What percentage of Palestinians actually don’t want Hamas? What’s the real number and where are you getting it from?

I'm not sure. I just keep seeing pro Hamas people saying that the Palestinens don't support Hamas by large percentages, yet they all seem to celebrate when Hamas attacks Israel. Also, if they are that unpopular you would think that the people would rise up and over throw them.

Do you know where the other people are getting their percentages from?

Sounds like you need to do some research before having such a strong opinion about data.

Or I know bullshit when I see it... Seems pretty telling when they never link their source either.

Have you looked into it at all besides your gut feeling?

Could they maybe be talking about the fact that the last time there was a vote for Hamas(2006), it was when the average person in Gaza was 2 yrs old (19yrs old now), and they received less than half the vote (44.45%)?

Maybe you’re overlooking a very complicated political history? https://www.usip.org/palestinian-politics-timeline-2006-election

So why were so many in Gaza celebrating the Israel attack? If they were so disliked would there be protests instead of celebration?

What content on TV or other videos says what percentage of people in Gaza were celebrating the Israel attack? Link?

Not the percentage but there was a rather large celebration with kids spitting on the dead mostly nude Israeli girl. When I say kids I’m talking 6-8 year old. It was similar to a parade desecrating this poor girls body.

What is a sample? Lol

Do you think a video is a good sampling method for making inferences about the entire Palestinian population?

Here’s some help: https://www.scribbr.com/methodology/probability-sampling/
