BRUSSELS (AFP) - The European Union (news - web sites) scrambled to contain the fallout from a public opinion poll that -- to Israel's fury -- labelled the Jewish state the biggest threat to world peace.
 
The United States was just behind Israel in the global danger league, in joint second place with North Korea (news - web sites) and Iran, according to the "Eurobarometer" poll requested by the European Commission.

Holden's comment:

Look's like the Hamas strategy of killing city bus passengers and restaurant patrons is paying off.

Yeah, the 7500 people surveyed for that poll (http://www.washtimes.com/upi-breaking/20031101-102019-5361r.htm) sure represent the entire EU really well.

I don't agree with the poll's whopping 59% majority - calling Israel the biggest thread to world peace is simply stupid - but this thing is in no way representing any EU countries' position on the middle-east issue nor does the poll reveal the "EU's true colors" or whatever. It's just a poll, jeez.

You guys are painting with pretty broad brushes there.

7500 is a pretty big sampling.  And the results do match EU attitudes toward international matters.

Let's see... plenty of Islamic inmigration in most European countries... and I want this poll to draw some attention... hmm... who should I interview?

I really really doubt that any spaniard would respond Israel to that particular question. More like Pakistan, India, North Korea, China...

It's the EU government's poll.  If it is wrong, take it up with them.  They comissioned it.

Looks like it was the EU's paintbrush.

Europes support of the final solution is well documented.

 The European Union ... public opinion poll that -- to Israel's fury -- labelled the Jewish state the biggest threat to world peace.

 Heh - "Euro pole". Nice play on words.
 You think that europeans are now as great anti-semites as the poles, or was that a typo?
