CSM:

Two polls published in Israel today show 41-46 percent of Israelis back the Quartet's call for an Israeli settlement freeze in East Jerusalem — contrary to Netanyahu's claim of a consensus on the issue.
Can this mean that nearly half of the Israeli population is anti-Semitic? And, yes, Obama must be anti-Semetic. But there is good news in the land of the Bible. The number of sane people in Israel is not at all surpassed by the number insane people:
Another 56 percent questioned said they don't believe politicians who call Obama anti-Semitic or hostile to Israel, or who say he is "striving to topple Netanyahu."

On the whole, Obama's popularity may be declining in American public opinion, but a sweeping majority of Israelis think his treatment of this country is friendly and fair.


Peace be with you.
