41% of Israelis believe only a military strike will stop Iran
I'm actually surprised the percentage is this low. If you had asked me to guess what percentage of Israelis believe that a military strike is the only way to stop Iran, I'd have guessed 60-65%. It turns out that it's only 41%. Forty-one percent of the public in Israel is convinced that only a military attack will prevent Iran from producing a nuclear weapon, according to a Maagar Mohot (Think Tank) organization survey, published in Friday's Ma'ariv daily. Twent-two percent felt that international sanctions and pressure will do the trick.It sounds like there's going to be a war, with the only question being who the participants will be.
In the Jewish sector, 40 percent thought that Israel must attack the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities by itself, compared to 35 percent who felt the job should be left to the United States. Another 40 percent said they are relying on the judgement of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak while 27 percent did not. Thirty-seven percent of Israelis felt that if the Tehran government succeeds in producing a nuclear weapon, a second Holocaust will take place.

Given that taking US $billions of Obama's green slushfund is seen around the world as business as usual and some kind of chuckle-worthy victory over the dumb Americans, I'm thinking that a huge number of Israelis must think that nukes in Iran are fine. Maybe the other 59% are more interested in having Obama re-elected so that they get the next round of lawless $lu$h (selection for one tranche is underway right now!). I wish these people would help get the Obama posse voted out instead. Getting the cash now is really a shortsighted view as the American market that has been open to everyone will be gone at the end of another Obama term.
