In this poll on October 6th (before any "rally around the flag" effect) this poll https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/what-palestinians-really-think-hamas?check_logged_in=1&utm_medium=promo_email&utm_source=lo_flows&utm_campaign=registered_user_welcome&utm_term=email_1&utm_content=20231223 found that only 24% would vote for Hamas. And have no trust in the government.

Your poll also only shows 52% support among Gazans even with the indiscriminate killing going on at the time.

This is literally a "country" who has their own government and army attacking another country with democratic support from their people and then getting mad when that country hits them back harder.

The last election was in 2006, before about half of all Gazans were even alive.

And "hits them back harder." If you think this is an accurate depiction of what's going on then you need help bro. They have killed 20 THOUSAND people.

Question: is an innocent Israeli life worth more than an innocent Palestinian life?

Edit: "should Israel turn the other cheek?" Obviously fucking not. This is such a disingenuous question. nobody is saying that. There are so many options between "harder daddy hamas" and doing a fucking genocide it isn't even funny. How about actually targeting Hamas and not innocents? Just one idea of MANY.
