At least 1million people.
I really, really doubt it was a million people. Most reports place both "in the thousands". Even being charitable and bumping that up to tens of thousands gets you nowhere even near the one million mark.
Lets suppor terrorist!!!
When terrorists destroyed two of the largest buildings in America and killed far more people than Hamas did in their attack, we didn't see fit to eradicate every single human being in the middle East. Why is complete genocide acceptable to you guys? Why is this much civilian death justifiable to you?
Should have, that way we avoid future terrorist attacks
Don't you have a Trump rally you're late for?
I said it 22 years ago when the towers fell, and it looks like it's time to say it again. You don't get rid of angry people by killing angry people.
Dont think the war was about getting rid of angry people, it was about getting who was responsable and killing them.
Oh, sorry! I didn't realize it was just one small country that was supplying the world's terrorists. Carry on, I suppose.
Please tell me you don't actually mean this unironically?
So, the problem is if you kill a few angry people, they all have at least 2 friends/family members, and therefore you create twice as many angry people as you destroy. The only way killing angry people actually reduces the number of angry people is in fact genocide. But if you're willing to commit genocide, you have to stop and ask yourself if maybe, you're the angry person.
Yeah, it's almost as if killing people isn't the best way to achieve anything.
Define civilian death.... When all the "civilians" are terrorist well.... Not many civilians left....
Ok, so you unironically want to destroy every single, what, Arab? Including, presumably, children, because they're all "terrorist".
Do you realise what an awful piece of shit that makes you?
If you're in occupied Palestine you could even vote for one to be the next PM.
They have already lol
Surely there's a solution somewhere between "support terrorists" and "murder everyone." Most Palestinians aren't terrorists, just like most Americans aren't terrorists. A cease-fire helps get humanitarian aid in and figure out who the actual terrorists are.
Most Palestinians in the West bank and Gaza support Hamas, even after their October 7th actions, so classifying them as terrorists or not is kind of a gray zone right now.
Two things:
I think it's pretty reasonable to vocally side with t group that's fighting the group killing your people, but I don't think that necessarily means real support. I'm pretty sure the people would not like the type of leadership Hamas would provide assuming they achieved independence today, so I find it hard to believe they really support Hamas.

Ah, this makes complete sense. So it seems they don't necessarily like Hamas, but they support violence because they don't see a diplomatic option available. So instead of just suffering under Israeli blockade, they prefer something to happen.
So they don't even know what Hamas is doing.
This also makes sense. When you put people between a rock and a hard place, they'll lash out.
This tells me people don't like Hamas, they just like someone doing something.
You are trying to rationalize by picking parts of the article that fit your (probably) western brain. The truth is the Palestinian population has been radicalized for some time now by their education system and their media https://youtu.be/W3jHj93JFMQ
I suggest you read the actual questions of the poll and the results instead of trying on some reporter interpretation: https://pcpsr.org/en/node/961
Wow, that's messed up. I honestly can't fathom how living with that would impact me long term.
As for the questions, I found this quite interesting:
That ~9% gap between "two state solution" and essentially a description of the two state solution seems too large for a polling gap.
My take is that while they may be radicalized, it sounds like the public could be reasoned with. I would expect that an actual offer by Israel (unlikely) could improve those polling numbers quite a bit. That said, they seem to want Barghouti, which isn't going to work for Israel.
Thanks for the nudge to dig deeper, I have some research to do to better understand the conflict.
Sure, dont bomb the whole thing and get boots on the ground, just like they arr doing :)
Uh, they're bombing the whole thing and putting boots on the ground. So your options are:
Not great options.
So they are bombing their on people?? Hahha U dont think so...... Putting boots in the groud its bad fir israel and they do so to avoid killing inocent (if there are any) people in the area. If they wanted they cid bomb the whole thing to the ground, they have not done this
No, they're bombing pretty much everywhere their soldiers aren't. So either get shot or blown up.
They're putting boots on the ground to try to find their people, not to avoid killing innocents.
