People are tribal and when faced with adversity can justify all sorts of atrocities.



So large swaths of the population support the current slaughter of civilians.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to use polling during ongoing conflicts to judge the populations. There is so much propaganda and justification to support your side.
I suppose the key difference being that the majority of Palestinians were supportive of the initial attack Oct 7th.

The numbers this poll shows is how supportive Israelites are of the retaliation of the Oct 7 attacks. Two different things.

But I agree that polling during an ongoing conflict can be deceiving.
