Just one in four Muslims in the UK believe that Hamas terrorists committed murder and rape in Israel on October 7, according to a British poll.
The survey, cited by the Daily Telegraph, also finds that 46 percent of British Muslims support the Palestinian terror group.
Commissioned by London-based think tank the Henry Jackson Society, the poll comes on the six month anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 massacre, which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst across the border into Israel, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages, mostly civilians, amid horrific acts of brutality and sexual assault.
In terms of UK government policy, the survey finds that almost half (46%) of British Muslims believe Jews have too much power. By way of comparison, only 16% of the general public agrees with this sentiment.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
