Bush, are nearly the opposite. According to last month's poll, 88% of Israelis considered his administration pro-Israel.
Magox Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Only 6 percent of Jewish Israelis consider the views of American President Barack Obama's administration pro-Israel, according to a new Jerusalem Post-sponsored Smith Research poll. The poll, which has a margin of error of 4.5%, was conducted among a representative sample of 500 Israeli Jewish adults this week, following Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's speech in which he expressed his support for a demilitarized Palestinian state. Another 50% of those sampled consider the policies of Obama's administration more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israeli, and 36% said the policies were neutral. The remaining 8% did not express an opinion. The numbers were a stark contrast to the last poll published May 17, on the eve of the meeting between Netanyahu and Obama at the White House. In that poll, 31% labeled the Obama administration pro-Israel, 14% considered it pro-Palestinian and 40% said it was neutral. The other 15% declined to give an opinion. Shocking

I wonder if/when obama will let them be attacked? I'd say the majority in Israel thinks so after that poll, wouldn't you? Also the Jews in this country have to be wondering why they voted for this empty suit any more, so much for the Motherland. Then again nothing surprises me anymore when it come to obama.
Booster4324 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Nice poll, 500 people huh? One wonders about the rest of their methodology. It wouldn't shock me though if his numbers plunged.
Wacka Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Israel is much, much smaller. 500 is like 5000 polled in the US
ieatcrayonz Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Israel is much, much smaller. 500 is like 5000 polled in the US Israel is small so 500 people are like 5000? Do they have other super powers?

Booster4324 Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 So I guess what this article says has no meaning. Retard. Dont PM me any more. I assure you, not an issue. In any case, just commenting on the fact that number is awfully low. It wouldn't shock me as I said.
/dev/null Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 What % of Americans give a sh*t what Israel thinks of the US President?
Jim in Anchorage Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 In 2000, Iran, which was the world's fourth largest producer of crude oil, averaged about 3.72 million barrels per day (Mbbl/d). Average crude production had been 3.56 Mbbl/d in 1999 and 3.63 Mbbl/d in 1998. At the end of 2000, Iran had the second largest natural gas reserves (23 trillion cubic meters) and the fifth largest crude oil reserves [89.7 billion barrels (Gbbl)] in the world according to the Oil & Gas Journal (2000b). These figures apparently did not include 1999 or 2000 Iranian reserve additions. Petroleum continued to provide the bulk of Iran's foreign exchange Yet Obama OKs nuclear power for"energy needs" Your damn right if I lived in Israel I would be worried about the mindset of the US goverment.

No, no, no...you misunderstood what he said. Stand by. You'll soon be corrected, called an idiot, and allowed to live another day.
Magox Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 what this poll tells me is that there are far fewer gullible people in Israel as there are in the US
Wacka Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 I assure you, not an issue. In any case, just commenting on the fact that number is awfully low. It wouldn't shock me as I said. Israel's population is about 7.4 million. about 40 times smaller than the US's 300 million. So 500 interviewed there is equivalent to 20,000 in the us. I haven't found #s , but that is far more than most polls in the US.
erynthered Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 I assure you, not an issue. In any case, just commenting on the fact that number is awfully low. It wouldn't shock me as I said. Too funny. I'm shocked at your ignorance. Then again............No...I'm not.

Bush, are nearly the opposite. According to last month's poll, 88% of Israelis considered his administration pro-Israel. I've seen a similiar poll that Obama had over 90% approval in Venezuala. Gee, I wonder why. Of course the far-left mainstream media doesn't report on that!
StupidNation Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Can anyone point out to me the oath the presidents take to protect other countries under the law? Somehow protecting other countries, and it doesn't matter the name, is our job? Can someone explain how it's worth American lives and money to do so? I would only find your answer worthwhile, if you are pro-war, to explain how you donate to the gov't, more than your forced taxes, to fund wars. I've never met a person who gave to the gov't to fund wars out of their own desire that has nothing to do with the welfare of our country, and in this case has done nothing but hurt our relations with the Middle East.

If I live in a town of 3,000 people and I poll 1 person, by your logic I'm using a valid sample size because that's the proportional equivalent of 100,000 if my town was the United States.

He's actually got a pretty good grasp of statistics. He's just got a shockingly bad grasp of reality.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Yes, but is he pro Burkina Faso? What do they think of him there?
Wacka Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 You don't have a very good grasp on statistics do you?\ I never took a stats class in college (It was a joke at UB) and I have a better grasp of it than someone who went to Cornell. And to DC Tom- FU!
