To look at the survey:
http://www.peacenow.org/nia/pr/aaiapnpoll.pdf
(bear in mind that the date at the top of the document, which says July 2002 should say 2003)
While the 'Pro-Israel' Lobby in the US is very vocal and tries to (and does a pretty good job) of projecting as truth the falacy that they are the legitimate spokespeople for the American Jewish community, of a unified Jewish front with the whole American Jewish community behind them, and that the Arab American communities are rabidly against any form of practical solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the actual situation is much more complex, tending quite heavily towards the contrary.
If anything, it is these lobbyists who are the extremist minority...
