports the PA in this matter, then the numbers change somewhat: 34% say a UN General Assembly vote to recognize a PA state will make an agreement with Israel more likely, while 50% said the opposite.
Not Supportive on Refugees
No matter how supportive of Israel they are, however, Americans do not appear to understand Israel’s fear of an Arab takeover of the Jewish state from within. Asked if they agree with Israel’s position that Arab refugees should live only in an Arab state, only 27% said they agreed – while 61% said they did not.
55% object to the Fatah-Hamas agreement because Hamas is backed by Iran and the agreement gives Hamas a bigger role among Palestinians. 28% are happy with the Fatah-Hamas agreement; 24% said Israel should work with the new Fatah-Hamas government, while 63% said Israel should not do so until Hamas is willing to recognize Israel and renounce violence.
Note:
Oh, Wow!
Does this mean the State Department will now remove the "Palestinian" Arab flag they have allowed to fly in Washington, DC since last summer? This administration has counted its chickens before they hatch - meaning, the Palestinians are not a "state, nation, country, they are Arabs and mostly, terrorists and yet, he allows them the privilege of flying a Palestinian flag in Washington! Despite the fact that letters were sent by Congressmen and women last year, requesting that he not give this privilege to the PA's.
Does this mean that Obama will stop sending aid and military training to the Palestinians and other nations i.e. Lebanon, that are using terrorist armies to hit Israel? Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.
And, maybe Obama et. al should stop promoting Islam through other federal programs, such as, NASA.
