Sixty-two percent (62%) of Republicans back Israel's decision to take military action against the Palestinians, but only half as many Democrats (31%) agree. A majority of Democrats (55%) say Israel should have tried to find a diplomatic solution first, a view shared by just 27% of Republicans.

Guess it’s a good thing for the people of Israel that American democrats don’t run their country.

Many Jews in America would support Hitler if he had a D after his name.

One would hope they’re among the 31% of Dems who dare to think that Israel has the right to defend itself.

Liberals first, Jews second. Their liberalism trumps everything else.

I’d wager that that’s about the same percentage of dems who would support the USA defending itself from attack. Peace at any price.

Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Quaeda; the Taliban, Islamic Jihad - all Muzzie terrorists! How come there are not, say, 5 Presbyterian terrorist groups? Or 5 Episcopalian ones? Just Muslims?

So why doesn’t the headline say: “62% of Republicans Back Israel Protecting Herself?”

That's right, it has nothing to do with Israel and everything to do with the idea that our enemies can be placated with diplomacy. Which is a far greater threat to the US than Israel.

This really is not a surprise. Most liberal Democrats also oppose gun ownership and the right of Americans to defend themselves in their own homes.
