The largest numbers in most groups answered do not know/prefer not to answer for the "which group do you side with" question. Probably some people don't have an opinion out of ignorance or a fear of answering, others are truly neutral (aware but none of my business) and others are antipathicly neutral like you say.

Clearly more Canadians who have an opinion side with Israel over Hamas, regardless of your opinion.
I wasn't taking issue with the poll, or the article. It was Pepper's incorrect summary sentence, which I bolded to indicate that was what I was speaking to. This sentence is not what the article or polls say.

Poll shows most Canadians, but not youth, support Israel

To me, it shows Pepper is either pushing an incorrect narrative on purpose, or has poor reading comprehension.
