Well, I guess we can put the lie to this statement.

At this point, the Israeli public are not in favor of a ceasefire. An unprecedented 87% of the public is opposed to a ceasefire, with 67% of the public believing that the only goal of the project is to end the rule of Hamas in Gaza. I can not think of any time in Israel’s history, since the ’73 Yom Kippur War, that the Israeli public was as united. This is despite what, for Israel, has been the heavy loss of life over 40 soldiers have died. 19 days of running in to the shelters has convinced the Israeli public that the only solution is to end the rule of Hamas in Gaza.
