  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere.

How can you conclude that? supporting an attack is not the same as supporting the infliction of casualties during it. In fact that's what the supporters of the current war on Gaza are hiding behind.

Reasons cited for the October 7 attacks included: responding to oppression, particularly attacks
on Al Aqsa (35%), and addressing broader issues such as freeing Palestine, ending the occupation,
and stopping settlements (33%). Breaking the blockade of Gaza was cited as the main reason by
21% of respondents.

That's ~89%

A small percentage (6%) reported that the main reasons behind the war are related to regional
interests. This includes serving the interests of Iran (5%) and stopping the ongoing peace and
normalization process with Israel (1%).

That's the remaining ~11%.

That makes it look like the vast majority of Palestinians are supporting it for the potential of ending their suffering and oppression. Not to kill Jews.
