It's not paranoia when they're really after you

Some interesting statistics from the latest monthly Tammy Steinmetz 'peace index' published by Tel Aviv University.
Fifty-six percent of Jewish Israelis believe that "the whole world is against us," according to a recent Peace Index survey published on Thursday.

...

Many Israeli Jews believe that the world will continue to be critical of Israel with 77% saying that it does not make difference what Israel does and how far it will go on the Palestinian issue.

...

A small majority (54%) of the Jewish public believe that Israel is completely or moderately isolated, this is compared with 46% who believe that Israel is not alone.
And finally a question that shows that Israelis are smarter than Peter Beinart.
When asked why young Jews in the Diaspora become distanced from Israel, 49% attributed a strong influence to the general weakening of Jewish identity among young people in the Diaspora. Israel's policy on the Palestinian issue was considered the least influential factor with only 22% of respondents saying that it had an influence.
Maybe Israeli Jews are pretty smart after all.
