Poll: Israel and US labelled biggest threats to World peace
(EUOBSERVER, 30 October 2003)
Over half of Europeans think that Israel now presents the biggest threat to world peace according to a controversial poll requested by the European Commission. . . . According to the same survey, Europeans believe the United States contributes the most to world instability along with Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and North Korea. . . . The European Commission is coming under fire for publishing the results of a number of questions - relating to Iraqi reconstruction - while failing to publish the results which revealed the extent of mistrust of Israel and the United States in Europe. . . . a decision was made to publish a preview of the questions pertaining to the reconstruction of Iraq, to coincide with the Iraqi donors conference in Madrid, which took place at the end of last week. . . . This admission has raised questions about whether the Commission sought to suppress the results which would have came at a particularly sensitive moment. . . . According to El Pais, a massive 59 percent of Europeans said they believed that Israel is the biggest obstacle to world peace.
