You have been lied to: the palestinians do not want peace, and the war has barely affected their desire to keep fighting Israel, much less destroy it.
A thread with receipts:
We are now almost 600 days since October 7th. We keep hearing about how Gaza has been turned into rubble, starvation is imminent, and a genocide is happening.
Yet 59% of them still believe that 10/07 was the right thing to do. That’s only a 13% drop since December 2023.
Not only has the war barely affected their belief that invading Israel, murdering 1,200 innocents and kidnapping hundreds was the right thing to do, a majority still thinks that it’s great PR for them and will help them with the rest of the world.
Only 9% of them believe that Hamas committed atrocities on 10/07, and a near majority of them (mostly in Judea and Samaria) still expect Hamas to win despite the current situation.
59% of them believe that the anti-Hamas protests are a psyop and doesn’t represent the views of the majority of the population. The majority of them think they are being orchestrated from outside of the territories to undermine Hamas.
The majority oppose those demonstrations.
The vast majority of them opposes disarming Hamas, much less kick them out of the strip, even if it means the end of the war.
Read that again: The overwhelming majority would rather the war continue than Hamas lay down its weapons, much less be exiled from the Strip.
They are also lying to you about how they want to stay in the land. 43% of Gazans, despite wanting the war to continue, are willing to leave the Gaza Strip after the war.
“Gazans are so sick of Hamas!”
Well, no. 43% in Gaza approve of them, 67% in Judea and Samaria, for an overall 57% approval rating for Hamas despite everything that has happened.
In a head to head against Fatah, Hamas would not only stay in power in Gaza, but would take over the entire PA apparatus, and quite handily.
Only 40% of them support the idea of a Two-State solution, while 57% entirely reject it.
And they think that their best way to establish their own state (over Israel) is through violence with 48% supporting the continuation of terrorism.
Only 12% of them believe their most pressing need is to establish a democratic political system that respects their freedoms and right.
All of this is in the new PCPSR poll, the most accurate polling apparatus as far as Gaza, Judea and Samaria are concerned.
This gives us the very clear picture of a society at war that wants it to continue and does not want to achieve peace with Israel.
