"two-thirds

(66%) of Americans think the United States should

Authors, bloggers, please feel free to make note of these observations in your travels.




It is important to note the implications of these findings, and what the implications are with respect to the propaganda that 'America supports Israel'.



Also note the findings are not reflected by our representatives on Capitol Hill; the vast majority of those therein are staunchly pro-Israel evidently in contradiction to how Americans really feel.
