Over 90% of Palestinians disbelieve or are unaware of the reports of atrocities committed by Hamas (https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-most-palestinians-october-7s-savagery-is-literally-unbelievable-blame-the-tv-news/amp/).

They think it was a legitimate military strike. Not a massacre.

And why, given Israel’s actions, some people in Gaza, by which I don’t mean Hamas, have legitimate grievances that should be acknowledged instead of handwaved away.
