      So Palestinians have two choices, either to support a political party that mostly complies with what Israel wants and doesn’t protest to loudly the oppression or another more rebellious faction. I perfectly understand why a lot of people out of desperation support Hamas, but the core issue here is the military and economic oppression that Israel is exercising over Gaza, if this ceased then automatically Hamas would lose a lot of its supporters.

      Same with Bibi, if there is no Hamas, people won’t vote for him.

        O I’m not here saying Israel is clean either, I was just pointing out that Hamas is heavily supported by Palestinians.

      in 2006. Half the population of Gaza wasnt born when Hamas was elected.

      Israels, Hamas and PA have blocked elections in both Gaza and the West Bank ever since.

      You know what? Coincidentally, there was a fresh poll done regarding that ending Ocober 6th. You can’t get numbers which are any fresher. Have a read.
