...BUT...more importantly...READ THE PEW STUDY (.pdf)...in a small section, it asks respondents about whether they believe the land was given to Israel by God. Additionally it asks about west bank settlements interference with the peace process.
It appears the inferences referenced by this WAPO blogger were either from another unnamed "study", OR fabricated extrapolations allegedly derived from the Pew data.
Please...read.
I'm beginning to believe that you don't trust anybody or anything. I read a little bit of the study, I'm not going to read all of it. I don't have that sort of time nor do I have the desire. Like all news articles, I take it with a grain of salt. Nothing, ever, at full face value.
However, given the religious nature of the study, what is wrong with asking respondents whether they believe the land was given by God? That's often cited as a reason for Israel to exist. They are the chosen people. They were given that land (fought for it). I don't see any problem with those questions. They are important questions as they pertain to the peace between Israel and Palestine.
WAPO extrapolated from "birthright" questions and spun them into an article stating Jewish support for a two-state solution.
That is a fabricated lie.
And, please, Ibanez...stop adding your "Tman predeliction" remarks. You really don't know me. My support of a strong, conservative, State of Israel came about after decades of study and discussion...not meme-ish anti-Semitism.
