When Gallup polled Americans on Gaza

Just look at the phraseology.  Israel's actions are directed--according to the question--"against Hamas", while Hamas' actions are directed "against Israel".  So Hamas' actions are directed against the whole of Israel while the actions of Israel are--surgically I am sure--only directed against Hamas.  It should have been, if you want to be fair or symmetrical, phrased as Hamas' actions against Likud, or Israel's actions against Palestine. You can't chose different criteria for the same question when applied to one side.
