What kind of "state" can be built on a tiny, narrow strip of land populated with 1 million plus mostly crammed in refugees? What does that even mean anyways, that israelis support "peace talks" with gaza? Are the israelis willing to loosen the boot currently on the necks of the Gazan civilian population in exchange for not one rocket being fired over the boundary line? I don't know precisely what Israel hopes to achieve by strangulating Gaza the way it is, but one thing I can say for certain is that the Israelis aren't interested in peace - not the government nor the people.

Are these the same people who elected this far-right government? Are they the same people who cheered when Gaza was being destroyed? I think you'd better redo your poll--sounds like bunk. 57 percent of Israelis want to talk peace with Hamas? Are these the same people who elected this far-right government?
