(VINnews) — A Palestinian poll released last week revealed that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians support Hamas’ terror attack on October 7, while an even bigger majority denied that Hamas committed war crimes and atrocities.

The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) released the poll results on Wednesday, citing Palestinians in multiple locations throughout Gaza and as well as Judea and Samaria.

Staggering takeaways:

  • A vast majority (72%; 82% in the West Bank and 57% in the Gaza Strip) said it was the right decision for Hamas to launch their terrorist attack on October 7
  • 95% claim that Israel has committed war crimes during its campaign to eliminate Hamas in response to the attacks. Only 10% believe that Hamas has committed war crimes while 89% said that they did not believe it.
  • 85% of Palestinians had not seen the videos, mostly recorded by Hamas, showing the terrorists gleefully murdering and torturing Israelis on October 7. When asked about the atrocities, only 7% of Palestinians said they believed it occurred.

In addition to the above poll, a shocking and troubling new poll from Harvard-Harris revealed some disturbing beliefs of young Americans regarding the current situation.

The poll found that a massive number – 51% of Americans aged 18 to 24 – believe that Israel should be dissolved and given to Hamas.

The poll also found that 60% of the 18-24 demographic justified Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack. At the same time, 58% of this age group agreed that “Hamas would like to commit genocide against the Jews in Israel.”

Only 32% of young Americans supported a two-state solution, and a mere 17% suggested that other Arab states should absorb Palestinian populations. This stands in dramatic opposition to older age groups, where a two-state solution was the preferred outcome.

Regarding Israel’s actions in Gaza, 60% of Americans aged 18-24 viewed them as genocide. 53% of young Americans believed students should be free to call for the “genocide of Jews” without consequences.

The destruction of terror hamas won’t be completed by a poll, but by IDF and Mossad heroes.

I think 51 percent of 18-24 yr old Americans feel that their parents are occupiers of their house and therefore the house should be given to them, the basement dwellers. With the same logic Israel should be given to these basement dwellers.

More Holocaust education? A poll after the Oslo Accords, about 30 years ago, said that an overwhelming number of Americans said that the PLO was still a dangerous terrorist organisation; but they also said that Israel should make “peace” with them (i.e., give them guns and ammunition, and a big “piece” of the Holy Land.) Is this not tantamount to supporting Jewish genocide, here in Israel?

“10% believe that Hamas has committed war crimes“. Way more than I expected.

In that case let’s just go nuclear and flatten the whole place for once and for all. They are all apparently the same so why risk lives trying to differentiate .
