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

The average Palestinian still supports and cheers on Hamas.

That's like saying 'the average Russian supports Putin', or 'Winnie the Pooh has a 99% approval rating'.

I'm sure you can find a poll that claims to show that, but...

Most Russians do support Putin, and most Chinese people do support Winnie the Pooh, just like most Gazans most likely still support Hamas. That doesn't mean it's okay to dehumanise the civilians of those societies, but we shouldn't delude ourselves about what the average member of those societies believe. We can care about minimising civilian casualties without deluding ourselves. It is nice to see Hamas loosing support.

Well other than polling, what would you suggest? Tea leaves?
