Israeli public closes ranks with Netanyahu on Iran
Israeli media fails to inform the public on the alternative interpretation of the Iran nuke deal.
Poll results that were released during the weekend of Nov. 15 in the Yisrael HaYom newspaper showed that 65.5% of Israelis oppose the agreement with Iran that is being formulated in the Geneva talks. True, the poll appears in a paper whose publisher, Sheldon Adelson, is a friend of the prime minister and its official editorial policy is unqualified support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, other polls present a similar tendency. Israel does not believe that Iran is really changing.
In addition, a poll by Kol Israel (Israel's state radio Channel 2) shows that 55% of the Israeli public distrusts the United States with regard to the nuclear talks. In other words, they feel that the US is being led astray, as if it were a paper tiger.
