University of MD-Zogby International Poll
Israel, rather than Iran or Al Qaeda, is perceived as the looming threat to the Arab world according to a recently released opinion poll conducted in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Despite long term neoconservative rhetoric emanating from the Bush administration that the region “hates the US for its values” statistically significant findings of this 2008 poll suggest that policy is driving growing distrust and opposition to both the US and Israel in the region. What confusion does exist in the Arab world is whether hidden objectives truly driving regional policies originate in Washington or Tel Aviv.
