Why can't people just look this stuff up. Hamas is not Palestine. They are a militant group created by the UAE and possibly Russia to further their own goals in the region and world. The people of Palestine, actual Palestinians, are victims of both Hamas and Israel and the world needs to stop blaming them for this.
Well, Hamas was voted strongest party in 2006 or 2008 (can't remember exactly) with ~45% votes.
That approval rating has only gone up as the violence against them has ramped up. I think it's in the 60s now.
Most likely yeah. But I couldn't find any newer approval ratings.
