[Peace-discuss] Jewish voters & Israel, Iraq, Iran

[David Green]

Jerusalem Post, May 9 - WASHINGTON - A new Gallup survey found that 61% of Jewish voters prefer Obama to McCain, who got 32% of the Jewish support. That number is far greater than the rate found for the general population, who only preferred Obama to McCain 45-43, according to the poll. Obama also still trails Clinton in Jewish support, according to the survey, with Clinton winning against Obama in the Jewish community 50%-43%.

  Speaking on Monday morning in Washington to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the influential pro-Israel lobby, Mr. McCain charged that Mr. Obama’s prescription for more diplomacy with Iran was misguided and insufficient, and that his proposal to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq would endanger Israel. Mr. McCain got several standing ovations from the group, which seemed receptive to some of his more hawkish statements, especially on Iran and the threat it poses to Israel.
