Post-Gaza Palestinians Worse Off, but Not Blaming Hamas

A new Palestinian public opinion survey gives further weight to the gravity of Israel’s failure in its murderous Gaza offensive in January, and continued embargo of Gaza. While it hoped to destroy, if not weaken, Hamas, these surveys reveal Israel has had quite the opposite effect. The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research just [...]

The special relationship just got sour…

Slowly but surely, and despite being massaged into a catatonic state by Israeli PR hypnotists, American seems to be coming round to reason, especially if they happen to be Democrats. See this auspicious polling news mentioned on Democracy Now!: Poll: Americans Divided Over Israeli Attack A new public opinion poll has shown that Americans are [...]

First Poll on US Opinion on Gaza: Democratic Politicians Ignore Public Opinion

In one of the more interesting analytical writings on the American (non-)debate on the Israeli assault on Gaza, Glenn Greenwald considers how alarmingly out-of-step Democratic politicians are with their party’s rank-and-file views. He cites the first poll on American public views of Israel’s attack. While there is a general tie between those supportive and opposed, [...]

Guest Post: How Will Arab-Americans Be Voting Tomorrow?

This guest post comes from a fellow “What’s Happening” co-host, Suzan, who was on the show when we interviewed researchers on the recent Zogby Poll forecasting Arab-American voting trends for Big Tuesday: Poll shows that Obama leads McCain by a three-to-one margin among Arab-Americans (or..

Obama Losing Key Demo: Dogs

Who should I vote for, Rex? In perhaps one of the most important markers of a candidate’s strength, Obama is losing to McCain.

Readers Respond: Sugarman is a Hot Yahoodi Stud

To commemorate the 60th birthday of the only democracy in the region, KABOBfest celebrated its only purely Jewish investigative journalist by making him the subject of the latest poll. What Does the Name Chaim Sugarman Mean to You? Over one-third correctly characterized him as a “Hot Yahoodi Stud.” That was indeed the right answer, as [...]

KABOBpoll (I forgot the number): Why We Suck this Month

Okay, so I admit it wasn’t the most awe-inspiring KABOBpoll yet. It was something more like “push-polling,” those fake polls politicians use to get messages out rather than really gauge public opinion. We just wanted to let you know why the Fest is a bit slower until the end of this month at least. The [...]

KABOBpoll V: WWHD for More Press

Question: Hillary is so desperate for press, she would: crawl out of Britney Spears’ uterus 15 (25%) sell her bod to Spitzer 17 (28%) occupy Tibet 14 (23%) attend an Indonesian madrassa wearing Somali clothing 16 (26%) kidnap a little white girl 21 (35%) Votes: 60 KABOBreaders are a wise and learned bunch.

KABOBpoll IV: Proof Obama is a Secret Muslim

Two men, same religion, same haircut but with very different pointing tones. KABOBfest readers are convinced Barack HUSSAIN Obama is trying to pull a fast one here. Not only are they sure he is an undercover Muslim brother, but they have the undeniable logic figured out: his haircut very much resembles Malcolm X’s. How can [...]

KABOBpoll III: The Best Thing About Pennsylvania

With all the media coverage of the Quaker state as the next US primary election battleground, KABOBfest wanted to survey its readers about what they think is the best thing about the state.
