Does "not sympathetic" equate to wanting them all killed?
Because that seems to be the spin.

Good question. It all depends on how the questions are phrased. For example,
- Do you think Israel has a right to defend itself against terrorism?
vs.
- Do you think Israel has gone too far with their attacks in Gaza?
The second question will show less “sympathy” for Israel. And I’m betting these polling questions will lean more towards the second type.
