Even the IDF disagrees with you, those numbers were faked by Hamas to make themselves look more popular than they were.

The IDF can't be trusted to tell you the sky is blue. Even if I support Israel's right to fight I'm well aware of how they operate from a propaganda standpoint.
They even say they don't think the Pollsters were working with Hamas, but that Hamas was somehow clandestinely changing the results anyways. Suuure they are. The group that can barely function is somehow tampering with the results of the polls without the pollster noticing.
"The IDF said the documents do not prove that PCPSR was cooperating with Hamas, but rather that the terror group was conducting clandestine actions to fraudulently influence the results of the polls."
All the IDF says is "we found confidential documents that show they changed the numbers," do you know how easy that would be to fake?
About as easy as it is to fake poll entries. The IDF also has a reason to want people to believe Hamas is very popular. It is a lot better of a look that all the civilians dying are super pro Hamas, than if Hamas only had a minority support.
The IDF wouldn't have said anything when they found the documents if they benefit from it not being known.
Never heard of working both sides of a narrative? They absolutely do want most people to think Hamas has a majority support by Palestinians. If you don't believe me, look in the mirror, and think about your own argument here. However, it won't hurt that narrative to post this, as it is largely framed as a "can't trust anything coming out of Palestine" narrative. The fine details of which will be lost in the fire-hose of reasons that Palestinians super support them, so it's ok to kill them, rhetoric. Just look up how many articles out there cover this, verses how many ran with the false data.
However, I know you are completely entrenched in your ideology here, so I am gonna stop here, there will be no changing your mind.
