US Jews maintain strong support of Iran deal — J Street poll

The poll, which was conducted among 1,000 adults who identify as Jewish, found that 60 percent of those questioned said they supported the agreement that aims to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions in exchange for the lifting of US and international sanctions.

The latest results indicate that American Jewish support of the agreement exceeds that of the general US population. According to polls by ABC News and Washington Post days after the agreement was singed on July 14, 56 percent of Americans said they supported the deal.

Similarly, a poll published last week by the Los Angeles Jewish Journal showed American Jews are much likelier than non-Jews to back the Iran deal. The newspaper’s survey found that 49% of US Jews supported the agreement as compared to 28% of the general population.

According to J Street’s results, Jewish awareness of the Iran nuclear issue has notably risen since the signing of the agreement. Some 79% said they had heard either some or a great deal of information regarding the deal, up 13 percentage points from its June poll.

this bit of propaganda-slaying information will be suppressed in the corporate media and cable news.

And shekels to bagels, American Jews are far more informed about the overall situation in the ?Middle East and the details of the historic nuclear deal than your average American.

And more aware Israel already has 200 nuclear bombs, so what's the deal with all the fear and Holocaust yammering of Bibi and America media friends??
