Slightly more than three in four Palestinians have a positive view of Hamas in the wake of its Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel, according to a survey by the Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD) research firm.

The Ramallah-based institute polled 668 Palestinian adults in the southern Gaza Strip, Judea and Samaria between Oct. 31 and Nov. 7. (The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points, AWRAD said.)

The Palestinian poll—the first of its kind since the Oct. 7 attacks—found that 48.2% of respondents characterize Hamas’s role as “very positive,” while 27.8% view Hamas as “somewhat positive.” Almost 80% regard the role of Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades “military” wing as positive.

The Al-Qassam Brigades killed more than 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and wounded thousands in the Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel. In addition, terrorists took some 240 people hostage.

When asked whether they supported or opposed Hamas’s actions on Oct. 7, 59.3% of the Palestinians surveyed said they “extremely” supported the attacks and 15.7% said they “somewhat” supported the murderous spree.

Only 12.7% expressed disapproval with 10.9% saying they neither supported nor opposed the attack.

Almost all (98%) of the respondents said the slaughter made them feel “prouder of their identity as Palestinians,” with an equal percentage saying they would “never forget and never forgive” the Jewish state for its ongoing military operation against Hamas.

Three-quarters said that they expect the Israel-Hamas war to end in a Palestinian victory.

In response to the question “What would you like as a preferred government after the war is finished in Gaza Strip,” 72% said they favor a “national unity government” that includes Hamas and Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction.

Approximately 8.5% said they favor a government controlled by the Palestinian Authority.

In addition, more than 98% of Palestinians surveyed by AWRAD hold negative views of the United States.

On Nov. 8, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Gaza must be handed over to the P.A. following hostilities. The solution “must include Palestinian-led governance and Gaza unified with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority,” stated Blinken.

During an Oct. 18 visit to Tel Aviv, U.S. President Joe Biden delivered a speech in which he claimed that “Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.”

AWRAD said that “the poll’s sample includes all socioeconomic groups, ensuring equal representation of adult men and women, and is proportionately distributed across the West Bank and Gaza.”

What Does “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free” Mean?

Gentile Americans keep telling me it’s a call for a single state for both peoples, where neither are subjugated or displaced and both have equal protection & representation in government (aka the One State Solution for Two Peoples) but Jews keep telling me it’s a call for the entire region to be ruled by a specifically Palestinian state, i.e. a one state solution for one people, not two (aka the One Palestinian State Solution). So which is it?

Since it’s a Palestinian slogan, I figured I’d ask actual Palestinians what it means: does Palestine, from the River to the Sea refer to One State for Two Peoples or One Palestinian State? Fortunately I don’t have to do the hard work myself, because AWRAD (a Palestinian research group based in the West Bank) already polled Palestinians living in Palestine on their opinions about the war, and what their preferred solution would be:

Table from AWRAD’s Wartime Survey: “WB” is West Bank, “GS” is Gaza Strip

When presented with the One State for Two Peoples solution that Americans keep saying Palestinians want, Palestinians overwhelmingly say they do not want that, and demonstrate that “From the River to the Sea” is most closely associated with one option for them: a Palestinian State, explicitly differentiated from a state for both peoples.

This is a phrase that is also widely used by militants, rooted in the assumption that every inch belongs to Palestinian Arabs, the refusal to recognize Israel, or Israeli’s right to live anywhere between the river and the sea. Most often when militant groups say they want to liberate Palestine from the river to the sea, this is what they mean:

October 7th—a massacre of more than a thousand Jews—is what Hamas means by liberating Palestine from the River to the Sea.

Not all Palestinians want that. Although a minority in Palestine, 25.3% of them say they support other solutions, most notably a Two State Solution. Outside of Palestine, there are Palestinian citizens of Israel who are active members of Jewish-Arab groups advocating for peace, freedom, and democracy for all, who advocate for ending the occupation (#FreePalestine) but understand that pairing that sentiment with the phrase “From the River to the Sea” necessarily implies the claim that the entire land from the river to the sea (including all of Israel) is Palestine, and thus “freeing Palestine” would mean removing Israel entirely.

Elsewhere in the Palestinian diaspora, there are Palestinians who also recognize this:

Far from stemming from anti-Palestinian sentiment or an assumption that Muslims and Arabs are inherently violent, the recognition of what this phrase implies and how it is being used as a dogwhistle to call for the subjugation, removal, or death of Jews stems from the context and how it is being used in practice—and this is an implication most Jews and Palestinians, especially those in Israel and Palestine, recognize.

Just a reminder please check sources, especially on infographics. I saw some disturbing statistics saying "96% of Palestinians support hammas and celebrate the Oct 7th attacks and jihad" and sourced it to AWRAD (a generally trustworthy polling source)

Well I looked up the polls awrad has done since oct.7 and there is nothing remotely like that being reported.

This person just made up statistics and tacked on a trustworthy source to seem legitimate.

Please please please check sources. Not just the names of the sources. Check to see if that source actually said that.

We are Energy Beings: Build it or Lose it

Everyone has an energy and there is so many energies surrounding us, we are an energy being. We are a spiritual being.

Every communication now is through energy, that every radio wave, microwave, every type of television signal, transmission - all of these are energies. That when you deduce them and reduce them to the core, it’s energy. Most powerful energy is the human, insan, “Wa laqad karamna Bani Adam,” that Allah says, “I have honoured your creation”. One of the true honours of the creation is the amount of energy that flows from the soul, from the being, from the nafs, from everything around insan (human being).

A very simple understanding of the tariqas (spiritual paths) is to perfect the energy. Everything that they give us, every practice that is given to us, every teaching of Holy Qur’an, of Hadith an-Nabi ﷺ , of all of the amal and the actions - all reduced to energy, building our energy, perfecting our energy and building a shield of perfection and protection around us.

When doing the Zikr, awrads (a set of dua's (prayers, recitations) and good actions it brings a tranquility within the heart, meaning that the heart becomes very subtle. It begins to understand with the little bit of zikr, it feels the energy. It knows that when it goes somewhere, it’s feeling a heaviness, that this place I went, it’s very heavy. The heart is not going to lie; it’s telling you the charge that is being emitted from the people, from the place, from that location, that it is a very heavy energy. If it’s not positive and giving to you, it’s very simple: it must be negative and taking from you.

This means that if we go to enough places that take energy, your battery becomes empty, my battery becomes empty. The more this negative charge goes, the more this negative charge goes, then as the battery becomes empty, your field of protection is now dropped. And again you will see the signs within dunya and within ourselves.

Okay time to tell you what happened yesterday! So you know there’s this colleague that i see here and there. She’s very knowledgeable and spiritual the other day she was talking about an experience she had with her shaykh and i asked how i can get one and she told me to read nafl and ask Allah swt to grant me one. The way she talks about Islam is just filled with so much conviction and love. Anyway she’s very helpful, bless her. So on Friday when i was sitting with my work bestie and the woman mentioned the Prophet’s ascent to the heavens I forgot the context cause she talks like 100 miles an hour. I told her I didn’t know much about it. So yesterday in the morning I get a call and I hadn’t saved her number so it was even more of a surprise.

She was like “i got you a book about the prophet saws i thought would be really useful to you, can you come downstairs to get it?” I was like wow. “awww i love book recommendations, you’re amazing!” i went to her office, and before engaging in any conversation🤣 i straight up asked her “are you a salafi”. Probably not the best way to ask but you gotta be careful where you get your guidance from and you made me become very cautious of them haha. She said no and she went into telling me how her daughter married a Salafi, whose dad is a scholar of a Salafi and she said it’s her test from God to her and she’s been trying her hardest to bring her daughter back but she hasn’t been able to and now her daughter tells her that she’s doing everything wrong. she was like to me “i always thought you were a salafi, idk why! The other day when you asked me about a shaykh I didn’t wanna give you mine bc i thought you wouldn’t agree with him.” She seemed way too happy to find out I wasn’t one, she even hugged me haha. the cynical in me was a bit suspicious but i don’t wanna give into my negative thoughts, isn’t it Sunnah or like obligatory to assume the best of people? She told me she was praying fajr today and I kept on coming in her mind and she started going through her books and picked that one for me. 😭 I was amused at the fact that she thought I was a Salafi. Bruh I didn’t even know what they were like a month ago.

Anyway, it gets better. We were talking a lot, she told me a few stories and gave more advice about tests, shaytan and to always read ayatul kursi. Much needed reminders. Her passion gave me the push i needed. (Yours too) And then!! I looked at the book she picked out for me and it was about the Isra Wal Mi’raj, i was so happy cause I remembered you told me to learn about it plusss a fundamental part that is missing from my journey is learning more about the prophet saws and she could sense that bc of what i said the other day. She gave another book she had in her drawer it’s called “Mawlid ad-Dayba’i: celebrating the birth of the prophet Muhammad saws”. It’s a book with Qasidas of the prophet saws. It’s a light read. Then she wanted to give me her copy of “Dala'il Al Khayrat” but I told her that i will print one out so i did. She told me the story behind it. Isn’t this all miraculous??? I gained so much knowledge and it was the timing just when i started to do more dhikr, my adkhars. OH and i asked if she likes imam ghazali hoping to understand her feelings towards him and she was like “Ooomg” and she gently hit my arm out of happiness hahah and i told her im reading his books. She mentioned Rumi, I didn’t know what to say and she was spelling his name out lool as well and told me check him out. And she told me to read another awrad called the naqshbandi awrad and told me more about her shaykh and omg you know what was the most exciting part?? She talked about how it removes the veil between Allah aaaand that’s what im currently reading about in the Ihya Uloom ud-Din. This conversation just felt.. directly God sent. Like it couldn’t have been clearer that it was God-sent.
