4% of Israeli Jews: Obama pro-Israel (The numbers are getting smaller by the day)
American Thinker ^ | 8/27/2009 | Mladen Andrijasevic

The numbers are getting smaller by the day. Here is a report from the Jerusalem Post:

The number of Israelis who see US President Barack Obama's policies as pro-Israel has fallen to four percent, according to a Smith Research poll taken this week on behalf of The Jerusalem Post.

Fifty-one percent of Jewish Israelis consider Obama's administration more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israel, according to the survey, while 35% consider it neutral and 10% declined to express an opinion. The poll of 500 people representing a statistical model of the Jewish Israeli population had a margin of error of 4.5%.

A much-cited Post poll published on June 19 that put the first figure at 6% had been cited by top officials in both the White House and the Prime Minister's Office as the catalyst for recent American efforts to improve the American-Israeli relationship. But the new poll proves that those efforts have not improved Obama's reputation among Israelis.

Should this be surprising? Not at all. In his Ramadan Message the President made these remarks which I can only characterize as Orwellian:

These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.

I guess living on the front line makes you smarter than the meat heads we have in the US.

A Jewish friend of mine just got back from Israel, and says the whole place is wallpapered with this poster.

Aren't there 4% or so of Israeli citizens who are Arabs?

What counts is Americans and Americans that are the same religion as those people in that country, support President Obama and his party.

politically, 4% is statistically insignificant except in a close race.

Geez, as liberal as Israeli's are, that's a real statement.

Obama has stated that is a Christian and even said that he prays to Jesus. Apparently this isn't believable to a lot of people.

Maybe because his being a rabid abortion supporter conflicts with Christian beliefs?
