A recent nationally representative survey by Harvard/Harris found that 24% of registered voters think the killing of 1,200 Israeli civilians by Hamas can be justified by the grievances of Palestinians. The portion of people who hold this view ranges 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 murdered civilian men, women, and children as they tortured, raped, and dismembered them.
