The @ArabCenterWDC released its the annual Arab Opinion Index yesterday which surveys 18,000 respondents across 11 different Arab countries making it the largest in the Arab world. Will thread some of the results.....
@ArabCenterWDC The poll surveyed respondents in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Tunisia on various questions including on US foreign policy and Palestine
@ArabCenterWDC Not surprisingly, US foreign policy is not very popular. 
@ArabCenterWDC Arab views on US Foreign policy have also significant worsened in recent years. We can call this the Trump effect.
@ArabCenterWDC Lots of US policies are unpopular in the Arab world but none more than US policy toward Palestine (i.e. support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians)
@ArabCenterWDC Similarly, respondents continue to identify Israel as the primary threat to their security followed by the United States, then Iran, then Russia.
@ArabCenterWDC Respondents also overwhelmingly view the Palestinian cause as a cause that concerns all Arabs and not just Palestinians
@ArabCenterWDC There is also overwhelming opposition by respondents to the idea of their country recognizing Israel
@ArabCenterWDC The reasons for opposing recognition of Israel are overwhelmingly Israeli policies toward Palestinians and other Arabs.
@ArabCenterWDC The bottom line from this poll is that Arab publics oppose relations with Israel while it continues to stand on the necks of Palestinians. This of course runs contrary to all of the baloney we hear about Trump's Ultimate Deal and the New Middle East.
@ArabCenterWDC If Arab dictators cozy up to Israel, it is not because their people support it but rather because they, like the Israeli state, have a shared interest in silencing dissent and denying human rights.
