People have talked about a poll but that`s the first time anyone could send me a link to it.
I imagine Hamas was popular for a short while as they had delivered a blow to their captors.
I have to think some were being naive as they must have realised what was coming.
I can`t imagine the hatred they must feel towards israel as I have not been dispossessed of my land and had my future taken away.
What praise MEMO gives to Sinwar is immaterial,I`m not here to back Hamas.
If you want a more pro-zionist read then go to unitedwithisrael or worldisraelnews and read the comments from your fellow zionists,I`m sure they will make you very proud.
Would you like to paint Gaza as a thriving economy before October 7th?
In 2022 the unemployment rate was amongst the highest in the world at nearly 50%.
israel controls the air,land and sea borders and controls what goes in and out.
Electricity,water and medicine are rationed.
I have to assume you have seen the fence surrounding Gaza with watchtowers and remote controlled machine guns?
If you don`t consider living inside a fence which you cannot escape from as not living in a prison then maybe you should try it.
A few people might have done OK but the majority did not so cut the BS as it doesn`t wash with me.
