POLL: AMERICANS SUPPORT IDF'S GAZA OPERATION

Poll: Americans Justify Israel's Gaza Operation - Itzhak Benhorin (Ynet News)
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% identified themselves as pro-Israel, while only 8% identified themselves as pro-Palestinian. In response to the question, "what should Israel do if Palestinians keep launching rockets on civilian population centers?" 61% said it behooves Israel to defend its citizens, even if this means taking military actions in Palestinian territory.
