MSNBC has this article on the capture of two Israeli soldiers, as is being discussed in LBN.

There is a live vote poll on the second page of this article too! Please DU IT

Is the Israeli offensive a proper response to the kidnapping of Israel's soldiers? * 6081 responses

Yes. It underscores the gravity of the situation for the Israelis and the lengths they'll go to to ensure the security of the country's borders
77%

No. So much for "proportional response." The Israeli attacks are a heavy-handed action whose deadly consequences are only making matters in the region worse.

3. Uhhh, DU is pretty divided on this issue.

I don't think you're going to get a universal response. If the first option wasn't so poorly worded and vague I'd probably vote for that. (I'm assuming you want us to vote for the second option)

5. I agree

I don't think there's such a thing as "DU this poll" for this one. I guarantee we're very split on this issue.

6. Locking

From DU's rules.

Due to continuing problems, discussion of Israeli/Palestinian issues is limited to the Israel/Palestine forum, and is governed by a special set of rules which are available in that forum. If a discussion is primarily about US policy in Israeli/Palestinian affairs, it is sometimes allowed in other forums. Discussion of other Middle East issues is also sometimes allowed. If a thread is on a different topic, but later goes off-topic and becomes a discussion of Israeli/Palestinian issues, the moderators may move the thread to the Israel/Palestine forum.

From the I/P guidelines

New threads must be based on a recently-published news item or op-ed piece. They may not be based on editorial cartoons or photographs. Citations and references should include a link to the original source. Exceptions will be allowed if, based on prior approval, the moderators feel a thread is appropriate.
