Gauging Arab public opinion - US, Israel the real threat!

Gauging Arab public opinion - Opinion - Al Jazeera English:


"Awaiting the publication of the report in English, here are the poll's main conclusions:

A majority describe themselves as religious, but they mostly don't support the interference of religious authorities in citizens' political choices.

71 per cent say they don't distinguish between religious and non-religious people in their economic and social relations.

77 per cent trust their military, half trust their police, 47 per cent trust their governments and

36 per cent trust their local councils before the revolutions.

A high 83 per cent believe corruption is widespread in their countries.

Only 19 per cent see their states implement the law equally among its citizens.

Three quarters of those polled believe that Arab states should take measures to bring their nations closer. An equal percentage believes that states should lift restrictions on free travel and 67 per cent are not satisfied with Arab-Arab co-operation.

Contrary to mainstream global media coverage, 73 per cent of those polled see Israel and the US as the two most threatening countries. Five per cent see Iran as the most threatening, a percentage that varies between countries and regions.

A high 84 per cent believe the Palestinian question is the cause of all Arabs and not the Palestinians only.

A high 84 per cent reject the notion of their state's recognition of Israel and only 21 per cent support, to a certain degree, the peace agreement signed between Egypt, Jordan and the PLO with Israel. Less than a third agree with their government's foreign policy.

When it comes to WMD, 55 per cent support a region free of nuclear weapons and 55 per cent see Israel's possession of nuclear weapons as justifying their possession by other countries in the region."

Pure Evil. Israeli officials: Starve Iranians to stop nukes - Israel News, Ynetnews

Israeli officials: Starve Iranians to stop nukes - Israel News, Ynetnews:

The evil comes full circle, from the Nazis and the Warsaw ghetto, to Israeli officials advocating the mass starvation of an entire nation, people and civilisation. How long before this becomes the, overt, policy of the West towards Iran?

from Ynet News:

"Iran's citizens should be starved in order to curb Tehran's nuclear program, officials in Jerusalem said Wednesday ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming trip to Washington.

"North Korea is halting its nuclear program in order to receive aid in food, and this is what should be done with Iran as well," one unnamed official said.

"Suffocating sanctions could lead to a grave economic situation in Iran and to a shortage of food," the source said. "This would force the regime to consider whether the nuclear adventure is worthwhile, while the Persian people have nothing to eat and may rise up as was the case in Syria, Tunisia and other Arab states.""
