And Bush saw a huge surge of support after 9/11, even though he was widely unpopular leading up to it and nothing about it objectively reflected well on him. It’s a knee-jerk reaction to being attacked by an outside force.

Or it may have something to do with the fact that Hamas have actually proven willing to actually do something about the genocidal white supremacist settler-colonialist state threatening them with extinction - unlike the Israeli puppets that run the Palestinian Authority.
If Israel actually wanted to rid the area of Hamas, I think humanitarian aid and taking care of the people might have been more persuasive than bombing their families out of existence.
That's a great plan once the hostages have been released.
Agreed. At the very least they could have moved the women and children to safety.
Note: I have nothing against men, and I'm not calling the women weak. I'd say ALL civilians to be inclusive, but I think they could argue that Hamas militants were hiding amongst them (and seperating kids from all their family isn't... ideal)
Implying women are family and fathers are not
Of course, fathers are just breadwinner - that's their only value and purpose. They don't "love" their families. Their lives are meaningless and they are violent terrorists.

We are shocked! Who would have thought.
US backed anything in this is probably going to be a problem for everyone.
Only 10% said they believed Hamas has committed war crimes, with a large majority saying they did not see videos showing the militants committing atrocities.
Jesus Christ.
They have lived in fear under Hamas, but also are not going to side with the people deleting generations of their people from the face of the earth daily.
It's not about 'sides', it's about not believing that Hamas has done things that it is well-recorded and easily found doing.
a yes, bevause they have time and internetbto browser their phone all day
Internet penetration rate in Palestine is upwards of 70%, Jesus Christ
i was talking about gaza
The poll is of people in Gaza and the West Bank.
Hamas had wide support before Oct 7, wide support for the attack, and now wide support under invasion to return the hostages and dismantle Hamas.
Tldr: Hamas was and is supported by the Palestinians.
P.s. I'm kinda curious how they conducted a real survey
