Here are the results of my informal and non-scientific poll:<\/p>\n

Respondants who support Israel and think current level of force is appropriate:
Arch-Conservative English teacher, Proprietor of this blog.
Conservative Canadian English teacher, eh.
Liberal Democrat English teacher with tattoos, greatly admires Bill Clinton.
Aging Liberal English Teacher, balding with ponytail, greatly admires Jimmy Carter.<\/p>\n

Respondants who do not support Israel, think current level of force is too much:
[crickets]<\/p>\n

Respondants who will not commit to a position:
Fellow who said “the last I heard, the Ginza strip was given to the… Palestinians?”
Fellow who said “kill them all, let God sort them out.”<\/p>\n

So across the political spectrum, it’s 4-0 in favor of Israel, with two abstentions.<\/p>\n
