This week, a survey by Nader Said of the Orad Institute, a research institute located at Birzeit University, was published, surveying about 670 Palestinians (of which about 280 are Gazans in the southern Gaza Strip, the rest in Judea and Samaria) of all ages. The survey data was published by Amit Mandelbaum.
One of the most difficult figures is the Palestinians' support for Hamas. Despite the distribution of the horrifying documents from the massacre committed by Hamas in the south, 59% fully justify the action of Hamas on October 7 and 16% support it to some extent. In Judea and Samaria, the rate of full support stands at 68% compared to 47% in Gaza.
65% of those surveyed claim that the war is against all Palestinians, 98% say: we will not forget or forgive the aggression in Gaza and 90% support a ceasefire.
Regarding the question of coexistence and the two-state solution, the decisive data: 90% of the respondents claim that there is no chance of coexistence between the nations after the war. 68% say that support for the two-state solution has decreased, 80% say that the massacres encouraged the determination to establish a Palestinian state, while only 16% say that the determination has decreased, or remained unchanged.
Regarding the question of how they feel in light of the demonstrations of support for Hamas around the world: 78% said that there is hope for humanity, thanks to the demonstrations of support for Palestinians in the world and 98% feel more proud to be Palestinians following the events.
The following figure may explain the lack of success in the uprising of the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria. 100% of them claim that there is no safe place in the territories, 48% - report complete or partial destruction of their homes (probably residents of the Gaza Strip) and 14% say that they lost a close relative.
In light of the IDF's takeover of the southern Gaza Strip, 85% of Gazans say that they do not know where they will evacuate if they are forced to do so.
73% claim that the war will end in a Palestinian victory, 14% of them claim that no one will win, 10% are not sure and only 3% think that Israel will win.
Regarding talk about a hostage release deal that is heard on every stage, the Palestinians are relatively certain, 79%, that the war will end with the release of all the prisoners, 37% believe that at the end of the war a peace agreement will be signed between Israel and the Palestinian factions, and 40% believe that the war will end back to the situation it was on the eve of the war.
The IDF spreads many messages in Judea and Samaria, and drops flyers over Gaza calling on the residents to turn themselves in and win security, or provide information about the abductees and win a monetary reward.
So where does the Arabs' trust in the IDF stand? It turns out that it is very low. 91% - do not believe the messages sent to them from the Israeli army, on the other hand the percentages of support for terrorist organizations are high and close to 100 percent.
Al-Qassam Brigades receive maximum support of about 89%, Islamic Jihad with 84%, Al-Aqsa Brigades with 80%, Hamas as mentioned with 76%, 48% - the Arab media, 45% - Hezbollah, 40% - Russia, 23% - Fatah, 10% - Palestinian Authority, 2% - USA, and Israel and the UN with 0% support each.
Media viewing is distributed as follows, "Al Jazeera" with 62% of the total sample and 92% of all viewers of the Arab satellite channels. Far behind, "Al Mayadeen" and then "Al Arabiya".
The distribution of news consumption on social networks goes like this: 48% consume news on Telegram, 31% on Facebook, 10% on Instagram, 9% on WhatsApp and 1% on Tik Tok and Twitter.
