The findings by a Palestinian pollster signal more difficulties ahead for the Biden administration’s postwar vision for Gaza and raise questions about Israel’s stated goal of ending Hamas’ military and governing capabilities.
Washington has called for the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority, currently led by Abbas, to eventually assume control of Gaza and run both territories as a precursor to statehood. U.S. officials have said the PA must be revitalized, without letting on whether this would mean leadership changes.
The PA administers pockets of the Israeli-occupied West Bank and has governed Gaza until a takeover by Hamas militants in 2007. The Palestinians have not held elections since 2006 when Hamas won a parliamentary majority.
Hamas is the only group that fights for the Palestinians. Supporting America or the PLO only gets them killed. They don’t give a shit about your support since you’re killing them.
Thinking you’re going to make someone turn against a group by killing their wife and kids and then saying “See, THEY are the bad guys!” is some next level stupid"
