Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : On Monday 8 June, join Mehdi Hasan and Arwa Mahdawi to discuss the seismic changes in geopolitics, the alarming rise of populism and nationalism, and the global implications.
51% : But, as with Gaza, Israel's reaction goes well beyond self-defence and its stated goal of disarming Hezbollah.
40% : Suspected war crimes happen almost daily as Israel continues its bombardment, which Unicef estimates is killing nearly 14 children a day.
38% : Israel's defence minister, Israel Katz, has called for the indefinite occupation of an area of southern Lebanon, establishing the Litani river as Israel's northern border and forcing the displacement of 600,000 people.
37% : Nothing can justify what Israel is doing in Lebanon.
37% : But many can't find anywhere to stay because Israel has made neighbour afraid of neighbour.
36% : Obviously not: the Iran-backed militia has fired thousands of rockets into northern Israel.
35% : In 2006, my parents were stranded overseas for months because Lebanon and Israel were at war.
35% : Because that is exactly what Israel did in Beirut in March, destroying an 11-storey building full of engineers, doctors and teachers with an unsubstantiated accusation about hidden money.
29% : Lebanon has accused Israel of ecocide.
29% : Ask yourself this: if Israel bombed a residential building in Paris because it claimed, without evidence, that Hezbollah money was in the basement, would you be outraged?
24% : D is not the only one afraid: some have warned that public anger over Hezbollah's decision to enter the war with Israel, dragging Lebanon's citizens with it, could lead to more internal conflict- which Israel would benefit from and, some have argued, may be hoping to incite.
