If the US suddenly withdrew all support for Israel, do you think Arab opinions of the US would suddenly reverse? Likewise, if Israel pulled out completely from all of the disputed territories, do you think Arab nations would suddenly support an Israeli state?

I'm of the opinion that decades of entrenched hatred and mistrust find convenient, modern excuses for their existence. I get the feeling that if the current excuse was removed, another would take its' place.

  My point is the poll in 2001 was the same.
  Nothing has changed. Maybe a point or two. We still
  support Israel and they don't like us, at least
  according to your poll.
