YEAH, BUT THEY DIDN'T POLL AMERICAN JEWISH NEO-CONS

Reuters reported a poll of Israelis on Iran and I was surprised by some of the results. First, only 21% believe that Iran "would attack Israel with nuclear weapons with the objective of destroying it." Given how American talk radio covers this issue, I was expecting maybe 80%. Despite that belief, far less than 21% would even consider emigrate if Iran acquired nuclear weapons:
Asked how a nuclear-armed Iran would affect their lives, 80 percent of respondents said they expected no change. Eleven percent said they would consider emigrating and 9 percent said they would consider relocating inside Israel.
