And a poll conducted by Channel 2, a major news network, is most certainly a valid poll.
But nice try.

You completely missed the point of the blog. Do you really want me to look up statistics on Israeli casualties on the ground in Gaza in the years prior to December 2003? Because they are not pretty. The author's point concerning the years immediately preceding withdrawal, however, is that withdrawal served to prevent Israeli deaths. Which the statistics demonstrate.
This "test case" scenario you have fabricated is complete baloney, and even Israeli right-wing politicians and pundits who supported the withdrawal do not subscribe to this revisionist hogwash.
