    And the point remains that libs like you like to say stupid shit and downplay the severity of an allowed “minority” group (which by the way, is more than just one group) that committed the bulk of war crimes in the past 3 or so years before and during the invasion, all while enjoying continued state-wide support as they continue to appear as this “minority” moniker, since Western media refuses to shed light into what they’ve done and what they continue to do: https://www.globalresearch.ca/one-less-traitor-zelensky-oversees-campaign-assassination-kidnapping-torture-political-opposition/5777966

    Where hamas has a ~44% approval rating

    Is Hamas the “worst of Palestine”? That there is according to an old article run by the Empire Press, which states 44% of Palestinians in the West Bank, not 44% of Palestinians. The article also omits the fact that Hamas was the overall favored party, of those who participated in the polls at the time. The source that they’re referring to, published in Dec 2nd of 2023, (which they also conveniently omit and one which you are oblivious to) is this, which mentions the following:

    In the West Bank, support for Hamas today stands at 44% (compared to 12% three months ago), and for Fatah at 16% (compared to 26% three months ago). In the Gaza Strip, support for Hamas today stands at 42% (compared to 38% three months ago)

    When asked which political party or political trend they support, the largest percentage selected Hamas (43%), followed by Fatah (17%), while 12% selected other or third-party groups, and 28% said none of them or did not know.

    Vote for Hamas in the Gaza Strip stands today at 52% (compared to 44% three months ago) and for Fateh at 21% (compared to 32% three months ago). In the West Bank, vote for Hamas stands at 50% (compared to 24% three months ago) and Fatah at 18% (compared to 40% three months ago).

    It has decreased since then, as a result of undecided voters, no surprise there since there’s literally other things to prioritize than to participate in polls or elections during a fucking genocide…

    This “intellectual oversight” is beyond disingenuous, disgusting and bad-faith: it’s just plain liberal.
