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.

          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.

    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.

    Most Palestinians alive today were born into what is practically an open-air prison that is cordoned off by Israel. Being oppressed is all they have known. Its obvious that they hate their colonisers. And all these bombings will only fuel that hatred.
