these reports about support within israel seem to me elements of the marketing of the war itself.
manipulated polling functions to give the impression of unanimity, which in turn functions to marginalize dissent.
if you read haaretz or even the jerusalem post, you see a very different picture--much more fractured.
but across the board, we should not underestimate the sophistication of the israeli media correlate of the gaza action.
anything goes if you control the frame of reference through which that anything is parsed.
