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.

    It’s really disappointing and I can’t help but wonder how much Israel constantly shelling civilians is helping to prop up a shitheel organization like Hamas.

      Israel funded and deliberately strengthened Hamas. Since Israel is the side with economic, technological, logistical and material superiority -

      This is entirely their fault.

      Israel made this monster and I mean that literally. Politicians of Israel openly said Hamas is a useful tool for them. Israel itself funded Hamas.

      As long as there is a “monster” there is a justification for an attack. It is genuinely fucking astounding how Israel looked at the treatment of Jews during WW2 and took that as a playbook instead of the most horrific thing to happen in the last century and something that shouldn’t be repeated.
