India, the Most Pro-Israel Country
by Daniel Pipes
http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2009/04/india-the-most-pro-israel-country
A study undertaken on behalf of Israel's foreign ministry by an international market research company found that India is the most pro-Israel country in the world, beating out the United States by two percentage points.
58% India
Comment : The Indian statistic is not the only striking one - note the continent of the countries clustered at the bottom and how much lower their numbers than those of Russia and China. Just as the U.S government should rethink its military alliances, so might Israelis take a fresh look at the globe. (April 3, 2009)
