A small glimmer of hope

Reuters reports:

A majority of Gazans believe Hamas’ decision to launch the Oct. 7 attack on Israel was incorrect, according to a poll published on Tuesday pointing to a big drop in backing for the assault that prompted Israel’s devastating Gaza offensive.

The poll, conducted in early September by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR), found that 57% of people surveyed in the Gaza Strip said the decision to launch the offensive was incorrect, while 39% said it was correct.

PSR’s previous poll, conducted in June, showed that 57% of respondents in Gaza thought the decision to be correct.

So support in Gaza for the terrorist attack has dropped from 57% to 39%. That is a small glimmer of hope. There will never be an independent Palestinian state (which I support) if a majority of the residents think what happened on October 7 was a good idea.

Just as the IRA eventually abandoned terrorism, hopefully the same will occur in Gaza.
