Thanks for the additional polling info, some of those figures are fascinating.
73% believe Palestine will win, 3% believe Israel will win
75% of respondents expected a victory in which Gaza repels the Israeli invasion
This tells me that they don’t understand the realities of their situation and are likely heavily propagandized, which just makes it all the more tragic. One cannot compromise if they don’t understand there is a need to.
This paints a picture of a group that approves of Hamas’ approach, is unwilling to surrender, negotiate, and will not agree to a 2-state solution. They like what happened on Oct 7. If this is the case, what other alternative is there but war until the threat no longer exists? I suspect this unwillingness to compromise will be their undoing.
I’m not sure you understand what life has been like under Israeli military occupation.
If you care to learn more, I urge you to read or listen to the books
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
The Biggest Prison on Earth A History of the Occupied Territories
A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples
All by Ilan Pappe who uses official Israeli documents, testimonies by Israeli officials, Arab sources, and oral history to piece together a comprehensive history of Israel and Palestine. I’m sure you’ll discredit it as bias, which it is, he says so himself. But that doesn’t change how credible his work is. Go into it with a skeptical eye and verify everything he talks about on your own. It’s a deep dive but it’s worth it.
