One answer repeats when people on the street are asked about Israel in Gaza.

In a survey conducted by Epinion for DR, 35 percent of Danes were undecided or declined to answer whether they believe Israel has gone too far in its military operations in Gaza.

People we met on the street were eager to share their opinions on Israel's warfare in Gaza. 15 minutes ago

Has Israel gone too far in its military operations in Gaza? Or has it not gone far enough?

Over a thousand people were asked this question in a survey conducted by Epinion for DR News.

However, over a third - 35 percent - answered either "don't know" or "declined to answer" to the question.

According to Professor Michael Bang Petersen, who researches political psychology and conflicts at Aarhus University, this is a "surprisingly high number." He points to the fact that the debate about the war is a topic that many do not wish to engage in.

However, DR's reporter attempted to gather more perspectives by asking people in Kongens Lyngby about the same question.

- It's amazing how many contradictory descriptions we hear, says lawyer Torben Petersen.

- It can certainly seem disproportionate that the type of warfare that has been chosen to be carried out in Gaza should result in so many civilian casualties.

According to the UN, many civilians have lost their lives in the conflict. Israel, however, points to the fact that the targets of their attacks are members of Hamas.

The conflict was triggered by a terrorist attack from Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people according to Israeli authorities.

- I don't think there is any justice in the fact that what happened to that terrible festival is being defended by what is happening now, says church worker Lise Mortensen, referring to the festivalgoers who lost their lives in the terrorist attack on the Nova Festival.
