Poll finds dramatic rise in Palestinian support for Hamas (2021)

Key bits: "A new poll released Tuesday finds a dramatic surge in Palestinian support for Hamas following last month’s Gaza war"; "The poll found that 53% of Palestinians believe Hamas is “most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people,” while only 14% prefer Abbas’ secular Fatah party."

More at source.

Which means they’re not innocent of Oct. 7. You don’t have to have actual blood on your hands to take part in a murder.

Head pollster Khalil Shikaki, who has been surveying Palestinian public opinion for more than two decades, called it a “dramatic” shift, but said it also resembles previous swings toward Hamas during times of confrontation. Those all dissipated within three to six months as Hamas failed to deliver on promises of change.

🤔🤔🤔

I said at the onset of the Israeli retaliation that the best and brightest move the residents of Gaza could make to save their miserable hides would be to simply repudiate HAMASS. HAMASS is vermin and deserving of annihilation.

Apparently a majority of Gazans want to be held in the same regard. They earn their fate.

Apparently a majority of Gazans want to be held in the same regard.

That was from 2021.

More recent polling found the people turning on Hamas (to be expected when they're getting blown to shiteree and shot by Hamas when trying to escape).

But... poetic justice.

They blanked around and found out the cost of that support.

Hamas has been running the schools in Gaza and their indoctrination program has been heaven on Jewish hatred and of course pro fanatical Islamic teachings. There are a lot of independent articles and watch dog groups saying how bad the indoctrination programs are. My favorite are the preschool TV programs like Tomorrow’s Pioneers, similar to Sesame Street, that is full of anti Jew, anti west, martyrdom, and killing enemies. Lovely 😡.

So it is no surprise how much love and support Hamas gets and how hated everyone not Muslim is in Gaza. FAFO and my sympathy is not there for the LCD supporters of Hamas. By extension the PLO are included.

So much for all Hamas is Palestinian but not all Palestinian is Hamas. Turn Gaza into open desert as a reminder to the world.

Worth two minutes of time.

[UnwashedPeasant]

This was a survey of “1,200 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.” So the Arabs in the West Bank also strongly support Hamas.

[DoughtyOne]

I don’t believe this.

Tell me the people in Gaza are happy about what Hamas brought down on them.

Nope…

[Uncle Miltie]

Note the date.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks Uncle Miltie. I did miss it.

Head pollster Khalil Shikaki,

**********************************************************

So, I wonder if “Khalil Shikaki” is himself a Hamas supporter. We know AP is and at least half the democrats have no problem cutting baby’s heads off, putting baby’s in ovens, raping women and children, including boys, and shooting old people point blank.
