OBAMA which side is he on? ISRAEL or?
Israeli poll: Obama pro-Palestinian Netanyahu, left, travelled to Washington for talks
with Obama in May
Israelis increasingly view Barack Obama, the US president, as supporting the Palestinian cause as he pushes for Israel to halt settlement growth in the occupied West Bank and relaunch peace talks, according to an opinion poll.
Fifty per cent of Israelis thought Obama was pro-Palestinian, while just six per cent thought he was pro-Israel, acording to the poll for the Jerusalem Post newspaper released on Friday.
The results are a stark contrast to similar surveys taken during the US administration of Obama's predecessor, George Bush, which indicated 88 per cent of Israelis thought that the US administration was pro-Israel.
The Post survey suggested that support for Obama's stance on the Middle East had fallen significantly after he held talks with Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, in Washington and gave a major speech addressing the Arab world in Cairo, Egypt.
During both events, the US president urged Israel to halt all expansion of Jewish settlements on Palestinian land and accept the principle of an independent Palestinian state.

One US president after another has folloowed this policy proof of the power of manipulation of teh Israeli lobby in the US and world wide.
Nobody seems to care about teh Palestenians who lost their country due to teh meddling of England that ha no business of "giving" away it's territory to what is Israel today.
Maybe Mr. Obama finally recognises this mistake and will "adjust" and change the blind backing of Israel.
Totally ignoring the plight of the Palestanien who in part lost their copuntry due to teh meddling of England that arbitrarly took their country an dgave teh land to form the state of Islael.
Maybe finally a UD president (Mr. Obama) acknowledges this shortcoming and will address this issue in earnest, it would be about time.
Maybe finally teh US is waking up, loses it's blinders towards Israel and adjusts it policies accordingly.
