I'm always skeptical of articles that don't link the poll results directly. For all we know, the poll question could be something like "on a scale of 1-10, how much responsibility does such and such bear" with them counting anything a 2 and above as saying that party is to blame.

Anyone have a link to the actual poll results?

I'm digging around on this, and what I am finding is sorely lacking.

Everyone is referencing a "Dialog Center poll [or survey] released Thursday," and most reporting refers back to this JPost article. Nobody links to the report. Nobody links generally to any "Dialog Center."

The only "Dialog Center" that I can find is Dialog Center International, which is described as "a Christian counter-cult organization." And its website/domain (according to Wikipedia) is not even registered.

So we have JPost referencing a poll taken by an organization which - so far as I can tell - may or may not even exist. This is propaganda.

Isreali citizens are pretty discreet on the social networks regarding critics about their gov. We don't see them going in Jerusalem or Haifa demonstrating against this fucking massacre.

Of course not, they feel and by evidence superior to us, mere mortals.
