Palestinian poll shows a rise in Hamas support, increase in anti-US sentiments A wartime opinion poll among Palestinians shows a rise in support for the resistance movement Hamas, which appears to have ticked up even in the Israeli-bombarded Gaza Strip. The survey also shows an overwhelming rejection of Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas, with nearly 90% saying he must resign. The survey was conducted from Nov. 22 to Dec. 2 among 1,231 people in the occupied West Bank and Gaza and had an error margin of 4 percentage points. In Gaza, poll workers conducted 481 in-person interviews during a weeklong cease-fire that ended on December 1.

A large majority believed Hamas' claims that it acted to defend the al-Aqsa Mosque compound against extremist Israeli settlers and win the release of Palestinian prisoners.

At least we know who's doing some of the murdering anyway.... When you strip civilians to their underwear and call them terrorists, any stripped civilian will look like a terrorist. https://www.timesofisrael.com/initi...ss-waving-white-flag-when-troops-opened-fire/ All three were shirtless, with one of the figures carrying a stick with a makeshift white flag, according to the investigation. The soldier, who believed the men moving toward him was an attempt by Hamas to lure IDF soldiers into a trap, immediately opened fire and shouted “terrorists!” to the other forces. .... At that stage, the commander of the battalion, who was also in the multi-story building where the soldier had fired from, went outside and called on the forces to stop shooting. Moments later, the third man came out of the building to which he had fled, and another soldier opened fire at him, killing him
