Plurality of Americans favor immediate ceasefire


http://www.pollingreport.com/israel.htm

How many American political leaders do? How often do 99% of political leaders oppose a plurality of voters?

1. I'm Surprised More People Don't Want Peace
But if you look at the poll in toto it's clear where American sympathies lie.

3. A plurality of the American people favored stem cell research too
but that wasn't the policy that our government elected to push, was it? No one up in DC really gives a rat's patootie what the American people think.

4. Major difference IMO
There are plenty of pro-stem cell leaders in American politics. How many major leaders in America, how many members of Congress, other top leaders such as Howard Dean and Wesley Clark, have called for a ceasefire? The lockstep thinking on Israel among our leaders is disturbing.
