While you're not wrong, I think framing it as "israel-hamas" rather than "israel-palestine" is the least favourable framing available (for a supporter of Palestine) without resorting to really obvious leading questions.

As such, seeing a majority opinion against Israel is encouraging. I'd expect a more nuanced survey to swing more heavily against Israel

Hamas are just a group of men whos families were blown up by the IDF. not saying their actions after are not evil but I understand their mindset. If the world has condemned you and your people to death simply for existing, what other options do they have?

Exactly. I don't care if Hamas is wiped out, they're objectively awful, it's the Palestinians getting killed in the crossfire that's the issue.

Of course, they aren't really getting caught in the crossfire, they are the targets. Israel is just using Hamas as an excuse to throw bombs around residential areas, hospitals, and schools.

I'd go with terrorist state personally.

It is sad that nuance is lost in this conflict. If you condemn Israeli action on Palestinians, you are accused as anti-Semite. If you condemn the October 7 attack, you are accused of being Zionist and supporting the genocide on Palestinians.

There isn't ironic bothside-ism on this. Literally both sides are actually at fault. Majority of Israelis back driving the Palestinians out of West Bank and Gaza, and majority of Palestinians want Israel as a country to be destroyed. If anyone have watched or read Attack on Titan TV series or manga, this is a major theme in the story of intergenerational conflict. Two state solution is the only way for the conflict to end, and it isn't like there was no precedence to lay down arms and live in coexistence (see how the conflict in Northern Ireland ended when both opposing sides agreed that enough is enough). But there is too much bad blood between Israelis and Palestinians to call quits any time soon.

The sheer barbarity of Israel is incredible. What is even more incredible is how this is actively fucking over western democracy. Israel is willing to throw down every single freedom in the West (from electoral freedom, to freedom speech, to privacy rights... everything) just so they have a few more settlements built on the graves of people they want dead.

The entire war on terror is Israel's fault. I am going to say it. Modern Islamic fundamentalism is a product of the Cold War, but almost every form of modern international terrorism has its roots in Israeli action and the blowback to that.

I think Hamas is bigger than ever, Israel has given the doubters 18,000 reasons to join Hamas

Anyone remotely affiliated with Hamas is little more than a blood smear on the pavement in Gaza at this point

Imagine if this isn't true. It'd mean Israel managed to bomb literally everything except Hamas.

Israel managed to figure out to turn a vicious terrorist group into the good guys.

Or pro-hamas was the only other option in the survey.

I think there's a lot of people who don't like Israel or Hamas. It's complicated by the fact Hamas is more like a political party than a nation. If it was Israel vs Palestine I think more people would support Palestine.

Hamas is a product of Israeli occupation. The IDF is a product of Israeli national identity.

If it wouldn't be Hamas, it would be a different violent organization, like before PFLP, PLO, etc. When people are brutally oppressed, it leads to violent resistance, that often will not limit itself to military targets.

The baby killers who brag about it are not literal demon scum cockroaches, the resistance group is?
