After destruction, the Islamofascism still strong.

More than a year and a half after the Hamas-led atrocities of October 7, 59% of Palestinians polled in the "West Bank" still think that Hamas' made the "correct decision" to torture, rape, burn alive, murder, and kidnap hundreds of hostages—even including children—according to the most respected Palestinian polling agency.
The new poll by Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research asks: "In your view, was Hamas' decision to launch its offensive against Israel on 7 October a correct or incorrect one?" The polling shows a continuation of the pattern of decreasing support since December 2023, when the first poll was taken after the October 7 atrocities. It found that 82% of "West Bank" Palestinians thought October 7 was a "correct decision." In March and June 2024, just over 70% of Palestinians there supported it. In September 2024, support dropped to 64%. And now, 59% still say it was a "correct decision."
The slow but continuous decline in support directly correlates with the worsening military defeat in Gaza. Although the overwhelming majority of Palestinians supported and still support the atrocities, as the cost goes up, fewer think it was the correct decision.
