Just 10% of Israelis said the operation should not happen "in any circumstances," while 49% say the operation should proceed "in any circumstances," and 33% said it should occur under certain conditions, according to a poll commissioned by "Globes," an Israeli newspaper.

The survey took place last week. Want to bet that number is even higher now after Chuck Schumer's call for regime change in Jerusalem?

Biden and his team are seriously miscalculating the political situation in Israel. Netanyahu isn't driving these decisions -- he's riding a vast consensus in Israel that Hamas and the Gazans have to be defeated in order for Israelis to survive. Benny Gantz would have the same mandate, and would do exactly what Netanyahu's doing right now.
