Support for the Israeli government already eroding. No wonder the US is pushing for a cease fire and the Lebanese are rejecting a cease fire that does not satisfy their minimum conditions (Israeli withdrawal, exchange of prisoners, etc.).

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Rising Israeli casualties and constant Hizbollah rocket attacks have eroded public support in Israel for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his defence minister, opinion polls showed on Friday.

"Olmert must go," read the main headline in Israel's left-leaning Haaretz newspaper.

A survey in Haaretz showed 48 percent of Israelis were satisfied with Olmert's performance compared with popularity ratings above 75 percent in the early stages of fighting against the Lebanese guerrilla group.

Public support for Defence Minister Amir Peretz had fallen from 65 percent to 37 percent, the survey showed.
