Agree or Disagree: Before a two-state solution can work and peace be realized in the Middle East, the Palestinians need to stop their missile attacks against Israel. (The Israel Project National Survey, March 2008)
Agree or Disagree: Just as the US would defend itself if rockets were fired at our cities on a daily basis, Israel must defend itself and take action to end the terrorism. (The Israel Project National Survey, March 2008)
Agree or Disagree: Hamas is purposely putting its civilian population in harm's way by using them as human shields when they attack Israel. (The Israel Project National Survey, March 2008)
Agree or Disagree: Israel has used military force against the Palestinians indiscriminately, resulting in many needless civilian deaths. (The Israel Project National Survey, March 2008)
Agree or Disagree: Because Hamas uses civilian shields, Israel cannot be blamed when Palestinian civilians become casualties when Israel attacks the terrorists. (The Israel Project National Survey, March 2008)
Agree or Disagree: If nothing else works to stop the missile attacks against Israel from Gaza, Israel should use their military to re-occupy Gaza. (The Israel Project National Survey, March 2008)
