Israelis Racist Against White Males?
Hardly ten days after the New York Times bureau chief in Jerusalem told Chris Matthews that purported Israeli “racism” is part of why Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are, according to bureau chief Ethan Bronner, more popular in Israel than Barack Obama, a poll showed overwhelming public support in Israel for the American president. (UPDATE: Was AP duped by Ha’aretz? See our latest post on the poll here.)
As AP notes today,
Some Israelis have misgivings about Obama, who is cooler to Israel than his immediate predecessors and has made a big effort to reach out to the Muslim world.
But a Dialog survey of 499 people on Wednesday and Thursday showed that seven out of 10 Israelis share a favorable view.
The title of that AP story: “Israelis view Obama favorably, mixed on Netanyahu.” So should Bronner say on his next TV appearance that Israelis are racist against white males?
