Fun Online Poll Results: The Middle East Conflict

On a surprisingly high turnout of over two hundred votes in the last four days, the final results are:

All in all, my sympathies lie with ...

The Israelis - 64%
The Palestinians and Hamas - 12%
Neither. They're as bad as each other - 25%

I do not know whether people took this seriously - I admit to having wavered between "The Israelis" and "Neither. They are as bad as each other." - but assuming you did, this confirms my original suspicion that most people have made up their mind one way or another anyway, thus rendering the acres of newsprint and hours of TV footage with which we've been bombarded* over the past fortnight pretty pointless.

BTW, thanks to the 88% of you who don't sympathise with Hamas. A special commendation goes to Charlie B who said he sympathised primarily with the Czechs.

* Deliberately inappropriate choice of word? You decide!
