J Street Blues

Poll shows Israeli opinion
of President Obama mixed(up)

Jim Gerstein
 Ben Smith posted this story, and now Drudge is carrying it. Yesterday Michael Goldfarb posted the back-story on the Weekly Standard Blog (Two Jews, Three Opinions)  The reader needs to understand that J Street is a phoney-balony "pro-peace" and "pro-Israel,'' Jewish lobby, formed to denigrate Israel and Jews.  In a nutshell, here's J Street's  polling technique in this instance.  Looks like the New York Times-CBS model., wot?  

Gerstein, however, polled everyone, including Arabs, who comprised 16 percent of his sample (an under-sampling, actually — almost 20 percent of Israelis are Arab). More important, he did not ask the same, or even a similar, question.
