CNN reporting on some interesting survey results from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah. Seven hundred and fifty adults were interviewed face to face in the West Bank, and 481 were interviewed in Gaza, also in person. The Gaza data collection was done during the recent truce, when it was safer for researchers to move about.

Of course they’re going to support fighting back against a nation murdering their children in broad daylight while the world watches, who could blame them? Many probably didn’t hold those sentiments before this “reprisal” but now..

This is the part that's Western media doesn't show: Hamas support and animosity towards Israel predates the October attacks, it's a big part of why the Israeli government is responding this way.

I think most Palestinians have some sort of animosity towards Israel for a long time due to apartheid.

Yep.

It's just they (rightfully) feel like diplomacy won't work because there's an obvious mismatch in strength, and the international community has shown not to give a fuck for decades.

It's a slow genocide, or a fighting chance.

They literally have no other option than sitting there waiting to be killed. Who wouldn't want to fight back? Even if they know they can't win.

The international community does give a fuck - or, at least, the west does. They want to see Israel successfully perpetrate genocide - and they would really appreciate it if everybody would shut up about it.

Why does every post miss the fact this poll is about support for the Oct 7th attack, which is what directly lead to the "murdering their children" part.

Not surprising at all. When you see people around you dying, you either flee or fight... rest is all BS orchestrated by Zionist run media. The core is simple enough.

[–] duffman 3 points 11 months ago

The poll is about the Oct 7th attack.

I can’t imagine why, considering how marvellously calm, restrained, and mature Israel has been. I mean it’s not like Israel has been indiscriminately bombing children or something…?

[–] Cymphoni_Fantastique 3 points 11 months ago

No! That's just what they want! No good will come of it and more people will die! Stay strong, Palestine! The world is with you!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Only one side will win.
