Statistics Garnished With Bible Verses

Israeli Newspaper Haaretz reported on 16.07.10 that according to a poll Most Americans would back Israel attack on Iran. According to TIPP, a polling unit belonging to TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence, it is stated there that 56 percent of Americans would support an Israeli strike to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons. But a visit to TIPP's blog shows that the poll results are presented as simple coloured diagram without any further explanations except a poor number of adults interviewed ... and the real source: Investor Business Daily (IBD). But above all, it should be noted that the diagram comes equipped with a bible verse from the Hebrew Qohelet [the Preacher] or Book of Ecclesiastes (its latinized derivation, verses 3:1 - 3:8) as part of a text of crude war propaganda.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose," the Book of Ecclesiastes says. "A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embracing ... a time of war, and a time of peace."

 The author of the text is stated as the Investor's Business Daily Editorial.

PS:  The  Investor's Business Daily Editorial complained about Obama's health care reform 1 year ago that ""people such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the UK, where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless".

The war against Iran has already started, so the US will desparately need its population backup. See http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/4640052/Israel-launches-covert-war-against-Iran.html
