Survey: Increased Palestinian Support for October 7th Hamas Attacks
30th October 2025
Palestinian support for Hamas’s October 7th invasion of Israel has risen, with 44% of Gazans now viewing the terrorist attack as “correct,” up seven points since May. In Judea and Samaria, backing for the deadliest single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust remains at 59%.
On October 7th, 2023, the terror group Hamas invaded Israel, killing approximately 1,200 civilians, wounding thousands, and kidnapping 251—a brutal attack initially condemned worldwide (prior to backsliding in European capitals).
The poll, conducted by the Ramallah-based Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) between October 22nd and 25th, involved 1,200 Palestinians. It found that 41% favor “armed struggle”—a reference to terrorist activity—as the most effective means to achieve statehood.
There are no “civilians” in Gaza.
