Despite Gaza lying in ruins after a year-plus of war sparked by Hamas atrocities, a new poll reveals that nearly two-thirds of Palestinians in Gaza, Yehuda, and the Shomron continue to support Hamas, suggesting little reflection or change in sentiment.
The survey, conducted by the Ramallah-based Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD) from Nov. 27 to Dec. 2, polled 704 Palestinian adults. The results show that 47% prefer a “national unity” government involving both Fatah and Hamas to govern Gaza post-war. Astonishingly, 17% favor a return to Hamas’s sole rule—despite the terror group’s catastrophic leadership leading to Gaza’s destruction.
In Yehuda and the Shomron, Hamas enjoys more support (25%) than the Western-backed Palestinian Authority (P.A.), which garnered just 10%. This comes even after Hamas orchestrated the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking over 250 hostages, resulting in the veritable razing of Gaza.
Further underscoring the disconnect, terrorist and convicted murderer Marwan Barghouti remains the leading candidate for P.A. president. Meanwhile, 75% of Palestinians delusionally expressed satisfaction with Hamas’s performance in the ongoing war.
The Biden administration’s push for the P.A. to govern Gaza faces stark opposition from Israel, which sees the P.A. as complicit in terror. Yet the U.S. has not ruled out Hamas’s involvement in Gaza’s future governance.

What other rational way remains to explain this shear madness?
How do you take a poll in Palestinian territory? Aren’t the people afraid of serious repercussions (death, severe torture) for speaking their minds?
Need I say more?
If they are all Hamas supporters so then there aren’t innocent ones and in that case why aren’t we turning the whole place to a parking lot?
“FrumWhere”…. Do you really think that there is a significant percentage of Palestinazi peaceniks, who DO want to live in peace with us, but are afraid to speak their mind due to fear of “serious repercussions”?
And even if there were a majority, it is never the peaceful majority who call the shots.
How many times have we heard apologists say about the Muslim community..
“but the overwhelming majority is peaceful!”
True, but what has that got to do with the price of tea in China, when an estimated 25% of Muslims are “radicalized”? and that’s in the west!
The VAST majority of them will say that the Jews are colonizers, that its their land, and that the Jews need to go back to Europe. Its a simple as that.
