"The Maariv poll suggested that more than 46 percent of Israelis still support a peace deal that includes the return of almost all of the war-won territory in the West Bank."
Then how did you get such an extremist government, Israelis?
Your elections also rigged?
And nothing has changed in the relationship, has it, readers?
"Israelis are weary over world standing; Poll finds divide over settlements" by Aron Heller, Associated Press | March 30, 2010
JERUSALEM — Nearly one out of every two Israelis thinks the country’s international standing is poor after Israel’s most serious crisis with the United States in decades, according to a poll published yesterday.
Finally waking up, are they?

They had to start you off with a lie, huh?
As Jews around the world were making last-minute preparations for Passover — which marks the biblical story of the Hebrews’ exodus from Egypt — a poll in the Maariv daily indicated increasing concern after the open rift between the governments of the world’s two largest Jewish centers....
Thus the term USrael.
Cannibalize yourselves and do us all a favor.
Asked how they would define Israel’s international standing, only 14 percent of Israelis said it was good, 37 percent called it reasonable, and more than 48 percent called it bad. The TNS/Teleseker survey questioned 500 people and had a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points.
Israel has been under fire internationally since the three-week Gaza war — which began in winter 2008 — with a UN commission accusing it of war crimes.
And that case has gone nowhere, of course.
So U.S. not going to use the veto next time?
Israel’s relations with allies such as Turkey, Britain, and Australia have also faltered.
Well, that's what happens when you steal citizen identities and give them to Mossad assassins to kill people.
Relations with the US administration has reached such a low point, said an editorial in the daily Haaretz, that Washington has demanded written Israeli commitments, because “the spoken word has no meaning.’’
Bibi came over here without a slip of paper. What does that tell you?
And it looks like Washington has finally awoken, huh?
I certainly feel that way about anything Israel says.
The poll was released as Israelis were cleaning their houses, cars, and offices, and cooking furiously to get ready for the weeklong holiday, in which leavened bread is forbidden and unleavened bread called matzo is eaten.
The holiday began last night with a traditional Seder meal. Families typically gather and retell the story of the exodus.
The biblical story recounts that God killed the first-born of Egypt after the pharaoh refused to release the children of Israel from bondage, but “passed over’’ the houses of the Hebrews.
After that divine blow, the pharaoh gave in and let the Hebrews go. They were then given the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai and wandered in the desert for 40 years before arriving in the Land of Israel, according to the Bible.
The tradition of eating matzo comes from the Bible’s account that the Jews left Egypt in such a hurry that there was no time for the bread to rise. It is considered the bread of the poor, meant to remind Jews of their ancestors’ hardships. Leavened bread is banned and burned ceremonially before the holiday starts.
Though only about a quarter of Israel’s Jews are Orthodox, most do not eat bread during Passover and hold the traditional meal on the first night of the holiday, according to surveys.
Like American newspaper readers give a crap?
The Maariv poll suggested that more than 46 percent of Israelis still support a peace deal that includes the return of almost all of the war-won territory in the West Bank. Just under 39 percent said they were opposed to such a deal and 15 percent did not respond.
Why didn't the AmeriKan jewspaper highlight that result?
--more--"
And deservedly so for what they have done.
They can forget about ever winning me back.
