Lol where you getting that 85% support number? They've not had an election in a long time... You realize they've blown up christian churches too right? They also bomb the places people flee to when they "warn" the civilians. If you're a christian, you're on the wrong side of this argument. I don't think Jesus would defend the state that is Israel in name only considering they are basically a godless people larping as Jews today
It’s not a matter of “deserve” — it is the reality that Hamas, with 85% support among Palestinians, intentionally created. Tunnels and hideouts placed beneath hospitals, schools, residential buildings so as to cause maximum casualties and infrastructure damage when attacked. Israel warns civilians to leave in advance, and Hamas shoots at them if they do. Israel is fighting an enemy who claims “we love death more than you love life” and who’s mission is to rape, torture, and kill Jews. How would you neutralize such a threat?

It’s from a Pew poll that happened to be done a few months before the Oct 7 attack.
Yes, I know that they have been absolutely ruthless in pursuit of identified targets — if they run into a crowd, Israel is not deterred. And the Hamas fighters do that intentionally.
