Most of those rating numbers seem absurd.
How do they rate, know even, someone's emotinial tie. I don't know that Giuliani or Gingrich have such an emotional tie as compared to a practical one towards Israel.
And you're right that what Haaretz believes is good for Israel isn't nessesarily so.
I want to vote for the candidate who would get a zero for an active part in the "peace process". The "peace process", as understood by Haaretz, is never pro Israel.
That is the most puzzling and masochistic aspect of the Israeli left. Actively engaging the peace process only means twisting Israel's arm.
