Michael Barone: Republicans Support Israel...
...far more than Democrats.
Barone analyzes a new poll in which a majority (56 percent) of Democrats think Israel has acted improperly in defending itself against Hezbollah, while a majority (64 percent) of Republicans believe Israel's response has been correct.
Barone: "Left-wing anti-Israel sentiment is not confined to a few odd corners of the academic world; it has become a mass constituency in the Democratic Party."
And yet only 25% of American Jews voted for President Bush in 2004.
Read the whole thing, his post is filled with interesting details.

I always finding it shocking when I come upon American Jews that are anti-Israel. They're always liberal Jews too. I think there are more Christians than Jews in this country that support Israel. Opinion not supported with facts, I'm just taking a guess here.

Based on Barone's article, I think there's a good chance you're right.
