Palestinian poll shows a rise in Hamas support and close to 90% wanting US-backed Abbas to resign - Lemmy.ca

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.

Only 10% said they believed Hamas has committed war crimes, with a large majority saying they did not see videos showing the militants committing atrocities.

Jesus Christ.

They have lived in fear under Hamas, but also are not going to side with the people deleting generations of their people from the face of the earth daily.

It's not about 'sides', it's about not believing that Hamas has done things that it is well-recorded and easily found doing.

The poll is of people in Gaza and the West Bank.

You aren’t aware that Israel has cut phone and internet access to Gaza? They can’t see these videos. They’re supposed to trust Israel? Give me a break.

Okay, I see the words 'West Bank' mean nothing to you.

They’ve been fucking with their internet, too. Besides, the media is overwhelmingly anti-Palestine and pro-Israel. You’d just tune it out.

Anything to deny the agency of Palestinians, I see.

Oh fuck you, you genocidal twat. Eat a bullet.

Love that I get accused of supporting genocide for pointing out the horror of Palestinians denying Hamas's war crimes, despite the fact that I've spent this entire conflict decrying Israel's ongoing genocide.

Why would anyone believe that given what you’ve just posted and the fact that Hasbara votes are following you at the speed of light. Fuck off forever. Die in a ditch.

Why would anyone believe that given what you’ve just posted

"Palestinians are people and not saintly creatures for xenophilic Westerners to paint their own racist 'noble savage' projections over and thus this scientific poll is likely accurate, and thus horrifying"

Yes, what a horrible thing to suggest.

Alternatively, you could look through my post history, since I've been posting anti-Israel opinions since before the October attack, and even more fiercely after the October attack.

and the fact that Hasbara votes are following you at the speed of light. Fuck off forever. Die in a ditch.
