Quantify the types and level of support Palestinians provide Hamas. Are there accurate poll numbers for Hamas’s favorability?
Does that include Palestinian children?
Did all of the adult Palestinians who’ve been killed support Hamas?
So Israel should back off and put all of their people at risk because not all Palestinians in Gaza support Hamas? Has there been an outcry of the people for new elections? Have they protested against Hamas in anywhere near the numbers that they take to the streets to celebrate Israeli losses? If silence is violence in the US why isn't it in Gaza?
Hamas has made this conflict an us or them situation. Hamas has to go or completely cease terrorist activities. The Palestinian people in Gaza need to rise up against Hamas and force change for their own safety. They have their future in their own hands.
It was a serious question.
Hamas does indeed have to go. They are a terrorist organization. You raise a fair point on demonstrations, but I’m not sure how safe or possible that is with a theocratic/autocratic/terrorist government in charge. Not to mention democratic elections.
EG: Assad and Saddam were wildly popular too in elections.
I simply don’t know how much true support the Palestinian people have for Hamas. Seems like an important question when considering whether to “kill them all.”.
