Selective reporting

Ben Smith writes in Politico.com that "a new, annual survey of American Jewish public opinion by the American Jewish Committee finds that Jews, by and large, continue to approve of Obama — 57 percent say they approve of the job he's doing — and also back his handling of Israel."

If one clicks on the survey, one will see that a slightly larger majority approve Netanyahu's handling of U.S. Israel relations.

Confusing to me was why a majority of 48% surveyed support the creation of a Palestinian state when the answer to question 10 was as follows.

10. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? “The goal of the Arabs is not the return of occupied territories but rather the destruction of Israel.”
Agree
75
Disagree
20
Not Sure
5
