Jewish, Arab Americans Disapprove of Bush Mideast Policy - by Jim Lobe Both surveys, which were commissioned by the predominantly Jewish Americans for Peace Now (APN) and the Arab American Institute, had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percent. That is the message of a new survey of 500 Jewish Americans polled by Zogby International earlier this month, which found that more than three-quarters of Jewish voters rated Bush's handling of the Arab-Israeli conflict negatively. Jewish respondents also showed strong majority support for other Geneva provisions, including the rights of Palestinian refugees to settle in the new Palestinian state or third countries with compensation; the requirement that the two states cooperate fully on security matters; and the use of outside international monitors to oversee implementation of the 50-page accord. www.antiwar.com /lobe?articleid=1803

jewish americans seen as uncritical of israeli actions A longstanding stereotype of the Jewish American community is that it refuses to criticise the state of Israel for any of its positions with respect to the peace process, while punishing US politicians who do so at the voting booth. According to a recent poll conducted by the American Jewish Committee, an influential policy group, 54% of Jewish Americans support the creation of a Palestinian state of some sort and 57% support the dismantlement of at least some settlements in the West Bank.

Jewish Americans wary of Bush evangelical base - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics The Jewish leaders suspect anti-Semitism, which several polls say is on the rise in Europe, has been fueled by the deteriorating Israeli-Arab situation and hostility in many quarters toward the war in Iraq, and is increasing insecurity and fear among Jewish Americans. The American Jewish community's focus has shifted from concern about Israel to what it sees as growing anti-Semitism worldwide since the September 11 attacks, a mood swing that carries implications for the upcoming presidential election, several Jewish leaders say. Bush is limited because Jewish Americans are basically pro-choice, pro-gun-control, liberal Democrats who frown on religion in public places and even on going to war with an enemy of Israel. www.washtimes.com /national/20040316-102301-7749r.htm
