ZGram: Where Truth is Destiny

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

 

I am submitting to my readers some amazing statistics - all the more amazing because the American media are so heavily dominated by Jewish columnists and feature writers like Krauthammer, Blitzer, Blumenthal, Rosenfeld etc. and their useful idiots like George Will, supposedly a Gentile - if that is, indeed, what he is.

Television network owners and, especially, the behind-the-scenes operating researchers and producers all have a heavy hand in selecting not only the topics for broadcasts but also which guests will be heard or seen live as commentators, which foreign correspondents will be heard, which ones will be censored etc. Thus, the American public in general - subtract the internet audience! - can only base its likes and dislikes, its approval or rejection of causes or leaders on the one-sided information filtered down to them through largely Jewish eyes and brains.

Remember also that Israeli embassies and consulates now pay professional PR agencies a pretty penny to sell their murderous policies. That's why these statistics are really quite amazing. They show common sense and a gut feeling revealing some fairly sound instincts. It looks like Americans are increasingly seeing through all that relentless vilification propaganda that has saturated America against the Palestinians in favor of the Israelis.

The following poll statistics tell a compelling story, sent via press release from the ADC (American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee:

ADC Press Release: American Views on Israeli-Palestinian Issues: A Public Opinion Survey

Washington, DC, August 29 -- The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) commissioned Zogby International to conduct a public opinion survey of American voters nationwide to determine current public attitudes regarding the situation in Palestine. The calls to 1,007 likely voters nationwide were made from Zogby International headquarters in Utica, New York, between July 5th and July 15th, 2001. The margin of error is +/-3.2 %.

The results of the survey point to.the following general trends:

_____While support for Palestinian statehood has increased over the past ten years, Palestinians continue to be viewed unfavorably by American voters. However, Palestinians are viewed much more favorably than the Palestinian Authority or Yasser Arafat.

_____Despite the elaborate public relations campaign by Israel and its supporters in the US over the past 11 months, American public opinion has not shifted radically one way or the other as a result of this campaign and the biased media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

_____It is quite clear that the Palestinian narrative is neither known nor appreciated by a large sector of the American public. For most Americans, the Israeli version still defines the conflict in the Middle East.

_____(While) Israelis are viewed favorably by a majority of Americans, the Israeli government is not viewed as favorably. By the same token, the Palestinian Authority is viewed quite negatively; American opinion is divided on the Palestinians.

_____An overwhelming majority of Americans support the Palestinian right to independent statehood and see the Palestinians as the equal people entitled to full rights as the Israelis.

_____American support for the Palestinians increases when the issue is presented in purely humanitarian terms.

_____Conversely, support for the Palestinians tends to decrease when the issue is presented in legal, religious or historical terms.

_____A plurality of American voters agrees that the Palestinians rejected the Israeli offer at Camp David because it failed to provide them with freedom of movement and contiguous land capable of producing a viable state.

_____American sub-groups who are inclined to support the Palestinians include the Democrats, liberals, Catholics, Hispanics and African-Americans.

_____More than three-quarters of U.S. voters generally blame both Israelis and Palestinians for the breakdown of the Middle East peace process.

PLEASE NOTE:

There is a worldwide effort to gain signatures on a petition to indict Ariel Sharon for war crimes at the web site below. More than 50,000 have already signed it. Sharon has already been indicted in Brussels. This petition goes to Mary Robinson at the Hague ... who just a few hours ago revealed she is a Jewess. Sign anyway! A statement is a statement!

Thought for the Day:

"Yes, the South African speech [of the UN Conference} was beautiful. I wish I could have heard her deliver it. I'm getting all kinds of email describing the Jews screeching about rampant anti-Semitism at the conference. :--)"
