Poll: Americans Justify Israel's Gaza Operation
[Ynet News] Itzhak Benhorin - As long as Palestinians don't release captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and continue to launch rockets at Israeli population centers, Americans support IDF operations in Gaza, a new poll initiated by The Israel Project revealed. 54 percent identified themselves as pro-Israel, while only 8 percent identified themselves as pro-Palestinian. In response to the question, "what should Israel do if Palestinians keep launching rockets on civilian population centers?" 61 percent said it behooves Israel to defend its citizens, even if this means taking military actions in Palestinian territory.
