New PEW report reveals that: "Israel [is]... the only public among the 25 surveyed where the current U.S. rating is lower than in past surveys". Wow! This might mean that lack of trust in Obama now translates to lower favorability ratings of American itself. This can't be considered as good news.

Take a look at the data:

 And no less interesting is the table showing Israeli and Palestinian reaction to the Cairo speech. Obama lost confidence of Israelis - and gained less than what might be expected in the Palestinian Territories. At list as a short term booster of confidence this seems like a lose-lose kind of event. Take a look:

I don't see a lot of movement one way or the other in Israel and the Palestinian territories pre and post speech. I don't think either side will make a permanent shift in their opinion based on one speech. In many ways, the speech was what was to be expected..Curiously, I find that Obama's favorable rating is higher in Israel than it is in Canada. His rating in Canada is appreciabily higher than George Bush's, however Canadain politics have moved to the right while America has moved to the left. I don't think this has ever happened before.

Come next year, it will drop below 50%. Israelis look upon Obama and see a threat.

Is there a poll showing the various countries' opinion of Israel? If so, please post it. Thanks.

Israel is a criminal, hateful, cruel, godless, murderous country. There is no doubt that the end of Israel will be very very harsh, very very cruel. what else can be said of a country that exterminates children with Depleted Urainium and white Phosphorus.? What else can be said of a country that starves children to death while soldiers watch in deep satisfaction. As it you do to others, so will be done to you.

Nugget, prehaps one shouldn't feel sad about the extermination of scum like you. perhaps this is what will eventually happen to you. scums require a scum end. People get rid of their scums, the good for nothing. Here alot of Jews like you come to Germany for food, for some money..they take social benefits from German tax payers. We work 10 hours per day and your people staff the prostitution houses, the gambling outlets...it is very much like early 1930s..sucking our blood. But every dog has its day...but your day will soon be over.

"Democrats" [Jack Oss's] & not "Republicans" [Elephants] historically did not always favor Israel. So Israel INTELL/AIPAC knew way-before Mr. Obama's election that he etal "will-be-used" since he is a perfect, Lamb/candidate or ScapeGoat for John HAGEE's 50million Army+ &that IsraelWorld & IslamlWorld knew His lack-of-Experience, a prophecy? & will use it against him & "F"-Troop during "Trials & Tribulations" especlly when He has 4-Living Presidents for advice. Obama's Down-Fall, if any, is dangerous for Whites here but more-deadly for israel & JEWs? Israel: Do-NOT bite theHand that FED yous!

Another critical failure of Israeli leadership.

With all due respect it is much more significant what Americans and the rest of the world think about Israel than the other way around, and the shift we are witnessing is not at all in Israel's favor. Similar situation applies to North KoreahÂ….

No USA support, No Isreal. True in the past....True in the future. You are starting to lose support in USA.
13  |  Real American, Wednesday Jul 29, 2009
By this time next year, hopefully, Americans will have woken up (as they are beginning to stir now) and throw most of the Demoncraps out of Congress - if this Obamacare thing passes, and Pelosi is intent on ramming it through despite the displeasure of 60 percent of Americans, they may very well be a revolution in the streets. A lot of the Demoncraps, like Obie, are either old time Commies or have those views and they're raising to the surface. Well, there's still enough of us who despite Hollyweird, despite "reality tv", despite bimbos like Britney, remember what this country is all about.
14  |  Real American, Wednesday Jul 29, 2009
Despite a lot of crap in the GOP like Sanford, Ensign, Tim Pawlenty, Jan Brewer, the tax queen of Arizona, and Schwarzenegger, who can't decide one day if he's a patriot or a Democrat toady the next, and the hapless Lindsay Graham there are some solid people coming up - Jim DeMint, John Cornyn, Coburn in my state of Oklahoma, Bobby Jindal, Eric Cantor, and others. All GREAT Americans unlike that Kenyan boy, and all strong supporters of Israel. If one of them, and DeMint looks especially good now, can unite the base and get the Reagan Dems back, the little anti-semite moral retard is toast.

Despite Israelis fear, the U.S. and Israel are moving in the same direction about the threat from Iran, as well as moving towards a possible settlement of the Israeli Arab conflict that will involve more normalization from the Arab countries. Don't count Obama out yet. He is not the enemy of Israel you think he is. Israel's enemies are Iran and the thugs in Russia who are arming Iran, Syria, Hamas, and Hezbollah. A country, the U.S., that is trying to broker a two State solution and pressuring the Arabs to recognize Israel and agrees with Israel about the Iranian threat is not your enemy.

Well said, Golden Nugget. Only a fool trusts The Obamanation and his gang of Chicago thugs.
17  |  Nevada_len, Wednesday Jul 29, 2009
We shall wait and see Obamas support. His ratings fall evrytime their is a poll. Polls,however are only a photo of the moment. Trends however begin to develope from these moments. The trend does not look good for Obama and company. Democratic Congress is in dissaray, economy continues to deteriorate if you look at unemployment, which is the grest indicator of how sucessful an economy is. No work no retail purchasing which is the backbone of US economy. Stock Market rallying based a great deal on momentum. When that falters other indicators indicate dire things. Obama will be toast.
18  |  David, Wednesday Jul 29, 2009
Israel has to come to grips with the change in America and the world. Obama is not Israel's enemy as those right wing loonies trying to portray. He is not carrying an Obama foreign policy, but a US foreign policy based on US global and national interests. It is more than unlikely that whoever becomes the US next president will carry a policy or lack of policy as Bush did. Bush was an exception to US policy being run but the extreme neo cons and Israel shouldn't hold its breath for those days to return because they are not.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye O' Dear Yisroel: Yes, The LORD/ALLAH/ISHVARA is Achod/1/Uno.. But so is Space-Ship-Earth. And as a "Modern State Of Israel" [Not Center of this real NEW-World} that Ye are close to seeing your Lands once again over-run & Ye Temples Destroyed, surely Soon! PROPHECY: If our Prez Mr. Obama Fails to achieve long lasting PEACE because of your Peoples Land Greed via Finatical Jews outgrowth & AIPAC; that the U.S.A. Will Isolate Itself & Ye will Fend For Your Selves & U.S. will favor someone else in Region. America will United itself all the way to Panama as 101 States w/out Israel.

I see the USA in a lesser light -- in its relations with Israel. The President of the United States is buckling under to pressure from certain advisers who privilege Arab oil over Israeli democracy, and prefer Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hezbollah & Co. (the Company is Iran/Syria & satellites) to their most loyal ally.
21  |  Josh, Wednesday Jul 29, 2009
The comments here are wild... You people are insane.
22  |  Real American, Wednesday Jul 29, 2009
Obama is the ENEMY of Israel, Mister Koch. I've read your stuff, and you couldn't tell the backside of a horse's bleep from a mule's. You'd be very lost out on the frontier, not exactly a place for a lox and bagel blindsided Liberal. Especially one who claims one day he's not an Obama fan, and then the next two days is his biggest cheerleader. That's what cracks this Christian Cowboy up about you spineless Liberals. Like Obama, you have no moral compass whatsoever, except to embrace evil in Iran, the Gaza Strip, Venezuela, and North Korea. You wouldn't last an hour, even that on the plains.
23  |  Real American, Wednesday Jul 29, 2009
David, Do you know the difference between a buffalo chip and a cow's turd? You probably don't because you're too busy sniffing up Obama's crack to know. I'm not Jewish, but I can tell an anti-Semite a mile away. Your hero is an anti-Semite. By the way, so are you. You chortled out "neo-con" which, if you had brains would know that is an anti-Semite's euphenism for Jews. We who sit around campfires and are kind to strangers, even sissies like you know when prejudice rears its ugly head. Obama screams about Settlements but is dead silent about dead girls in Iran. He's no Cowboy, for sure.

Rosner, Can we have a poll result on international view of Israel. It would be interesting reading. How well is the Israeli spin doing? Oh, I think there is so much love for Israel around the world. Israel is such an innocent country.

To Real American the rest of us who voted for Obama must be Un-American and of course anti-semitic too..lol. Demographics my friend. The democrats aren't going anywhere. There will more hispanics, asians, african americans, college educated people in the future. Find out what percentage of under 30 voted for Obama?! Oh yes they will be in power soon. America is changing and nobody can do anything about it. Think about it..such immense pleasure.
29  |  Yacov Yosifovitch :IDF shouldSpendMoreEnergy&StopSettlements, Wednesday Jul 29, 2009
Here is an interesting EXCERPT from jPOST [ [ Link to page ] ]. "...Kedumim mayor Daniella Weiss, who helped organize the event on behalf of the Land of Israel Faithful said, The Americans would do better to worry about their occupation of Iraq than to focus their energies on depriving Jews of their legitimate right to build in their homeland." This Ex-Mayor is an unappreciative Hazeer/Pig! Especialy since He & They are Lost in Reality & not only via their? (not-OURs anymore) biblio translations etc..

To Real American @ 23 Eight years of Bush has created an unrealistic and dangerous delusional view among many Israelis in regard to their power or influence in the world. As result Israelis today truly believe Israel is the super power and the US is in needs of Israel just as Israel needs the US if not more. Truth of the matter is, Israel is in need of a strong American president to bring it down to size and if need be via shock and awe treatment. Obama represents sane and balanced US foreign policy and only crack heads like you can portray him as Israel enemy.
32  |  David, Wednesday Jul 29, 2009
To Real American @ 23 On the personal side; I am an ex IDF solder, participated in 2 wars and gave some of my best years in the service of Israel. I still love and care for Israel but am quite concerned and alarmed over its direction and leadership. Now, what have you got to say for yourself fat lazy American jerk that doesn't even have the courage to post under his real name?

please mind your media,i regret to think if somebody gets offended ,i really want our nations to reassure our unquestionble support for each other but it is what it is lets make the best of it

Somebody should preview these comments and delete the brain diarrhea of totally insane idiots like this "Yacov Yosifovitch" and Nazis like the "German Journalist". It's a shame that "Jerusalem Post" and "Rosner Blog" are offering space for this kind of outrage.

as history has proven on numerous unfortunate occassions democrats cut security and republicans increase like or not thats the facts!we in america were blessed to have a pro-americn president for 8 yrs. if you don`t understand the tactics or have recieved inaccurate portrayal of events seek them out,its not brain surgery.unfortunately this only bought free nations time not wisdom.i`m sure people of israel president bush had you in his heart and i`m very concerned with president obama`s disposition or interpretation of whats in best intrest of global security please exercise caution,diligence
36  |  Nevada_len, Thursday Jul 30, 2009
David: I don't believe you are posting your real name. I don't blieve you fought in two wars as an Israelie. You are a scheming arab poster posing as an Israeli supporting policy that will bring its destruction. Any Israeli, who fought in two Wars, and suddenly now decides Israel has lost its way because it chooses a policy of self respect and protetion for its citizens, has got to be a fraud. I smell it in your posts.

Obama is an Enemy of the US and Israel, period. The US fell asleep last election. Its like getting drunk the night before and waking up next to the Ugly Bitch.
38  |  Real America, Thursday Jul 30, 2009
David, First off, I don't believe a word you say about your so-called IDF service. Call it a Cowboy's intuition, but someone who fought wars for Israel's security would not be so flippant to not only support Obama, but spew nonsense about "Neo-Cons", and cheer Obama's destructive policies, not just towards Israel but the USA. As for little Stevie. You're one of these brain-dead types who got your American History through Zinn, and could care less about the future of this nation. Fact is, there's still enough of us out there who will fight for the USA even if you sit on your lazy bleep.

So...lets see.. "Like Father Like Son/Daughter" = GERMAN journalist GENUINE SCUM....Bet your name is Adolf or Eva named after your father's harlot Eva Braun...Dream on about the 1930s but dont forget the 1940s when your asses were whipped and you got your "Special Rewards" from the Russians >OUCH !!

42  |  Real American, Thursday Jul 30, 2009
You got my answer, David, and frankly I don't believe a word you say about IDF service. We have plenty of phonies shilling for Obama who claim U.S. military service as well. As for me, I don't publicize, but you come out to the Plains and you can find out, that is, if you can move your bleep away from those Pork Chops, you and that tattooed, brain dead college boy Stevie. I stand by my words, and my words are those of a Cowboy. We keep 'em, we mean 'em. And we stick by our friends, families, and allies, unlike the little boy in the pew whom you and Stevie suck up to like a cow's udder.

So what else is new ? Israeli's have never viewed any foreign country in a favorable light even when the country is responsible for funding the whiners in Israel. So who really cares what the people of Israel think ? The real question should be, do the people of Israel think about anything outside their immediate attention ? Same as a baby. About the same maturity level as well.

Beliving in Obama is becoming increasingly an act of "religious" faith. I read his campaign book last fall and learned everything I really needed to know about him: he is disconnected from reality. He believes that George Bush, and George Bush alone, caused partisanship in America, our economic situation, and our foreign policy dilemma. Unfortunately for him and his acolytes, it is demonstrable that each of these problems predates the Bush presidency, so Bush cannot be responsible for causing them. It follows almost axiomaticly that Obama's "solutions" won't solve any of them.

#41 BANNISTER....The chances of the US getting its aid money from "Palestine" (pretend name for Jewish land ocupied by murdering Muslim terrorists) is the same as poking Bannister up a porcupine's ass with a needle...Israel's "aid" is just a "deposit" on the US debt to Israel...Get It Pimp for Islam ??

Sally - U.S.A.: Daran, I'm not trying to double team against you with Mike, but I do want to bring up couple of points with you & this seems like a good time. Many times you ask people questions or their opinion & most of the time, they answer you. But when the shoe is on the other foot, you don't. Second, you misstate facts & will not admit to it. Everyone makes fact misstakes; I know I have. But you insist on agruing facts when there is nothing to argue. In my opinion, it doesn't show cleverness; it just shows an inability to engage in discussion. If you are a friend of Israel, shouldn't that be your concern
