Almost three in four Palestinians believe the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel was correct, and the ensuing Gaza war has lifted support for the Islamist group both there and in the West Bank, a survey from a respected Palestinian polling institute found.
Watch as the Israeli talking heads wheel out this poll as an excuse for killing Gazan civilians.
That’s the entire point of these polls

No. But even if 100% of the population of Gaza supported Hamas and even the Al Aqsa Flood, that’s still no excuse to kill civilians.
However the Israeli government has given no straight answers, fabricated evidence, and muddied the waters continuously since the 7th of October. It uses every opportunity to distract from and distort the truth. It will also take this as just such an opportunity.I could see it
It’s really disappointing and I can’t help but wonder how much Israel constantly shelling civilians is helping to prop up a shitheel organization like Hamas.
Israel made this monster and I mean that literally. Politicians of Israel openly said Hamas is a useful tool for them. Israel itself funded Hamas.
As long as there is a “monster” there is a justification for an attack. It is genuinely fucking astounding how Israel looked at the treatment of Jews during WW2 and took that as a playbook instead of the most horrific thing to happen in the last century and something that shouldn’t be repeated.
Might be a dumb question but how reliable are polls in non democratic countries engaged in a hot war generally? Personally I’d be scared shitless to state anything than my utmost support for the leadership, anything else could easily get me killed…
Wait, what polls?
“I’m sorry your house got blown up and you lost all of your family members and are going to have your legs amputated, likely without anesthetic or clean supplies, but do you have time for a quick survey?”
Are we allowed to say “both sides” in this situation?
Yeah, I’d do the same in that position. Fuck Israel.
You would roll up to a music festival and murder civilians?
I’d start with learning how to read being you.
3/4 pro terrorism…that’s not exactly ideal.
Israelis are also mostly pro terrorism. Not exactly ideal.
1\4 isn’t, and that’s surprising - with Hamas ruling Gaza and Israeli bombing it.
I mean are you seriously surprised by those results? You can’t kill an idea, you can replace it with a better idea. But with such an indiscriminate bombing and an international community who is still saying that Israel has the high moral ground, they feel betrayed by everyone but Hamas.
I don’t like it either, but I think the majority of the human beings in their situation would react the same? Do you believe that if Israel and Palestine were living in peace and everyone was treated equally and with respect, Hamas would have been a political factor?
They’re betrayed by Hamas above all! Poor Palestinians have a government that’s trying to get them all killed for propaganda
No they’re betrayed by israel and the west which pretend israel is not a Nazi like ethno-state
Ah yes, Israel has nothing to do with the killings
