So at least 1/3 have brain damage.
There's no justification for Hamas' terrorism, nor is their justification for Isreal's genocide.
They don't care how loudly you condemn Hamas. Scream it till you're blue in the face and they'll just call you a Hamas sympathizer anyway.
-
67% said a ceasefire should only happen if the hostages are released and Hamas is removed from power
-
83% said October 7 was a terror attack, including 74% of those aged 18-24
-
80% said they support Israel over Hamas, including 57% of those aged 18-24
-
69% said Israel was trying to avoid civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip and 66% said Israel was just trying to defend itself
-
74% said Hamas’s attack was genocidal
this is depressing.
I'm not going to comment on whether or not Hamas' attack was genocidal, because even if they meant it to be, I just don't they have the capability. but like... Israel is bombing fucking hospitals and refugee camps inside the strip. That's not how you go about "avoiding civilian casualties".
the only side worth supporting here are the civilians caught in the middle.
Hamas uses human shields and has been for a long time. We know this. Everyone knows this.
Israel tells you this and you just take their word for it.
Al Shifa was supposed to be a Hamas command center. Israel promised us it was a command center, they gave us audio recordings as proof, they had a whole mockup of the suspected underground facilities.
There wasn't shit, just a sub basement Israel dug.
Stop believing Israel.
