An October 2023 nationally representative survey by Harvard/Harris found that 24% of registered voters thought the murder of 1,200 Israeli civilians by Hamas "can be justified by the grievances of Palestinians." The portion of people who held this view ranged from a low of 9% among those aged 65 and older to a high of 49% among those aged 18 to 34. During these attacks, Hamas intentionally killed civilian men, women, and children as they tortured, raped, and dismembered them.
