An Israeli F-16 warplane. An opinion poll has shown that two-thirds of Israelis oppose their country launching on its own a military attack against nuclear installations in arch-foe Iran.The AIPAC war lobby SO DOMINATES America - media, government, and even the ostensibly "opposes war" Democrat Party - that the recent NIE report that Iran's nuclear weapons program was suspended in 2004 has been played - by the White House, the 'major media' AND MANY PROMINENT DEMOCRATS! - as JUSTIFYING President Bush "World War III" and Vice President Cheney's most bombastic "BOMB IRAN TOMORROW" war rhetoric.
The Democrat's PRO-WAR neo-cons now include CHUCK SCHUMER, DIANNE FEINSTEIN, former "liberal" Senator RON WYDEN, and even Hillary Clinton.... and of course, Joe Lieberman, whose soft, oh-so-reasonable tone masks a Nazieque desire to do to more targets what the US military has already done to Falujah, Baghdad, and other Iraqi cities.
Two-thirds of Israelis oppose attack on Iran: poll

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Two-thirds of Israelis oppose their country launching on its own a military attack against nuclear installations in arch-foe Iran, said a poll published on Thursday.
When asked "should Israel alone attack the Iranian nuclear installations," 67.2 percent said no, while 20.9 percent said yes and 11.9 percent had no opinion, said the survey aired on public radio.
The poll questioned people after the publication of a bombshell intelligence report in the United States earlier in the week, which said Tehran had frozen its atomic weapons programme in 2003.
Israel has vowed to keep up its diplomatic offensive against Iran's contested nuclear programme despite the report, saying it believes Tehran has probably restarted an atomic weapons programme.
Widely thought to be the Middle East's sole if undeclared nuclear power, Israel considers Iran its top enemy following repeated statements by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for the Jewish state to be wiped off the map.
Thursday's poll was carried out by Shivuk Panorama marketing group, questioning 562 people, and had a 4.5-percentage point margin of error.
