As Israel and Jewish people around the world celebrate the unification of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the Jewish people a public opinion survey of American voters asked the following question:

Should the United States force Israel to give half of Jerusalem, including Christian and Jewish Holy Sites, to the Palestinians?

11.8% said Yes

69.0% said NO

In other words the American public is at odds with the international movement to make half of Jerusalem the capital of a Palestinian State.

In a related question: Do you think that if the Palestinians were given their own state in the West Bank and Gaza they would live peacefully with Israel or continue their campaign of terror to destroy Israel?

17.5% said Live Peacefully

59.7% said Continue Terror

Clearly the American people understand the world better than their "leaders".
