Only 4% of Israelis Think Obama is Pro-Israel

I didn't think it was possible to go lower than 6 percent, but Barack Obama's done it. Just 4 percent of Israelis believe Barack Obama is pro-Israel according to the latest poll from the Jerusalem Post. A majority of Israelis think that Barack Obama is pro-Palestinian (51 percent). Could 96 percent of Israelis being wrong? I doubt it, but the impact will be the same regardless of whether it's true or not. As Ben Smith says, "This is a substantive obstacle to peace, as it means that Israeli leaders — already disinclined to deal — could pay a price at home for working too closely with the American president."
