Americans, while far more sympathetic to Israel than the Palestinians, are closely divided over whether the Jewish state should be taking military action against militants in the Gaza Strip.
Forty-four percent (44%) say Israel should have taken military action against the Palestinians, but 41% say it should have tried to find a diplomatic solution to the problems there, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided.
Fifty-five percent (55%) of adults, however, believe the Palestinians are to blame for the current situation in Gaza, while 13% point the finger at the Israelis. Nearly one-third (32%) arent sure.
Men are far more sympathetic to the Israelis than women. Fifty-six percent (56%) of men support Israels military action, compared to 34% of women. Whites narrowly give the edge to military action, but African-Americans by three-to-one say diplomacy was the better way to go.

Cause most of the sheeple are ignorant putz!
After 40 some years of attacks its about time for Israel to take the gloves off and clean out the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian commoner justs wants a job and a home. The politics there force many to support the Hamas movement but their heart is not in it. If it were there would be a million men on the Gaza Israel border.
I support Israel’s response to the rocket attacks and wish them success.
African Americans better practice diplomacy at home before they lecture Isreal to practice diplomacy. Consider that African Americans are disproportionally involved in crime than all the ethnic groups in US. Example, can I have your money, will not negotiate for it because with my handgun I will kill you and take it from you!!!!
Title should read: 41% of Americans are certifiable numbskulls

I strongly doubt that they’ve changed it since the founding of Hamas.
It’s not like software.

They have been trying to find a dipolmatic solution for years. I can’t believe the number of people who think they should. It is impossible for diplomatic with maniacs who just want you dead.
