A series of polls published in The Jerusalem Post yesterday indicate that these are not a minority within Israel.
Of 3 polls taken within Israel by Israelis: 1) Panels found 85% of Israelis support the operation, 22% want a ceasefire. 2) Haaretz found 82% support the operation, 19% want a ceasefire. 3) Midgam found 91% support the operation, 22% want a ceasefire.

So I'll ask you nicely, can you please provide your opinion as to the manner in which the Israeli government should respond to incessant missiles attacks from an elected terrorist regime that deliberately sacrifices their own civilains to promote their agenda?
Can you please provide your opinion as to how the Israeli government can possibly respond to Hamas in a diplomatic manner?
The first step would be lifting the blockade so the necessities of life can make their way to Gaza, then both sides would be able to start talking. Palestine has taken the road of diplomacy by trying to become a member state with the UN while Israel considers this hurtful to the peace process and responds with more illegal settlements. Israel is just as guilty when it comes to blocking diplomacy. I know this kind of got off topic but I tried to answer your question.
It is a touchy situation where both sides are wrong at the end of the day, but Israel is just as guilty with their responses. Both sides have a habit of preemptive strikes. So if Hamas is expected to stop throwing rockets, Israel should be prepared to stop the bombing campaign and also reconsider the planned ground invasion.
I don't claim to have all the answers but both sides must compromise.

Supporting the government's decision to defend civilians from missile attacks is not an extremist view, it's a sane point of view. If you were in that situation, would you ask your government to sit back and do nothing while your city was under a barrage of missile attacks?
Furthermore, despite the continuous indiscriminate missile attacks from Hamas, as of yesterday, only 37% of the Israeli population support a ground invasion.

Here we go. Captain Bias is at it again with his selective posts that depict an extreme minority in attempt to brand a people as a whole.
You seriously want to go there?
How about the hundreds of thousands of Islamic extremists that cheered the death of Americans on 911?
How about the hundreds of thousands of Islamic extremists that form rallies annually on their statutory holidays and openly chant "Death to Israel"?
The extremists are wrong regardless of their religious affiliation.
However, if you want compare the number of extremists on both sides of this conflict, it's not even close, and you know it.
You're so predictable, and your agenda is so blatantly obvious, that it's absolutely disgraceful and pathetic.
Keep it up though. You know damn well that there are likeminded anti-Israel members on ATS who will star and flag your BS, and I'm sure that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Good work champ.
