| [MSN -TheTelegraph] An overwhelming majority of Israelis believe that Benjamin Netanyahu is responsible for the deadly Hamas attacks. ‌A total of 80 per cent said the prime minister should publicly accept the blame for the failures that led to the deaths of at least 1,400 Israelis on the deadliest day in the country’s 75-year-old history. The figure includes 69 per cent of those who voted for the premier’s Likud party in last year’s election. Just eight per cent of the public think Mr Netanyahu is not responsible.‌ Israelis have been fiercely divided over the state response to the terror attacks on Oct 7, but these new figures suggest a united opposition to Mr Netanyahu. Critics argue that Mr Netanyahu largely ignored military provocation from Hamas since the last major Israeli ground incursion of 2014, and has simultaneously allowed huge sums of cash to flow into Gaza. Others say that the ongoing corruption scandal that has plagued Mr Netanyahu distracted him from keeping the country secure. Opening the Knesset’s winter session last week, Mr Netanyahu said there were "many questions surrounding the disaster that befell us 10 days ago" and promised they would be investigated in "every aspect" after the current military mission was completed. Mr Netanyahu’s coalition partner, finance minister Bezalel Smotrich, said the government leadership and security leadership had failed to protect the country but the premier himself has yet to make a clear statement of responsibility. Israeli politicians have described the attacks as "the greatest failure in the history of Israel".

| #6 I believe we have seen 'polling' used as a disinformation and consensus building tool. Group Think is alive and well. |

| #5 MSM don't even poll anymore. They just make up stuff and write it in a way so as to sound plausible to their dumb audience. |

| #2 The blame goes all the way back to 1967 for discouraging, instead of encouraging, Arabs flight from Gaza. And then where was the Oslo process. |
