(Stand for Israel - International Fellowship of Christians and Jews) - According to a new poll of American attitudes toward Israel conducted by the Tarrance Group, 54% of Americans support Israel and its policies and actions toward Palestinian terrorism; just 29% are opposed. Jews are the most unified in their support of Israel (85%), while support drops to 46% among Democrats and 45% among self-identified liberals. Support for Israel among Republicans is 67%, and 61% among self-identified conservatives. Some 62% of conservative Christians say they support Israel, and among conservative Christian men this figure jumps to 77%. Among Catholics and Protestants, support for Israel exceeds 50%. Of those individuals who are "anti-Israel," three-quarters (76%) believe that the Israelis and the Palestinians are equally to blame for the current conflict.
