Seventy-eight percent of Americans blame both Israelis and Palestinians for the breakdown of the peace process, according to a new poll. Some 12 percent blame only the Palestinians; and 4 percent blame only the Israelis, according to the poll of 1,000 likely American voters commissioned by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and conducted by Zogby International. Eighteen percent of those polled have a favorable impression of Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, while 29 percent have a favorable impression of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
