Juan likes Israelis

Juan Cole, who likes to accuse Israel of "war crimes," now channels Edwin Starr in a post entitled "Gaza War! Hunh! What was it Good For?" Juan links approvingly to a piece which concludes "the Israeli narrative of the lead-up to the Gaza War was just lies." But don't worry, he actually "likes Israelis." He's just giving them friendly advice:
A CNN poll found that 63% of Americans felt that Israel's war on Gaza was right. They say only 17% of Americans supported the Palestinians.

An earlier Rasmussen poll found that 44% of Americans supported the war and 41% opposed it. That may be an artifact of the way the question was asked. Americans like Israelis (and I am among them), so if you ask them if they support the Israelis or the Palestinians, you get a skewed answer.
