Poll: Israeli Public Don’t want War with Iran
Written by: Hayden
The war drums are getting louder by leaders in the United States and in Israel, yet the general public in both nations are not so sure.
The data is posted here and it explains:
Only 22 percent of Israelis believe that a military strike by Israel would delay Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons by at least five years; another 22 percent estimate a delay of three to five years. Nine percent of Israelis believe the delay would be only one or two years. Thirty percent of the respondents believe a strike would either have no effect on the Iranian program or would accelerate it.
Asked what the effect of an Israeli strike would be on the Iranian government, respondents were evenly split between those who believe a strike would weaken the Iranian regime and those who believe it would be strengthened.
On the key question of whether Israel should launch such a strike notwithstanding the fact that the United States and powers advise against it, only 19 percent of Israelis favor a strike even in the face of US opposition. Thirty-four percent oppose a strike no matter what. A plurality — 42 percent — would back a strike only if it had at least the support of the United States.
This should send a clear message to President Obama that he has control of the situation. If he publicly and privately advises against a strike, the Israeli public will overwhelming be against it as well.
