The findings by a Palestinian pollster signal more difficulties ahead for the Biden administration’s postwar vision for Gaza and raise questions about Israel’s stated goal of ending Hamas’ military and governing capabilities.
Washington has called for the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority, currently led by Abbas, to eventually assume control of Gaza and run both territories as a precursor to statehood. U.S. officials have said the PA must be revitalized, without letting on whether this would mean leadership changes.
The PA administers pockets of the Israeli-occupied West Bank and has governed Gaza until a takeover by Hamas militants in 2007. The Palestinians have not held elections since 2006 when Hamas won a parliamentary majority.
Again, the West Bank has access to the internet, and even the internet blackouts in Gaza are intermittent to coincide with Israeli offences and minimize proof of Israeli atrocities, not steady.
If your point is “Gazans don’t or shouldn’t be included in that 90% denial of war crimes”, then, if I accept that for the sake of argument, that’s still fucking horrifying that residents of the West Bank overwhelmingly approve or deny the war crimes.
So are West Bank Palestians supposed to vote twice so Gazans are covered?
Like I don’t understand why you’re harping on about the West Bank? The poll was done on all Palestinians (or at least the ones who had phone access). Why are you focusing on the West Bank then?
I don’t understand how you got that from what I said. How is that at all an answer?
Again, in the article you posted it specifically mentions doing in-person interviews in Gaza.
Because you’re saying Gaza should be excluded for lack of information?
I said that because you continuously focused on the West Bank.
This you? Because that’s what started this whole aside about Gaza needing to be excluded.
Mate, this person is either too stupid or too unwilling to actually give a real response to you. Please save your sanity.
I tend to suspect tunnel-vision when these things happens. Happens to all of us, so I try not to form any long-lasting impressions, unless I see a pattern of it.
