    Let me try and clarify, this was an independent poll conducted by the Arab World for Research and Development. An independent Arab polling organization. It wasn’t conducted by Hamas or the IDF or the PA, etc.

    And as I’ve said many times, I don’t evaluate a conflict by whether one side has more casualties. The corollary is that the conflict would be more acceptable if more people died on the other side. Knowing that’s false let’s us know that the logic attempted has derailed. It’s simply ethically and morally bankrupt.

    I also understand using a debate tactic to attack the data when it’s saying something that’s not compatible / supportive of the narrative one is pushing.

    I’m happy to look at a different recent poll, or look at a source of yours why this isn’t the most recent and best numbers we have. I would love it if support for Hamas wasn’t so high and would be really pleased if the October attack was condemned and not celebrated.
