This is what's always so annoying about talking to people who don't know how to gather information. You assume that the things we're saying are on the same playing field. You express your feelings-based opinions, you assume I'm doing the same, we disagree, and you leave the conversation thinking we've just had a difference of opinion.

No, you are wrong.

For example, in a January poll, researchers found that only 3% (3%!!!!!) of Israeli Jews thought the Israel's military was using too much force in Gaza. With 43.4% saying it wasn't enough.

50% "very much opposed" the establishment of a Palestinian state, with another 16.3% somewhat opposing it.

65.7% "very much opposed" a bi-national one-state solution, where Jews and Arabs would share all the land and live side by side with equal rights, with another 18.3% somewhat opposing it.

So yes, I think I have a pretty good sense of what "most Zionists" think.

And bear in mind, this is a survey of Israelis in general. I don't know what percentage of these people hold views that would properly be considered Zionist. So if you're sampling Zionists alone, the extreme views will represent a larger percentage of that group.

Hamas have no interest in actually governing Gaza. There's no issue of trusting them. They simply want to overthrow the occupation and destroy Israel. No serious person is suggesting putting them in charge. Are you seriously going to make me point out, yet again, that Hamas wouldn't exist, and certainly wouldn't be in power, if not for Netanyahu's desire to undermine peaceful attempts to build a Palestinian state?
