FROM GALLUP, 2-24-10
SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL IN U.S. AT 63 PERCENT
by Lydia Saad
PRINCETON, NJ For the first time since 1991, more than 6 in 10 Americans 63% say their sympathies in the Middle East situation lie more with the Israelis than with the Palestinians. Fifteen percent side more with the Palestinians, down slightly from recent years, while a combined 23% favor both sides, favor neither side, or have no opinion.
The 63% sympathizing with Israel today is statistically unchanged from the 58% to 59% seen from 2006 to 2009; however, it is considerably higher than most of the previous readings on this Gallup measure since 1993. The trend includes two 38% readings in 1996 and 1997.

I didn't see this Gallup but it makes perfect sense. Zero's fanaticism, if we can survive it will prove to be our best ally.
