If you think that's what's happening, you've been in an echo chamber yourself.

I didn't even know that dipshit said 50%, but whatever. The Newsweek article I posted says 37%, my apologies. It's still alarmingly high support for a literal terrorist organization. Brain rotted

Did you read the whole article? Newsweek misrepresented the results by leaving out other answers that clearly demonstrate the vast majority think Hamas is a terrorist organization and the Oct 7th attacks were terroristic and genocidal in intent. The sample size was far too small. You'll notice they didn't even tell you what the actual question asked was. There's a big difference between "do you support Hamas" and "do you support the Palestinian government" or "do you support Palestinian efforts to defend against Israeli attacks?" Surveys in general, and especially ones on politically decisive ideas, are notoriously easy to skew based on subtle differences in how you word questions. I'd recommend you be very suspicious of any report on a survey that doesn't tell you what was actually asked.
