The proportion of Democrats who sympathize more with Israel than with Palestinians in the Mideast conflict dropped ten points this year to 48 percent, according to a new poll by Gallup.

The polling company suggested a link to tensions between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu over the Iran nuclear threat.

In addition, the percentage of Democrats viewing Israel favorably also dropped—by 14 points—over the past year, from 74 percent to 60, the poll found.

By contrast Republican sympathy for Israel over the Palestinians rose to 83 percent, continuing a trend that has risen from the low 50s in the late-1990s. Only in its 2010 poll did Gallup record a higher GOP sympathy for Israel, at 85 percent. …

Reno’s a troll. Not worth the time, but perhaps worth the zot.

It seemed even as recently as the first half of the 2000s the one thing you could say about the Democrats is that at the very least they understood the principles behind supporting Israel as a military ally as much as the Republicans. Now you can’t even say that; perhaps they are trying to cozy up to Obama’s cronies?

Democrats are an interesting breed of Animal.

They would put all of us Conservative types into Reeducation Camps if they could get away with it, so this Poll doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Now, where is the guy that will Poll me about Democrats, Liberals and Progressives?

i agree.

the take=over of the D party apparatus was, naturally, focussed on the top, the DNC and in lining up IslamoNazi/communist/enabling candidates for the top level jobs whereever possible. That they had essentially unlimited funding (and they’d prepared literally hundreds of hidden channels to deploy it all).... certainly helped them seize control of our republic. Money talks, bs walks.

It is curious how the commies and Islamics have been able to hang together for these past 6+ years. they share only one thing really, the desire to destroy the American republic and subjugate the American people to some form of dictatorship.
Obama represents both conspirator groups, of course, and he’s doing that job rather well. One of these days, though, that schitzoid conspiracy has to fall apart..(if only because one group will want to seize control entirely for itself) .That will be an interest spectacle to see.

The pic is linked to it's source. I usually do that. In this case, the source is so from-outer-space that I call attention to it as a novelty. Straight out of "Conspiracy Theory".

The Bibi speech is a no-win proposition for everyone but Obama.

Demon Rats have always been anti-Semites. They’re just more BOLD about it now that they have a Dear Reader who gives them cover....along with the media.

Yet, US Jews will give near-unanimous support to DemocRATs forever and anon.

Israel can thank the U.S. media for that decline.

“The democrats are so close to realizing their nazi dreams they can practically taste the ashes.”

That deserves repeating.

People better get their heads out of their butts and realize the democrats aren’t trying to take the country to communism but Nazism.

How does something “drop” from zero? Democrat “sympathy” for the Jews has always been at the bottom. When it comes to the Jews, Democrats are right down there in the slime at the bottom of the barrel with the Nazis and the KKK.

So you are okay with Iran having the bomb? That is not the issue and no I am not. That said, I do not favor Boehner's idiotic move to bring a foreign leader to the US to trash our policy. Very bad move.
