Amid a growing flurry of speculation that an Israeli attack on Iran is imminent, a new poll from the Dialogue Institute shows a solid majority of the nation is opposed to the idea, with 46 percent against the attack and only 32 percent in favor.
The poll comes in spite of near daily exhortations for war by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and also showed only 34 percent of Israelis remain satisfied with Netanyahu’s conduct in office.
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was also openly critical of the planned attack, saying that there was no good reason for Israel to attack Iran “now or in the near future” and accused Netanyahu of “overblown drama.”
“Back in 2003 they said that in 2007 Iran will have a bomb. Now it’s 2012 and there is no bomb,” Olmert noted. Israeli officials have recently been pushing the idea again that Iran is nearing some sort of breakthrough, but don’t appear to have any evidence to back up this allegation.
If these people ever would consider that they are not the majority, people would have a better life and brighter feature. But these people always are the majority even when they don’t have the majority support. Let me make it simple for you to understand.., these people are sick, physically they look good but mentally they are sick, so sick that even doctors have given up on them.
BOMB OR NO BOMB,created and made believe rights, only belongs to the oppresssors.Iran or anyone else for that matter is ordered to stay silent or anything justly said will be used against them in the Court of Already Established Guilty…i.e Security CON-SELL. or sold.
When olmert was prime minister he pushed exactly as bibi for a war against Iran and threatened.He was more ridiculous even than bibi-if this could be possible-claiming that Iran will get the bomb in a few months.
If Netahyahoo only holds a 34% approval rating, as reported, how does he maintain his coalition? Surely one or two of his coalition partners realize that this would be a good time to end the coalition and with their following be able to offer another party the chance to dethrone Likud and send Bibi and his sycophants into a much needed retirement. But they need to do it now because the pressure on the US to do the deed for them is high and if the US succumbs to the constant egging there will be no removing Netanyahoo until Israel crumbles around his ears.
Perhaps it is time for the non Zionist Jews in Israel to quote their former enemy:
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."
