A new telephone poll released by the Dahaf institute shows that almost two-thirds of the respondents are against the cease fire without a return of the kidnapped IDF soldiers. Forty-one percent think Prime Minister Ehud Olmert should resign.

More than half of the people surveyed said the government performed satisfactorily during the war, but 63 percent of the people gave bad marks to Defense Minister Amir Peretz.

Two-thirds want a governmental commission to investigate the management of the army and the government. The respondents were split on their perceptions of who won the war, with one-third giving Israel the victory, another third saying Hizbullah won and the remainder saying they did not know.

This shows that the Israeli public gets it. To bad the members of Knesset don't.
