Poll: Keep building in J'lem despite US pressure, Obama anti-Israel, hurting peace process

Here are the results of a Maagar Mochot poll commissioned by IMRA.

Do you think that Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision will lead to more or less pressure from the United States?

Did the American Government take the crisis regarding the construction decision in the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood out of proportion?

Some claim that if Israel were to withdraw to the '67 lines - including leave the Golan - it would enjoy peace for generations since the Arabs would no longer have any claims against Israel. Do you think that this is a naive or simplistic view or a reasonable and correct assessment?

Naive and simplistic 82% Reasonable and correct 8% Don't know/Other replies 10%

Does the decision of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to continue the
construction in Jerusalem prove he has or doesn't have a backbone?
Yes 55%, No 22% Don't know/Other replies 23%

Hmmm. The most stunning result is the first two results taken together. 62% want to keep building in Jerusalem even though 61% understand that could ruin what is left of our relationship with the Obama administration.
