Obama & America: Israelis Know The Difference...........from Dan Friedman

[This goes far to explain the panic attack suffered recently by the Friedman/Beinart Left. They know Israelis are becoming smarter, more traditional, prouder Jews and nationalists, and worst of all these “experts” have been dead wrong in public for over 20 years at least. Little wonder, like disappointed children, they’re throwing a tantrum, striking out and peeing in their pants. df]

Israelis feel good about America, increasingly negative on Obama, survey shows

91% believe US would come to Israel’s aid in time of existential crisis; slightly more believe Romney would better promote Israel’s interests than Obama

Israelis have an extremely positive attitude toward the United States, believing it to be a very firm ally, but a significantly larger number of Israelis have a negative attitude to US President Barack Obama than they had when last surveyed three years ago, according to a joint poll released Friday by the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies (BESA Center), the Bar-Ilan University Center for International Communication (CIC), and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

And more Israelis believe presidential challenger Mitt Romney would do a better job than Obama of promoting Israel’s interests.

Nearly 70 percent of Israelis surveyed expressed a positive attitude to the US, identifying America as a loyal ally. A vast majority of respondents, 91%, believed that if Israel was faced with a true existential threat, the US would come to its aid.

While these numbers are very close to the results of a similar poll conducted in 2009, the Israeli attitude towards Obama has taken a marked downturn since then.
