67% of Arab world: October 7 was 'legitimate resistance' against Israel

I don't think anyone is defending the actual killing of civilians. The idea is that the civilians who died (including by Israeli hands, by the way, can't forget that), were incidental and had no basis in leadership orders. AFAIK the plan was go attack Israeli bases and soldiers, take hostages, return to the strip, but since Hamas isn't exactly a properly trained modern army and Israel just shelled and shot their own citizens the numbers got this bad.

@roastedDeflator @World News My Arabic is not up to translating the whole thing, but some headline figures from my quick skim.

59% of Arabs are following the news about Gaza daily
54% following it mainly by satellite TV, 36% by social media
84% feeling psychological pressure because of the war
67% think the Hamas attack on 7/10/2023 was a legitimate resistance operation
67% think Hamas is totally unlike ISIS
69% stand in solidarity with Gaza and Hamas

World News reshared this.

I'm surprised it is this low.

Edit: the comments are hell. But what else to except from propagandized westerners that never cared to know from Arabs.

I wish our leaders had a sense of shame or honour, instead many of them are collaborators.

“If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” David Ben-Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.
