(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Canadian adults are split in their assessment of the recent conflict in Gaza, according to a poll by Angus Reid Strategies.
36 per cent of respondents believe Israel’s military actions in Gaza were justified...
41 per cent believe Israel’s military actions were unjustified.
More than 40 per cent of respondents believe Israel did not try to limit the number of civilian casualties
in the conflict and did not exhaust all diplomatic options before launching military action.

Andrew's Note:
Polling in Canada and Britain consistently shows a more critical perspective on Israel's role than obtains in the United States...
Why?
Americans less anti-semitic?
Americans more Evangelical and tend to see Israel as central to Divine plan?
US Big Media more evenly Zionist ?
Can - UK Imperialist Media less monochrome in its reporting?
US-Israel Military Alliance?
Relative Strength of Pro-Israel Lobbies in the different Countries?
What accounts for the marked ideological difference?
