That's from 2014.
Do you have a more up-to-date link for the same information?
According to the latest Washington Institute polling, conducted in July 2023, Hamas’s decision to break the ceasefire was not a popular move. While the majority of Gazans (65%) did think it likely that there would be “a large military conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza” this year, a similar percentage (62%) supported Hamas maintaining a ceasefire with Israel. Moreover, half (50%) agreed with the following proposal: “Hamas should stop calling for Israel’s destruction, and instead accept a permanent two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.” Moreover, across the region, Hamas has lost popularity over time among many Arab publics. This decline in popularity may have been one of the motivating factors behind the group’s decision to attack.

If you are happy letting mentally vulnerable teenagers decide all the imortant stuff for you, have at it, dont expect the rest of us to get with that plan though.
GENEVA (12 October 2023) – UN independent experts* today unequivocally condemned targeted and deadly violence directed at civilians in Israel and violent and indiscriminate attacks against Palestinian civilians in Gaza and a further tightening of the unlawful blockade, which will have devastating impacts on the whole civilian population...
There is no special carve-out in international law that allows the victims of war crimes to commit war crimes in return. Nevertheless, there are signs that the logic of retribution may be prevailing within Israel's military leadership.
Gortex what's going on. Post after post of anti Israel information.Looks like it's become a total obsession.
srael has declared war on Hamas and that means neutralising 40,000 terrorists. Probably more if one adds on other groups with similar murderous intent. That means going after them all, whatever that takes.
As a Palestinian, I find the actions of the terrorist group beyond abhorrent. During its brutal invasion, Hamas killed, injured and abducted scores of Muslim Israelis, including Bedouins.
Take it from a Palestinian perspective, the unforgivable brutality Hamas just displayed against Israelis is what our population has experienced from these cold-blooded murderers and thugs for the past 16 years since they took control of Gaza in 2007.
In the days and weeks ahead, innocent Palestinian blood will be on the hands of Hamas as they pay a terrible price for their villainy, as Israel does everything in its power to bring its people home. Don’t fall for the tricks of antisemites perpetrating lies about who is responsible for this war; believe your own eyes and common sense: the raping, torture and murder that Hamas has committed is inexcusable, full stop.
Gaza’s liberation is long overdue; please, Israel, deliver our people from the wicked power of Hamas.

Well it appears the so called adults in the room prefer genocide and WWIII so I'm not sure the point you are trying to make.
The number of people killed has risen to at least 3,000, the Palestinian health ministry has said.
A further 12,500 people have been injured.
In a separate update on the West Bank, it said 61 people had been killed there and 1,250 injured.

Ive floated about on here for years.
I havent posted in ages (ive been away sorry guys/girls)
But im shocked at how people on here are acting on this post and many others.
We should all know by now no one should be #ing dying for the sake of the leaders.
Israel civilians should not be dying.
Palestinian civilians should not be dying.
No one should be bombing the other.
A quick history lesson
Palestine (a full 100% real country) was split by the UK and France to give land the Jewish people.
Since then there have been many wars because many people in the area believe this should not have been done (you cant just take a country away because of "historical" links..... looking at you Russia)
Israel won and land grabbed.
More fights have taken place and effectively most non jewish instead of having the entire country to live in now live in a small few mile long/wide strip of land.
This lands resources are controlled by the Jewish.
Do I blame the Palestinians wanting to fight for their own land? No
Do i condole killing people? No
The rest of the world needs to sort their #ing heads out and simply say "right you lot can # off to this part.. and you lot can # off over there"
Will this happen? Of course not once again people are making money from conflicts so they don't care.. all while innocent Jewish and Muslim people are dying.
Welcome to our Earth people.
The place is #ed.
BUT we on here should not be lowering ourselves to the same level as leaders and picking sides. You cannot pick a side here, but are losing.

Israel/occupied Palestinian territory: UN experts deplore attacks on civilians, call for truce and urge international community to address root causes of violence

Hamas proudly committed war crimes. Is Israel's government about to do the same?

Am I not allowed to voice my opinion on the current actions taken by Israel ? , obsession you say , those posting post after post supporting the actions of Israel seem fine to do so without question or rebuke.
srael has declared war on Hamas and that means neutralising 40,000 terrorists. Probably more if one adds on other groups with similar murderous intent. That means going after them all, whatever that takes.
And there's the problem , whatever that takes seems to include war crimes but Israel gets a pass whatever it does , the multitude of ignored UN resolutions shows that.
