ABC poll: Most Americans want U.S. to stay out of Israeli-Palestinian talks

75% of Americans can not find Israel on a map of the middle east. Cnn and National Geographic both done polls with same results. Yet over 60% are more sympathetic to something they have little knowledge of. What is scariest is how much Americans spend on arms and how willing they are to go to war with so little information.

Obama's reelection (based on his statements that Israel must stop Settlement construction) indicate that the ABC poll is complete bullshit. On the other hand, Obama's *acts* once elected have been overwhelmingly biased in favor of Israel, particularly at the UN and UNSC. It's a shame the man can't seem to correlate his mouth and his hand that issues those vetoes at the UN. We voted for Obama's words. He should remember that. In office, Obama has generally shown his words to be lies.

Middle East poll: Most people of the MIddle East and those Israelis who want peace with the Palestinians and the Arab world want America to stay out of the Middle East altogether.

I don't see why Americans should support Palestinians. I remember them dancing in the streets and celebrating the terrorists attacks on September 11.

Now,please stop sending my tax$$ to the spoiled child too.

Look at the savings! How many billions of dollars have gone to Israel since the signature of the Camp David Accord? All that money could have been put to good use supporting our own children, medical needs, infrastructure, education, and our own senior citizens. Since the Camp David Accord Israel has abused in many ways the friendship extended by the people of US. It is because of the support we give to Israel that the International Community has ostracized/excluded us. We have lost our influence in the world, have been attacked and ignored. Great friends we have in Israel!

Unless this poll was taken in Synagogues and Christian Conservatives churches, this poll is grossly skewed. Most of the minorities and Catholics, and liberals in the States support the Palestinians. But this poll is directed at President Obama to warn him against pressuring Israel to end settlements and compromise for the sake of peace. The result is more of the same; no action and the status quo prevails. So much of free press in the US.

Bipartisan support in Congress to Israel , already show traditional unbreakable bonds between this two countries, as a friends and Alleys. Obama’s Adm. did more for State of Israel then any other USA Adm. before: over $ 3 billion PER year, including $ 250 million for Iron Dome missile system and “Obama restored Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge ( QME) with advance weaponry”… Two State solution with Palestine is reality: everybody agree that status quo is unacceptable, most people on both side want peace… To me, Israel-Palestine issue is Arab- Israel issue, too: Jerusalem should be “ open” town under UN with TRIPLE security ( J/P/UN); but, TRIPLE security must be on West Bank border toward Jordan, in Gaza toward Egypt and on Golan Heights toward Syria (J/S/UN), too. I believe that the most important for Israel is to get full international recognition of there borders and that Jewish people live in PERMANENT peace, security and prosperity.

I suppose the real question is what do most Israelis think? In my opinion, I feel America should support Israel without sticking our noses into their business. Israel needs to know that they have our support, but not to use this support as leverage in any negotiations. If this sounds like a cop-out, that's because it is. But for too long it seems the US has been trying to dictate policy to the world. Not wishing for isolationism, but it's about time we stayed on the sidelines for a change.

No surprise there. Americans will always support aggressors against the repressed, unless we ourselves are attacked.

Same poll entity that has demonstrated error after error and makes a politically timed headline? In my area of the city, everybody is sick of supporting a 20th century religious colony. Give the land back to the Arabs and return our tax dollars.

It would be nice if Americans were to mind their own bussiness as they cause uproar wherever they go

It would be nice world wide if Americans were to mind their own bussiness as wherever they go ,uprises start

Next the aid will be an issue for americans who are feeling the pangs of hunger while Israelis are pampered.

ABC Polls find that most Americans have an IQ below 90 and aren't qualified to vote.

Do Americans really support their government borrowing money from one government (China) to give to other governments (Israel, Egypt, Pakistan, etc...) and do Americans support going to war for Israel? The results are a forgone conclusion and that's why those questions are never put to the American public by large polling companies! Notice I used "large" and not "credible" when describing the polling companies who do these propaganda polls!

And at the same time STOP bank rolling the Jewish state...

Our President is incompetent and impotent. He's good at running his mouth, that's it. You probably have enough talkers there.

and understand the true history and what a democracy Israel is and how much she helps the world and the USA, when they really look at it and the cult of hate adopted by the Palestinian Arab leadership it becomes so so clear that support for Israel is support for truth and everything good in this world. israel just developed technology to help the blind in addition to all its other inventions to help this planet. In the fight between good and evil, the Pal/Israel conflict is set up to test humanity to see truth. Israel and the hate thrown at her illuminates for all thinking good human beings what evil looks like and how Israel is there to save the planet for the same forces that want to destroy her wish to destroy all of free spirit humanity. Thank you Israel. We Americans are more and more aware of your destiny and sacrifice for all of the planet. The US should stay out of the talks because the Pal Arab leadership will have to make a choice between theatrics or truth. Either they will give up their hatred and lead their people to peace or just say no. Either way it is better than what Obama and the US govt has provided since Oslo

It is an American made bought and paid for bulldozer that bulldozes down their homes. There are Americans like Rachel Corrie that are outraged at the Israeli durtying of the American name. We are players in that conflict and it got us attacked on 9/11. I could go on.

Maybe it was a must to enter WWII otherwise we'd be speaking German or Japanese, but why do we have to send out sons' blood to every part of the earth everytime two opposing third-parties/third-world countries have feel a need to start killing each other?

Someone should share the poll results with the antisemitic Marxists in the White House.

the americans are some of the least political or historical savy people on the surface of the earth. So yes, little wonder they would support the land stealers.
