It makes me question what culpability a nation has with the actions of its government. If "let the politicians run politics" or (they're a mean mob so we don't risk putting up a fight) is the thought of the citizens and then a war is started, as civilians are we indemnified or responsible?
It is a sobering truth -- but an objective truth -- that many Palestinians simply want to kill Israelis/Westerners.

Below copied from page 25 of the document you linked:
Q70) Concerning armed attacks against Israeli civilians inside Israel, I.... Total West Bank Gaza Strip 1) Strongly support 23% 16% 34% 2) support 34% 32% 36% 3) oppose 27% 34% 17% 4) Strongly oppose 11% 10% 12% 5) DK/NA 11% 10% 12%
It is notable that "Strongly support" is twice as high in the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli military has built a wall around it and has maintained an indefinite ongoing land, sea, and air blockade on since 2007.
The category Strongly support and support (as opposed to the next category, oppose) are 34%+36%, which sum to 70%.
