=== Polls Show Support for Netanyahu (03:30) ===

[00:00:00]  So, new polls in Israel show a majority of Israelis back Netanyahu on going into Gaza, and they oppose the protests.
[00:00:14]  It's so interesting how the left tells us democracy, democracy, democracy.
[00:00:19]  Then there is a democracy, and it comes out with a result that they don't want.
[00:00:26]  And then it's fascism.
[00:00:30]  It's quite remarkable.
[00:00:36]  Israelis are torn because everybody knows somebody who knows a hostage.
[00:00:42]  It's a small country.
[00:00:46]  And still they're against the protests.
[00:00:49]  Make a deal so that the hostages come back.
[00:00:57]  I'll tell you personally, I am...
[00:01:00]  I am mystified by the fact that Hamas does not want to make a deal.
[00:01:06]  You would think that Hamas would say, yeah, okay, we'll give you your hostages.
[00:01:10]  Stop fighting us.
[00:01:14]  So they must not think they're losing.
[00:01:19]  I'd love to ask some scholars or some foreign office people in Israel.
[00:01:25]  I don't get it.
[00:01:30]  Why do they want the fight to continue?
[00:01:34]  They have no use for the hostages except as a way to have Israel stop fighting.
[00:01:40]  They could then even perhaps claim victory.
[00:01:43]  The world is sending in billions of dollars after all.
[00:01:50]  Wow.
[00:01:51]  This is from the Jewish News Service.
[00:01:54]  The Israeli politicians...
[00:01:57]  Positions are supported not only by coalition voters, but by about a third of the opposition voters, according to this survey.
[00:02:08]  An overwhelming majority of Israelis support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's negotiation positions regarding a hostage deal with Hamas and oppose anti-government demonstrations in Tel Aviv demanding an immediate deal at any price.
[00:02:26]  According to a new in-depth JNS Jewish News Service poll.
[00:02:33]  Again, I don't know what to say about polls, but I am reporting to you this.
[00:02:41]  He does get re-elected.
[00:02:43]  I mean, that is a fact.
[00:02:46]  It is also a fact that nobody likes to cite that the Israeli opposition on the left has said that they would do the exact same thing in Gaza.
[00:02:56]  So the notion that it's Netanyahu's war, when it would be the opposition's war if they were in power, is not entirely intellectually honest, shall we say.
[00:03:12]  Direct polls conducted the survey on Monday, both before and after the Prime Minister's press conference, finding a significant majority in Netanyahu's favor.

=== Left's Hate Parallel (00:55) ===

[00:03:25]  In the latter sampling.
[00:03:27]  So there's such a parallel here.
[00:03:30]  We have Trump, they have Netanyahu.
[00:03:32]  The left hates Trump, the left hates Netanyahu.
[00:03:35]  The same left hates both.
[00:03:38]  The people in this country who hate Trump hate Netanyahu.
[00:03:43]  You saw the number of Democrats who wouldn't even show up at his speech.
[00:03:49]  But what do they hate about him?
[00:03:54]  Really?
[00:03:55]  What do they hate about?
[00:03:56]  What do they hate about Netanyahu?
[00:03:59]  Other than the fact that he's on the right and he has power.
[00:04:03]  Can you name anyone on the right that they don't hate?
[00:04:07]  Oh, that is a trick question.
