Melech 9,900 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 "A new survey released by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah showed that a majority of Palestinian respondents support the current wave of terror stabbings and a violent intifada and oppose a two-state solution with Israel. In the survey, consisting of 1397 adults throughout the West Bank and Gaza, 67 percent of respondents said they supported the use of knife terror attacks against Israelis. Almost three-quarters (73%) said they were against young school girls carrying out these attacks. Another finding showed that 60% of those polled support an armed intifada and 66% think an escalation in violence would positively serve them.A majority of respondents were opposed to a two-state solution with Israel (54%), an increase from three months ago when that same figure stood at 51%. Meanwhile, 70% were opposed to the idea of a one-state solution in which Arabs and Jews would have equal rights. Support for Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas also seemed to be quite low, with 65% of respondents in favor of him resigning. Likewise, 78% believed that PA institutions are corrupt.In Gaza, 41% of respondents there said they were looking to emigrate, with Europe being the most favored destination." http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Survey-shows-60-percent-of-Palestinians-support-a-violent-intifada-against-Israel-437288 Interesting numbers.

LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 They've known nothing but conflict for most of their lives, and it's clear that they're giving up. There will be a reckoning one day for both sides and it's not going to be pretty. If history has taught us anything, it's that revolution in the face of oppression is inevitable. And it's almost always a bloody affair. Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I would call that a declaration of war and fair reason to wipe out 60% of the (sic) abhorrent Palestinian's living under the good graces of Israel. Time to declare martial law. Most countries, for far less reasons would do it." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't raised in a civilized environment like we have. Considering even the Ghandis of the Palestinians have failed to gain traction, I don't know why you're expecting anything less than violence. Rebellion has almost always been bloody. This one just happens to be televised. Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most noteworthy one is Palestinians' demand of a stop of expanding settlements in order to negotiate, something Israel refused to do, to the criticism of Western political authority.

Didymus 34,380 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 These results are also interesting, they're not in Simon's (Israeli) article: "An overwhelming majority of 88% believes that ISIS is a radical group that does not represent true Islam and 7% believe it does represent true Islam. 5% are not sure or do not know. In the Gaza Strip, 10% (compared to 5% in the West Bank) say ISIS represents true Islam." "77% support and 20% oppose the war waged by Arab and Western countries against ISIS." "Furthermore, an overwhelming majority of 82% believes that Israel’s long term aspiration is to annex the lands occupied in 1967 and expel their population or deny them their rights. 16% believe that Israel’s long term aspiration is to insure its security and withdraw from all or most of the territories occupied in 1967."

lego 44,165 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 When Western politicians like Clinton promise to outlaw BDS, boycotting Israel, the only non violent way to protest against this occupation - what kind of message does that send to Palestinians? When they are being burned alive and Israeli state does not consider it terrorism, when there are different laws and punishments for Israelis and Palestinians (for same crimes), what kind of message does that send to Palestinians? What is there left for them to do? To submit and die as sheep? They are dying anyway. They are being killed every day. I don't get what this title is suppose to show, that they should be wiped off? As many comments always suggest. I don't get it. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
