But 55 percent disagree and say that "President Obama is naive in thinking that the Palestinians would make peace, whatever they say. They will just use the new land as a base to attack Israel like they did in Gaza."
On the issue of Iran, Jewish Democrats are confused. While they agree, by 67-8, that if Iran gets nuclear weapons, it will use them to destroy Israel, only 14 percent said it was "very likely" that "Israel could be destroyed by an Iranian nuclear attack in the next ten years."
Another 37 percent said it was "somewhat likely" but 40 percent said it was "unlikely."
Jewish Democrats are not enthusiastic about Obama's efforts to "stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons." Only 40 percent said they thought he was doing a good job of stopping it. But, at the same time, by 15-62, they disagree that "Israel should bomb Iran to stop them from developing nuclear weapons."
Yet, only 38 percent felt that there "is a real chance that Iran can be stopped from developing a bomb without an Israeli attack."
Jewish Democrats heartily approve of Israel and most of its policies and emphatically reject any moral equivalence between the Jewish state and the Palestinian refugees:
Ninety-two percent have a favorable opinion of Israel while only 17 percent have a positive view of the Palestinian refugees.
By 81-6, they agree that "Israel is a democracy and has a free political system."
They agree that "It is very important that Jews have a country of their own considering their history of persecution" by 86-7.
Emphatically, by 9-75, the reject the contention that "Israel has become a bully, pushing its Arab neighbors around."
By 14-55, they disagree with the accusation that "the Israeli Army and Mossad are guilty of human rights abuses." Rather, they say, by 59-14, that "the Israeli Army and Mossad go out of their way to avoid hurting civilians."
Asked if "Israel is always trying to grab more land and throw out the Palestinians who live there," Jewish Democrats disagree by 11-73. And they also disagree with the charge that "Israel is intolerant of its neighbors and does not do enough to get along with them in peace" by 13-70.
The pro-Israeli mindset of Jewish Democrats is most evident on the basic question of who is to blame for the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Asked if they agree that "if the Arabs lay down their weapons, there would be no more war. It is just their desire to destroy Israel that creates the conflict," they agree by 60-20. Likewise, they also agree, by 83-6, that "if Israel were to lay down its weapons, the Arabs would destroy it."
The fervency of their support for Israel suggests that Obama may suffer real political damage among a core Democratic constituency if he continues policies that differ so fundamentally from those of the Israeli government.
