Poll: Americans Increasingly Back Israel Against Iran
(Jerusalem Post) Hilary Leila Krieger - Americans increasingly back the U.S. aiding Israel militarily should it come under attack from Iran after a strike on Tehran's nuclear facilities, according to a new poll by The Israel Project released on Wednesday. 71% said the U.S. should come to Israel's defense if Tehran fires on Israel, compared with 61% in a 2011 TIP poll. Conversely, 22% of those surveyed in November oppose such intervention, down from 33% in 2011. In addition, 57% said they thought the American government should oppose a UN resolution recognizing a Palestinian state without an agreement between the parties, while 27% said the U.S. should support such a resolution.
