AddReply(327982,"Steve:  Polls are nonsense.  anti-Jewish media use them against us. ","Velvel","silver spring","07/27/08","psyops.   They are using every weapon in their arsenal to not only fight Jews but to deceive them as well.  Convince a Jew that all his neighbors support the idea to give away half of Jerusalem, and he will think well I guess everybody else wants this.  And the idea will gain steam and passivity will grow.  This is part of the purpose behind news media presenting a poll like this:  Look JEW, 80% of your brothers support national suicide!   How can you be so blind and so \'extremist\' and so \'war mongering\' to not also get on the bandwagon!   Just accept our peace-messiah.  You rejected yoshka but Accept our Oslo-peace messiah, or our Obama-peace-messiah, how about our disengagement peace-messiah.\n\n\nSteve, pollsters are more aptly termed Spinsters.   I\'ve seen a talk by an actual pollster where he openly bragged that the pollster is able to generate the desired response by phrasing the question a certain way.    And he demonstrated it.\n\nLet\'s look at the spin in this case:\n\nThey are asking a HYPOTHETICAL question based on a fantasy.    A \"final and lasting peace\"    MOST Israelis would agree to ANYTHING that brings that about.   (I don\'t agree with this, and I personally would cede not a centimeter of land in any circumstance due to the massive chillul hashem, silly and idiotic nature of suicidal landgive-aways that no sane country does, and the sinful nature, and because I KNOW there can\'t be peace with arabs but...  ).   They will of course say yes.  Just fill in the blank.      Some wouldn\'t even agree to that or think it\'s a bad idea etc, but WOULD SAY YES to that question asked by a pollster.   It\'s almost like asking \'would you support peace instead of war?\'     It appeals to the emotions.  It makes the person feel like a villain if they don\'t answer a certain way.  Even if they don\'t agree they will say yes.    This is the spin of this poll.   It\'s very obvious.    What if they did a followup question, do you think \"lasting and final peace\" is really possible?  Would 90% say no?   How about \"without a miracle straight from heaven, is \'true and final peace\' possible?\"   95% would say no?   What does it then say about the initial question.  Israelis are deceived by polls, then they are pushed in the mass media to make court Jews and court-Jew-american-Jewish-establishment bolder in their pushes for \"peace\" and Israeli Jews more passive and fatalistic on the subject.   It\'s a big psyop.");

Prominent politicians and celebrities visit the Kotel and put notes there all the time;  and to the best of my knowledge, this is the very first time anyone has ever had the chutzpa to pull out such a note and publish it.  In fact, at least two of the very examples you mention -- John McCain (not on his most recent visit) and Michael Jackson -- *have*, in fact, visited the kotel and put in notes.  And nobody pulled them out and published them.  So this actually serves to suggest the very opposite of what you\'re saying.\n\nI don\'t know what that yeshiva\'s guy\'s intent was, exactly, in trying to get Obama\'s note publicized.  I am by no means a fan of Obama, and I plan to vote against him.  Nevertheless, I have to say this:  If this was indeed a personal message that Obama expected no one but God to see -- and the very precedents you cite suggest that this *is* the case -- then it indicates a profound humbleness and humility before God, as well as a genuine personal striving to be a good and just person.  It reflects very positively on Obama, and has improved my image of him.  If the intent of the yeshiva guy was to somehow embarass Obama, then I would say that he has achieved the exact opposite.\n\nI\'m not saying you should endorse the guy.  Like you, I don\'t think he\'s good for us.  But you ought to be more dan l\'kaf zechut.\n");
