How does one find a diplomatic solution with a group of people (used loosely) that want you to die.

[Mr. Mojo]

"but 41% say it should have tried to find a diplomatic solution to the problems there"

Unfathomable ignorance.

[VRWC For Truth]

Ship those who think diplomacy will work to Gaza. Fools.

[deannadurbin]

There ARE no diplomatic solutions with Islamic terrorists. I don’t know what it is going to take before American liberals get that through their thick skulls. Obviously they’ve forgotten 9/11.

[Farmer Dean]

So roughly half of Americans have lost the ability to tell the good guys from the bad guys?That’s how our president elect achieved victory.

[GOPologist]

“...but African-Americans by three-to-one say diplomacy was the better way to go.”

African-Americans are diplomatic——where?

[Canedawg]

“Fifty-six percent (56%) of men support Israel’s military action, compared to 34% of women.”

And more men seemed to vote for a stronger national defense for the US.

[Mojave]

Fifty-five percent (55%) of adults, however, believe the Palestinians are to blame

55%? The MSM will have to ratchet up their propaganda machine to bring that number down.

[capt. norm]

55% to 13% is not what I would call "closely divided".

Sound like the kind of liberal math that concluded Obama won by a landslide.

[Grunthor]

“41% say it should have tried to find a diplomatic solution to the problems there”

How does diplomacy work when the Jawas want one thing? The complete eradication of the jewish race. I mean how DOES one find common ground there?

(sarc)”Israeli PM; We have agreed, in the interest of peace to allow the killing of 3/4’s of our people”(end sarc)

I mean really, does ANYONE outside of the American left really believe that negotiations are likely to produce fruit here?

[Westbrook]

Like it or not, the MSM remain astonishingly effective.

Precious few people, even in the MSM, have read the Hamas Charter. If they had, they would know that Hamas does not seek peace, but rather the destriction of Israel, the eradication of the Jews, and the subjugation and elimination of the "infidels".

Infidel means anybody who isn't the same kind of Moslem as whatever Imams Hamas is following these days.

You can read it here ... http://www.palestinecenter.org/cpap/documents/charter.html...

The Hamas Charter, or at least its most salient points, must be published abroad, far and wide, for all to see.

[tobyhill]

There are two types of people, those who do and those who talk about doing.

[freekitty]

Sometimes I wonder if always spliting the polls right down the middle, this enables the split to continue.

[Beagle8U]

They should poll every one of them first for their political tilt, then do the poll on the Gaza crap.

They would find that the liberal RATS would just love for Israel to be wiped off the map and only Republicans have any support for the Jewish state.

Then they could poll American Jews and ask them why they vote every election for Rat moonbats that hate their guts!

[wardaddy]

the average Gringo does not know jackshite about the Israeli situation in the Middle East.

only what the leftist media innundates them with

any poll that asks the “average American” what they think about anything besides what movie star they most admire is a waste of time

we are stupider than ever at this juncture

[Migraine]

but 41% say it should have tried to find a diplomatic solution to the problems there

Incomprehensible retardation. I don't even want to know those people. We would have no basis for even the simplest forms of communication.

[elhombrelibre]

41% of Americans are so stupid they do not know that diplomatic solutions have been tried, that the PLO and Hamas don't want a diplomatic solution, and that when terrorists rain high explosive rockets down on civilians responsible governments do not wait for negotiations to work to protect their citizenry.

[17th Miss Regt]

...while 13% point the finger at the Israelis.

Those 13% are very closely divided as well. Some 51% of them believe the Palestinians should use carbon monoxide on the Israelis but 49% swear by Zyklon B.

[mulligan]

Only a case of stupidity would believe the answer is more talks.

[TXnMA]

"41% say it should have tried to find a diplomatic solution to the problems there"

41% of the respondents are idiots. WTH do they think Israel has been doing while sitting there and letting the HamasApes pound their populace with shrapnel-loaded rockets?

The only solution to Hamas is their immediate deaths...
