What are these numbers supposed to represent? Are they proportional to the number of dead Arabs and Muslims the proposed policies of the corresponding politicians are estimated to lead to?

I'm pleased to see Barack Obama near the bottom of the list.

No an anti-Jewish statement.  Could care less about the religion.

The issue is we need a state of Palestine.  Until we get one, we will keep tensions high in the Middle East.  The folks in Irasel, in general, don't want to accept this reality.

We need to move on to living together in this region.

Another issue I have to say I agree with Obama more on.

Israel's American supporters, especially Christian Zionists and Dominionists, are much less accepting of this reality than most Israelis are. I think deep down most Israelis know that a Palestinian state is inevitable, they're just trying to delay it as long as possible, and so far they've been very successful.

Their price of their success is our biggest foreign policy problem.  It needs to end

Forget this, what about the Taiwan Factor?

I agree. I support an independent Taiwan. Its the DPP for me.


And what exactly did Chuck Hagel and John Kerry do to piss off Israel?

I'd be about a 6.5 on this list. I don't always agree with Israel's decisions, but I support their right to defend themselves and have a lot of residual affection from their early days.

Ah, but the question is who are the main supporters of a democratic Taiwan in the U.S.

There should be a ranking of all of the foreign lobbies.  Who supports Israel, who supports Taiwan, who supports the Armenians, who supports the Kurds, who supports Cuban Exiles, who supports Iranian expats, and on and on and on.
