Sure, my zionist/adl/agent-of-a-foreign-government father opposes the war in Iraq, but he'd jump for joy if the U.S. bombed Iran back to the stone age.
That's not anti-war, he just thinks AIPAC and others screwed up a long-term strategy ... severely. Albeit, there may be a rift within the disporia of jewish nationalist organizations regarding strategy. It's ALL about Iran, and if you follow the history, it always was, with Saddam Hussein's government as proxy army/muscle in the region. It almost worked too! Gallup should have asked the Jewish community in the US if it would be OK to turn Iran into a sheet of glass (environmental benefit, contains the spills) with our oil underneath . lcm Yoshie Furuhashi wrote:
<http://galluppoll.com/content/Default.aspx?ci=26677> February 23, 2007 Among Religious Groups, Jewish Americans Most Strongly Oppose War Opposition goes beyond Jewish Americans' political affiliations by Jeffrey M. Jones GALLUP NEWS SERVICE PRINCETON, NJ -- An analysis of Gallup Poll data collected since the beginning of 2005 finds that among the major religious groups in the United States, Jewish Americans are the most strongly opposed to the Iraq war. Catholics and Protestants are more or less divided in their views on the war, while Mormons are the most likely to favor it. Those with no religious affiliation also oppose the war, but not to the same extent that Jewish people do. The greater opposition to the war is not simply a result of high Democratic identification among U.S. Jews, as Jews of all political persuasions are more likely to oppose the war than non-Jews who share the same political leanings. For this analysis, Gallup combined 13 surveys from the last two-plus years that measured both support for the Iraq war (using Gallup's "mistake for the U.S. to send troops to Iraq" question) and respondent religious affiliation, for a combined sample of more than 12,000 interviews. Across the time period these 13 surveys covered, an average of 52% of Americans opposed the war by saying the United States made a mistake to invade Iraq, and 46% favored the war by saying it did not make a mistake. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
