Hamas Popularity At All Time High in Gaza

The reasonable person would think that after Hamas caused 2600 Gazans to die and wasted billions of dollars on failed tunnels and overpriced bottle rockets...that the people of Gaza would be ready to throw the bums out!

But remember....these folks worship Allah...so all logic can be thrown out the window.

Hamas popularity has skyrocketed in the wake of Operation Protective Edge to the point where its deputy political bureau chief, Ismail Haniyeh, would win the presidency of the Palestinian Authority if elections were held today, according to a new survey of West Bank and Gaza residents.

The poll, which was overseen by Dr. Khalil Shikaki of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, indicates that Haniyeh would attract 61 percent support among prospective Palestinian voters, easily outpacing incumbent Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah (32 percent).

In the Gaza Strip, Haniyeh has the support of 53 percent of residents, while in the West Bank the figure jumps to 66 percent.

Hamas's popularity in the West Bank is at an all-time high following the 50-day long military confrontation with Israel.

The poll also finds that nearly 8 in 10 Palestinians believe Hamas defeated Israel in the recent round of fighting. In addition, the survey indicates that a majority of Palestinians would support copying Hamas's strategy of launching rockets into Israeli towns in the West Bank as well. Nonetheless, 63 percent of Palestinians believe the cease-fire serves national interests. 

A majority – 53 percent – said it supported armed struggle against Israel, while just 20 percent said nonviolence was the best way to achieve statehood.

Nearly nine in 10 Palestinians support renewed rocket fire against Israel if the Gaza blockade remains. Half of the respondents said they "understood" the strategy of launching rockets at Israel from civilian, built-up urban areas, while just 30 percent believe that Hamas fired rockets from these sites.

Wow!!  What the heck do you do with that info?  Half the population of Gaza understood why Hamas launched rockets from civilian areas!!  80% think Hamas defeated Israel in the recent round of fighting!!

So what do we do with all these delusional Arabs?

Well, we send them another $20 billion dollars so they can rebuild their houses in Gaza...knowing full well that they will use the money to redo the tunnels and buy more missiles to shoot at Israel...because that's what the 'nice' people of Western Nations do!!

Friends, there WILL BE ANOTHER WAR between Hamas and Israel.  It might be next week, next month or next year, but there will be another one...just as soon as Hamas has smuggled in another 10,000 missiles.

As I read this news it sure makes one contemplate what the psalmist said in Psalm 83

O God, do not remain silent;
    do not turn a deaf ear,
    do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl,
    how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
    they plot against those you cherish.
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
    so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;
    they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
    of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek,
    Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them
    to reinforce Lot’s descendants.
9 Do to them as you did to Midian,
    as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10 who perished at Endor
    and became like dung on the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
    all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, “Let us take possession
    of the pasturelands of God.”
13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
    like chaff before the wind.
14 As fire consumes the forest
    or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 so pursue them with your tempest
    and terrify them with your storm.
16 Cover their faces with shame, Lord,
    so that they will seek your name.
17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;
    may they perish in disgrace.
18 Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord—

    that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Hmmmm....as you read and research all those players mentioned in vs 6-8, you realize that those players are all currently Muslim lands on the current borders of modern day Israel....filled with angry Muslims who want to see Israel and Jews destroyed once and for all!!

Coincidence?
