Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Siege law includes a humanitarian aspect: International law requires that Israel facilitate the passage of food and medicine by third parties, but only if such goods can be reliably delivered without diversion to Hamas and without fear the goods will give Hamas an economic and military boost.
58% : So it would be unthinkable for Israel to place humanitarian workers in Gaza or allow aid to reach Hamas.
50% : Both the Geneva and Hague conventions include instructions on conducting sieges under international law, recognizing they may be effective tools for bringing a conflict to a rapid and successful end.
42% : Hamas-controlled institutions, from the Gaza "health ministry" to Gazan "human rights" organizations, together with their Western allies in the United Nations and European Union, insist Israel has no legal right to besiege Gaza and is legally responsible for the price ordinary Palestinians are paying for Hamas' actions.
34% : International pressure demanding Israel provide terrorists with electricity and other goods is absurd and without basis in international law.
29% : Unsurprisingly, the terrorists' propaganda machine is working overtime accusing Israel of violating international law.
