The findings by a Palestinian pollster signal more difficulties ahead for the Biden administration’s postwar vision for Gaza and raise questions about Israel’s stated goal of ending Hamas’ military and governing capabilities.

Washington has called for the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority, currently led by Abbas, to eventually assume control of Gaza and run both territories as a precursor to statehood. U.S. officials have said the PA must be revitalized, without letting on whether this would mean leadership changes.

The PA administers pockets of the Israeli-occupied West Bank and has governed Gaza until a takeover by Hamas militants in 2007. The Palestinians have not held elections since 2006 when Hamas won a parliamentary majority.

If you’re going to back a terrorist group, I don’t much care if you get bombed along with them.

Of course they're going to support Hamas. The terrorist cell are the only ones even remotely in the corner of the Palestinians who were first being Apartheid-level oppressed by the Israeli government, and now are getting absolutely smoked by the IDF.

'Desperate' does not even begin to describe the situation of Palestinian civilians. If you were in the same position, and the only people fighting for you is a terrorist cell, I doubt you'd be that moralistic either.

hamas doesn't fight for gaza civilians.

they steal humanitarian aid from them, use them as human shields, and caused this catastrophe upon them.

And the Israeli government has been doing far, far worse.

Stealing humanitarian aid? The IDF have been straight up bombing refugee camps that they themselves told Palestinians to go to. Not to mention, the Israeli government is directly the reason why humanitarian aid needed to be sent there in the first place, having cut off essential supplies to Gaza.

Using them as human shields? The IDF is performing straight up genocides.

Hostages? The IDF have been doing the same for decades. They literally process Palestinians via a seperate IDF-run court for any and all 'offences'. The conditions they are held in are little better than that of the hostages held by Hamas, but they hold far greater numbers.

Caused this catastrophe upon them? I don't know what part of Hamas's actions you think somehow warrant straight up genocide of Palestinian civilians, but you're wrong.

Hamas are a bunch of shit heads, but they're also the only people that can and will push back against the IDF for its abuses of the Palestinian people.

Again, given the insane amount of deplorable shit the Israeli government puts the Palestinians through, it isn't surprising that they will support shitheads like Hamas. It's basically a choice between the Apartheid level oppressors or a shit head terrorist cell fighting against the Apartheid level oppressors.

propoganda, fake news, half truths, and bias.

also hamas are not a "bunch of shit heads". they were voted democratically to end Israel existance.

They were voted in democratically, because the other option was Fatah. Netanyahu was voted in democratically multiple times, because some people cannot stand the thought of not killing more Palestinians and not stealing more of their land.
