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.
Iran does throw a lot of money and weapons at Hamas, but only because that has the effect of harming Israel, not because they give a shit about Palestinians. Just imagine how much good could have been done if Iran instead helped develop infrastructure and invested in the Palestinian economy instead.
Obama absolutely despised Netanyahu and didn’t really try to hide it. He’s very much Israel’s beast to claim.
There is no real way to invest into Gaza’s economy tho. It is under embargo, and everything that used to go in, went in through Israel. Israel checked everything for possible military applications. So no concrete, no wood. No plastics / 3d printing filament even. Want a new type of velcro, that has hook and loop on the same side, and sticks to itself? Apparently it’s a weapon of mass destruction, since you can’t get it in.

I wonder why Israel would feel the need to check all imports for possible weapons.
It’s a mystery.
It’s not checking it for weapons, it’s banning most items because you can maybe use it as a weapon. You can’t get 95% of the things in.
