A survey by Israeli public broadcaster finds only 27 percent think Israel has won war against Hamas, one year into the conflict

The poll, conducted by Israel’s national broadcaster KAN News and the Kantar Institute, interviewed a sample of 653 Israelis.

Only 27 percent of Israelis think their government has defeated Hamas in its onslaught on the Gaza Strip that started a year ago, according to a new survey. The results show that 35 percent think Israel has lost the war against Hamas, while the rest are unsure.

Asked if they would be willing to move to one of the communities in southern Israel close to Gaza after the war ends, only 14 percent said they would consider living there, while 86 percent said they were unwilling. Former and current Israeli military officials have also said they are losing the war on Gaza and Hamas is winning.

    This is a big reason why the attacks against Israel will never stop and why Israel is so overboard in their responses. Israel’s enemies need to make sure that Israeli’s don’t feel safe in their own homes. It slows down their colonial expansion as well as delegitimizes the state in the eyes of the Israeli citizens. Israel needs to make sure they are so aggressive to hide this fact. The irony is after doing all they’ve done over the past year, the truth is even more apparent.

      Another big problem is that israelis aren’t bound to the land. Most of the colonists just pack up their bags and leave when things get tough just like how they did in South Africa.
