Israel e/ou Palestina?

"To Israel, with hate--and guilt. Why Europe, unlike America, finds it so hard to love Israel " (The Economist, 8/19/06) summarizes Pew Global Attitudes Reports. Americans are very pro-Israel, with nearly 50% supporting Israel and only15% the Palestinians. Germany is the most pro-Israel country in Europe, 38% to 18%. The French are equally divided at 38 %. Britain has a slight tilt toward the Palestinians, 22% to 28%, Spain is very pro-Palestinian (8% to 30%) and Turkey even more so, 4% to 62%.
