    To me, the crazy thing is that 33% of the Arab world doesn’t think it was legitimate resistance.

    The October 7th attack was clearly terrorism. But to have such a big percentage of the Arab world seem to agree with that, even in such an insanely one-sided situation as the ongoing occupation of Gaza, means:

    A lot of people want peace.

      Everyone wants peace for themselves and their allies. What’s important is how many people want peace for the other guy too.

        Well, but what I’m saying is that (edit: calling it terrorism) saying it wasn’t legitimate is kind of wanting peace for the other guy too.

        I’d be surprised if 33% of Americans or Israelis thought that the invasion of Gaza was illegitimate. Maybe they would though, I honestly don’t know.

          It’s all terrorism, all the way down. Israel throws a volley, then Hamas throws a volley, and so on. It’s depressing.

        Palestinians want to live peace with each other. Israelis are the ones that want to go full Nazi and exterminate all Palestinians because they believe they are the Ubermensch.

        The west bank being terrorized by ZioNazis is all the proof one needs.

      I think it is interesting how many people think there will ever be peace while Hamas is in charge, or that Hamas will ever let someone else be in charge.
