Having said this I do believe that in general people who are being bombed would have a tendency to support those who are fighting back against those who are bombing them. I am not defending Hamas as I believe they are a sadistic terrorist group but under the present circumstances I could understand innocent civilians supporting them even though Hamas probably doesn't give a crap about them.
