Over 90 percent of Jewish Israelis believe Operation Protective Edge is justified, with less than 4% saying they think Israeli has used excessive firepower against targets in the Gaza Strip
With regard to the prospect of a ceasefire, about 80% of respondents voiced their opposition to a unilateral Israeli ceasefire lasting 48 hours and continuing for a longer period of time if rocket fire stops. Most — about 65% — also said they would not support an immediate ceasefire in order to discuss terms for a longer-term truce. Most participants, just over 60%, said they would agree to a ceasefire only if an agreement were reached on conditions for sustaining quiet on the Gaza border.
“A quiet gaza border” means they want to return to the pre-Oct 7th siege of Gaza. These people are not left, they just want the eradication of the Palestinian people to happen quietly and politely.
While I try to discuss the current political pressures and a ceasefire, you position your view of history. I’ve given upon that, since those people that tend to do this simply don’t know that much about it, and what is the end conclusion? More war? Less progress for sure.

Where is your “Israeli left”?
Your poll is from 2014 about a different operation.
Oh whoops. Good catch.
Here’s one from 2 months ago that’s no less bloodthirsty: https://www.timesofisrael.com/poll-half-of-jewish-israelis-say-israel-should-run-gaza-after-the-war-0-say-hamas/
In the streets and in the cabinet.
Just because Israelis don’t follow your definitions of justification, doesn’t mean they don’t want to end it.
An example would be Afghanistan. Americans thought the invasion of Afghanistan was justified. They also wanted to end it.
