Poll shows Palestinians back Oct. 7 attack on Israel, support for Hamas rises
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Almost three in four Palestinians believe the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel was correct, and the ensuing Gaza war has lifted support for the Islamist group both there and in the West Bank, a survey from a respected Palestinian polling institute found.
The Palestinian Center for Policy Survey and Research (PCPSR) findings were published as international alarm grows over the spiraling Palestinian civilian toll in the Israeli counter-offensive against Hamas, now in its third month.
Seventy-two percent of respondents said they believed the Hamas decision to launch the cross-border rampage in southern Israel was "correct" given its outcome so far, while 22% said it was "incorrect". The remainder were undecided or gave no answer.

The Hamas controlled Ministry of Health has repeatedly lied about the numbers from day one. Anything they report must be taken with a huge grain of salt. And yes, this needs to stop. The overwhelming support for Hamas by the Palestinians needs to stop. Of course, very little of this is reported by the MSM.

Actually it is covered by AlJazeera. Much more than by MSNBC or CNN. Most non USA networks

The argument is that ANY criticism of Israel is "singling it out" and wrong. Of course it's nonsense.

We all understand your shameful inference. But here's a thought. I'm a Jew. I have family in Israel.

I'm sure this fact will do nothing to temper the "Hamas doesn't represent the Palestinian people" canard. n/t
