    Prime time TV sitcoms have their work cut out for them in the ratings wars this Fall. When the running mates are announced, the real fun starts.

    The majority of Americans favor Israel, including myself. Statistics show feelings of support for Israel is almost at a record high right now. :)

    Switzerland have an embassy in Israel
    Singapore have an embassy in Israel
    Philippines have an embassy in Israel
    Australia have an embassy in Israel
    Brazil have an embassy in Israel

    These countries are just some of the MANY that supports good relations and trade with Israel.

    These nations also condemn Israel's illegal activities.

    Their embassies are not in the Palestinian city of Jerusalem, but they are in Tel Aviv. Israel is not happy about this.

    Right. I think many people all around the world support Israel.

    I thought this was a nice video >

    Statistics indicate Christian fundamentalists are somewhere around 25%. So, it's not as if we can attribute majority support for Israel in America to that. And, there isn't really any "struggle" against Christian fundamentalists in the US that I'm aware of. We have freedom of religion.

    Globally, Israel is as popular as North Korea:
    "

    The
    2012 Country Ratings Poll, conducted by GlobeScan/PIPA for the BBC among 24,090 people around the world, and published on 10 May, “asks respondents to rate whether the influence of each of 16 countries and the EU is ‘mostly positive’ or ‘mostly negative.’”The press release accompanying the full report notes briefly that “The most negatively rated countries were, as in previous years, Iran (55% negative), Pakistan (51% negative), and Israel and North Korea (both 50% negative).”"

    Israel’s position deteriorated in the EU as well as in emerging powers:
    "In the EU countries surveyed, views of Israeli influence have hardened in Spain (74% negative ratings, up 8 points) and in France (65%, up 9 points) — while positive ratings remain low and steady. Negative ratings from the Germans and the British remain very high and stable (69% and 68%, respectively). In other Anglo-Saxon countries, views have worsened in Australia (65% negative ratings, up 7 points) and in Canada (59%, up 7 points)."
    BRICs view Israel negatively:

    "Negative attitudes have also increased among the Chinese, the Indians, and the Russians.
    In China, a 9-point drop in positive ratings (to 23%) makes the overall balance of views even more negative (23% positive vs 45% negative). In India, negative perceptions have gone up 11 points (to 29%), and overall opinion has shifted from being divided in 2011 (21% vs 18%) to leaning negative in 2012 (17% vs 29%). In Russia, public opinion has shifted from leaning positive in 2011 to being divided in 2012 (25% positive vs 26% negative)."

    54% of Americans would not vote for an atheist. America has a Christian fundamentalist problem.

    Link to what ?


    I'm not on drugs.

    Israel considers it's capital to be Jerusalem. The international community does not recognize Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel. That's why they put their embassies in Tel Aviv. Do I really need to explain why Israel is not happy that almost nobody has recognized it's capital?

    You know what would really be noteworthy, when 46% of Egypt, Lybia, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, etc. ... would show any such inclination. While you seek to show bias in America all you really do is cement just how much more open and accepting we are versus every Arab/Muslim nation on Earth.

    I can picture Mikael with his fingers in his ears and his eyes shut, shouting over and over, "Im not listening, Im not listening". Poor child must be under the impression the Palestinians have suddenly become more popular than Charles Manson.

    Hey Mikael, tell me again how you want Israel and Iran to take each other out!

    I don't see why it would be "noteworthy".

    Nobody expects you to. Self awareness is lost on the ignorant.

    America is biased. But I don't care about that. It's funny you say that America is open and accepting. The Arabs and Muslims had multicultural and multi-faith societies when you guys were going on nigger hunting and were discriminating against Jews. Being more tolerant and accepting are just one of the many things you learnt from the Muslims.

    That caption calls for a visual aid. Whats your preference?

    --1. A shot of gays hanging in public,
    --2. a woman being stoned, or
    --3. frothing-at-the-mouth islamists screaming and carrying posters demanding death to all {whatever}
    --4. All the above.

    Western civilization is based on Egyptian, Syrian, Iraqi, Persian and Islamic civilization. This is fact. Without these Middle Easterners (that you hate so much) you'd still be a caveman.
