How to Explain the Massive Support for Hamas among the Palestinian Population
(JNS) Yaakov Lappin - Professor Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University and former head of the Palestinian desk at Israel's Ministry of Strategic Affairs, was asked to explain the massive support for Hamas among the Palestinian population, especially following the widespread destruction in Gaza caused by Hamas's war. Michael highlighted a "sick psychological infrastructure, rotten to the core, [that] has been systematically built and nurtured by the PA and its leaders in local society - through education, media, payment to terrorists and their families, glorification of terrorism and terrorists, and systematic, ongoing indoctrination against Israel and Jews by cultivating the ethos of victim-refugees and armed resistance."
