American Jews Support Peace in Middle East

A scientific poll financed by supporters of J Street, a new peace lobby group in Washington, DC, finds that American Jews support US involvement in the Israeli-Arab peace process (69%). They are also support the US working with a joint Hamas-Fatah Palestinian Authority even though our government refuses to recognize Hamas as a legitimate representative because of its terrorist organization status.  Interestingly, the same percentage of Israelis (69%) also think Israel should negotiate with a Hamas-Fatah government according to the Truman Institute at Hebrew University.  By 76% American Jews support a two state final solution to the Palestinian-Israel conflict, the outlines of which were negotiated during the Camp David and Taba summits. These results are not surprising, but do demonstrate the disconnect between the people and the Liebermans of the world when it comes to resolving this conflict.
