Only 19% of Voters Blame Israel for Gaza Flotilla Ambush

Despite the attacks and omissions by the state-run media in favor of the poor “peace activists”, just 19% of American voters believe Israel is to blame for the Gaza Flotilla ambush.
No doubt, the videos released by the IDF, like this one, helped the Israelis:
Rasmussen reported:
Forty-nine percent (49%) of U.S. voters believe pro-Palestinian activists on the Gaza-bound aid ships raided by Israeli forces are to blame for the deaths that resulted in the high-profile incident.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 19% of voters think the Israelis are to blame. Thirty-two percent (32%) more are not sure.
But 51% say Israel should allow an international investigation of the incident. Twenty-five percent (25%) agree with the Israeli government and reject the idea of an international probe. Another 24% are undecided.
In the May 31 incident, nine people were killed when Israeli commandos raided an aid ship headed from Turkey to break the Israeli blockade imposed on the Palestinian Gaza Strip.

That same 19% probably think that Helen Thomas’ free speech rights were stepped on too.

The MFM reported that Israel attacked the flotilla.
Dummies believe the MFM.

19 percent of voters and one blowhard-in-chief.

Ooooh, I think a transparent, full, professional and merciless investigation is just exactly what is needed.
Somebody ought to ask a whole mess of Turkish officials whether they thought they had been encouraged by this administration to host this mess. Has Bill Ayers been mouthing off? Has he been representing something on the order of “He loves my a$$?”

The polls mean nothing. The only thing that matters is what “obama” thinks happen. He already said the Israeli’s are to blame “case close”.
Americans need to remember that “he won” and that’s that. Get over it.
Sandy commented:
Obama has been on the wrong side of every issue and he’s on the wrong side of this issue. He spends too much time trying to decide whose asses to kiss and whose to kick to ever listen to the people of this country.
When the Republicans met with him a couple of weeks ago they came out of the meeting and said this guy has a glass jaw. He takes all criticism personally. If something happens to Israel Obama will be responsible because as a representative of the US he is supposed to put out the fires — not stoke them.
