One trend Ive noticed, a greater porportion of Israel supporters are older. I attributed that to the propaganda fed for decades on US news networks. The last bastion of that is Fox News.

This is a cop out argument, no more valid than saying, oh, all those supporting the Palestinians are just a bunch of liberalistsand green peacers.
I might be older, but I don't watch Fox, nor do I watch CNN. I read as many sources as I can and form my opinion with the information I gather. I like to think of myself as a social conservative.
Comparing the death count really adds nothing to the argument, other than to say, there is a lot of suffering going on and a lot have died.
And the other thing you have to keep in mind is just because one supports Israel does not mean one does not support the Palestinians as well. It is Hamas or any other terrorist organization that I have no use for.
There have been grievances on both sides, nobody is 100% right or 100% wrong.
