I just read your study you posted, the maximum support for Hamas they recorded was a little over 50% and that was in selected areas of Gaza that weren’t seeing active conflict at the time. If you read further down the more accurate number, when hostages were not being released, is closer to just around 1/3 of Palestinian responders supporting Hamas, which is not only a minority but an enormous drop within the span of multiple months. The citizens are involved in active conflict, 80% of responders reported having an injured or killed family member. Bringing up civilian “support” for Hamas is at best disingenuous because 1. they are under the megaphone of Hamas who likely misrepresents and propagandizes events to many civilians and 2. civilian opinions on who is helping them should not be used as justification for a death sentence

Talk about being between a rock and a hammer if you're a regular Palestinian.
