Is The Democratic Party Turning Anti-Israeli?

Joseph Farah reports:

I was struck by the results of an L.A. Times poll on Americans’ views about the conflict in Lebanon published last week.

This was the way the Times reporters wrote the story: “Most Americans consider Israel’s bombing campaign in Lebanon justified, but they are divided about what role the United States should play in the crisis and how closely the nation should align itself with the Jewish state, a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.”

Let’s look at the numbers. The poll finds 59 percent of Americans think Israel’s actions are justified. But only 49 percent of Democrats do – and nearly half of those consider Israel’s actions excessively harsh.

By nearly a 2-to-1 ratio, however, Republicans believe Israel’s actions are justified.

Overall, 50 percent said the U.S. should continue to align with Israel, while 44 percent backed a more neutral position. But Democrats supported neutrality 54 percent to 39 percent. Republicans supported alignment with Israel by a margin of 64 percent to 29 percent.

No word yet from many Hollywood Liberals on this one.
