Fifty-two percent of Gazans and 85% of West Bank respondents - or 72% of Palestinian respondents overall - voiced satisfaction with the role of Hamas in the war.
These numbers under a highly repressive authoritarian government.
Also, let’s not forget the protests against Hamas in Gaza that were going on in August, 2023.
I mean it went from 53% for armed struggle before to 63% after… it was only after they got their ass whooped that they all of sudden wanted peaceful negotiations and the armed struggle demographic went down
And support for Hamas went from 22% up to 43%, after the attack. Thank you for proving my point further
Edit: how the fuck did this get downvoted hahahaha can you people not read simple charts? Support for Hamas WENT UP AFTER OCT 7 - y’all for real stupid af lol
