Darrell Bricker, global CEO of Ipsos public affairs, said the polling indicates "a lot of sympathy" for the hostages and for the people who are suffering because of the conflict.
No, Hamas is full of asshats that force Palestinians to suffer for their own benefit. In this conflict leaders on both sides are assholes. Most of the actual people are alright... except Israeli settlers.
It's even more complicated than that. Netanyahu and Hamas are both just players in this. The actual war is the US with allies vs Iran. It's just happening in Israel.
Nah, the US isn't puppet mastering this one unless Netanyahu is a secret plant (which is far too tinfoil hatty for me). If you look at his historic decisions this 100% tracks for that asshat.
On the Hamas side... eh? It's either Hamas being asshats just 'cause or Hamas being asshats because of Iranian pressure. Either way they're fucking asshats. And, to give credence to your point, handing a rocket launcher to a maniac "just 'cause" is absolutely in character for Iran - just look at Yemen or Syria.
Yep, and Trudeau has said something similar. He sees his role as protecting Canadian society for the effects of it, because he really can't do anything about what happens over there.
