    How can you conclude that? supporting an attack is not the same as supporting the infliction of casualties during it. In fact that’s what the supporters of the current war on Gaza are hiding behind.

    Reasons cited for the October 7 attacks included: responding to oppression, particularly attacks
    on Al Aqsa (35%), and addressing broader issues such as freeing Palestine, ending the occupation,
    and stopping settlements (33%). Breaking the blockade of Gaza was cited as the main reason by
    21% of respondents.

    That’s ~89%

    A small percentage (6%) reported that the main reasons behind the war are related to regional
    interests. This includes serving the interests of Iran (5%) and stopping the ongoing peace and
    normalization process with Israel (1%).

    That’s the remaining ~11%.

    That makes it look like the vast majority of Palestinians are supporting it for the potential of ending their suffering and oppression. Not to kill Jews.

        Anyone with a brain would also know that given enough time, with the US’ support and the world’s silence Palestine would cease to exist and the population of Gaza will get starved off.

        So any change that could get some attention will have more support than usual. An attack should have been expected, even if Hamas wasn’t governing Gaza.

        Once this is all settled we will see more aggression towards Palestinians with no fucks given for their lovely neighbor’s regular and war crimes.
