In a German poll from 2009, after the Gaza War (2008–09), 30% of the Germans held Hamas accountable for the military operation, while just 13% blamed Israel. A Pew research center poll conducted in 2013 found that 28% of Germans take Israel's side in the Israeli Palestinian conflict, while 26% take Palestinians' side.
These polls highlight the complex and often divided views of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict within Germany, with varying levels of blame assigned to Hamas and Israel, as well as different degrees of support for each side.
