Roughly 60% of Americans say Israel's reasons for fighting Hamas are valid. But how Israel is carrying out its response to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack receives a more mixed evaluation.
Poll also goes into the party breakdowns which shows many more Hamas-lovers on the Democrat side.
IMHO, that doesn't bode well for Biden in the general election and could likely result in Trump waltzing back in to the Oval Office. At which point Trump will give a thumbs up to Netanyahu to "finish it." And then Jared Kushner can get started on that waterfront resort he was going on about. I wonder if they'll offer discounts if we order now.
The propaganda machine keeps on turning I see. Not surprisingly. #1 | Posted by LauraMohr
So, you would be amongst the five percent of Americans, and 70% of Palestinians who thought that the Palestinian's October 7th rape and murder of 1,000 Israeli civilian men, women and children was A-OK? No surprises there.
"You know if Palestinians weren't treated like crap by Israel there would be no Hamas."

Don't expect that to ever get acknowledged. The propaganda is so strong with them, they won't ever acknowledge Israel ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and sent them to camps where their ancestors still live to this day.

"Israeli Police have evidence Hamas terrorists raped men on October 7, activists claim Yael Sherer, spokeswoman for Israel's Survivors of Sexual Violence advocacy group, said there was physical evidence as well as eyewitness accounts. Speaking on BBC Radio Four on Monday, she added: "There was sexual violence and rape in these communities in the south of Israel. We have a few living survivors - not a lot - of both genders. It didn't only happen to women, it happened to men as well. "Aside from finding bodies of people who were murdered, a lot of the bodies were mutilated. Terrorists made sure to disgrace these people and dishonour them."" www.thejc.com
Question: Why do some Israel supporters ALWAYS avoid discussing Israeli tactics?
Answer: They know that Israeli tactics can't be justified. #21 | Posted by FedUpWithPols
The Palestinians get the Israeli tactics the Palestinians demanded when they attacked Israel and slaughtered/raped 1,000 men, women and children in cold blood on October 7th. In the deluded hope that they would gain world sympathy with their "suffering."
Don't know why the Hamas-lovers are taking issue with it. Even 70% of the Palestinians and 21% of American Muslims still stand by the Palestinian's October 7th atrocities.
Or did they think that they get to target Israeli civilians for slaughter and rape and Israel is supposed to defend itself with both hands tied behind its back?
Palestinians didn't attack Israelis: HAMAS did! Just because HAMAS happens to be Palestinians is no reason to conmen all of them as being HAMAS. That's the same kind of warped thinking that results in bigoted people wanting to cast ALL people in a community as being criminals just because some in that community are in gangs. #28 | Posted by FedUpWithPols
And what of the steady 70% Palestinian approval rate for the October 7th atrocities(and 21% amongst American Muslims)?
Are we supposed to pretend that Palestinians aren't overwhelmingly in favor of a repeat performance. And pretend that those Hamas terrorists erupt from the soil from Allah's munificence and not from the Palestinian community that fan the flames of theocracy and anti-semitism?
Or maybe, instead, accept that the Palestinians want Israel destroyed, and that Israel is consequently under existential threat?
Simply put, the Palestinians want the Jews dead. I can only imagine that the Palestinian celebrations when they accomplish that result would eclipse their celebrations on 9/11 when 3,300 of our own civilians were murdered. That's just the way the Palestinian community seems to roll. Claiming that they are otherwise in their outlook seems to have no basis in objective fact.

Yeah, sucks to have someone take land from you that you believe is yours. Unfortunately, it's been happening since the dawn of man, particularly in that region of the world.
The Palestinians should probably do what every other group does when they have something taken from them by a superior force and there's no hope of changing that result. Move on with their lives, either immigrating elsewhere or learn to share it to the extent possible. Something that the 2-million-person Palestinian population of Israel has managed to do with varying degrees of success.
Instead, after being assigned perpetual refugee status, many Palestinians think that they will somehow reclaim that land from Israel. Which isn't going to happen so long as that land is inhabitable.
7 million Jewish Israelis are not going to vanish into thin air, particularly after many of them had their own land stolen from them in Muslim nations. Jewish Exodus from the Muslim World. And giving Israeli citizenship to all of the Palestinians is a non-starter, as the Jewish Israelis know that accepting democratic rule by a Muslim-majority theocratic nation is tantamount to baring their throats for an ISIS-style beheading. The Jews have their backs to the wall and Israel is their last stand.
Finally, I'm sure the Israelis have their own perspective on who that land belongs to as well. This Land is Mine.
