Poll: Over half of Egypt wants to end the peace with Israel
I tried to tell you. "Poll: Over half of Egypt wants end to Israel peace," by Paul Schemm for AP, April 25 (thanks to Nichole):
CAIRO (AP) - More than half of all Egyptians would like to see the 1979 peace treaty with Israel annulled, according to results of a poll conducted by the U.S.-based Pew Research Center released Monday.
The poll highlights the deep unpopularity of the three-decade-old treaty, which is central to U.S. policy in the region and was scrupulously adhered to by former President Hosni Mubarak, until his Feb. 11 ouster....
According to the poll results, only 36 percent of Egyptians are in favor of maintaining the treaty, compared with 54 percent who would like to see it scrapped....
Opinions varied according to income, with 60 percent of lower income Egyptians supporting the treaty's cancellation while only 45 percent of the wealthier classes thinking it should be done away with.
Only 40 percent of Egyptians with a college education felt the treaty should be scrapped, as well....
AP clearly wants you to think that Islamic antisemitism is restricted to the poor and ignorant. If only it were so.
