OBVIOUSLY, the Palistanis want war, the destruction of Israel, and genocide against Jews. This makes them unfit partners for peace. This makes them fit for nothing - except to be shunned. Unilateral separation allows them to be shunned. By Israel and the rest of the civilized world.
The poll result that will not make the mainstream media at all is the fact that only 4% of Palestinian Arabs reject terror altogether. The question is ambiguously worded, but what is entirely clear is that the vast majority of Palestinian Arabs want to see continued attacks against Jewish civilians (what is euphemistically called "resistance.")The poll - by Bir Zeit University - also shows that 61% support Hamas in their refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist.

So what? A recent poll of Israeli Jews showed a majority favored expulsion of the total Palestinian population. Hareetz found the results embarrasing and damaging,rightly, to Israel's image as a "democracy."
ReplyDeletehere are the actuakl results;
ReplyDelete(and while I think that they show a growing discontent with so-called "peace initiatives" and a growing hardline - they are are far cry from favoring terror; paintin git as EQUIVALENTg to the results of the palistani poll reveals a lot about the person who posted above: moral relativist/"dove" - who excuses terror that's directed against israel/jews/usa. IOW: a typical leftist):

Some 46 percent of Israel's Jewish citizens favor transferring Palestinians out of the territories, while 31 percent favor transferring Israeli Arabs out of the country, according to the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies' annual national security public opinion poll.
In 1991, 38 percent of Israel's Jewish population was in favor of transferring the Palestinians out of the territories while 24 percent supported transferring Israeli Arabs.
When the question of transfer was posed in a more roundabout way, 60 percent of respondents said that they were in favor of encouraging Israeli Arabs to leave the country.
The results of the survey also reveal that 24 percent of Israel's Jewish citizens believe that Israeli Arabs are not loyal to the state, compared to 38 percent who think the Arabs were loyal to the state at the beginning of the intifada.
The poll, overseen by Prof. Asher Arian, also finds that Jewish public opinion is Israel has become more extreme on issues of foreign affairs and defense as well as on possible concessions by Israel during peace talks in particular.
A representative sample of 1,264 Jewish residents of Israel were polled for the survey last month in face-to-face interviews.
Israeli-Arabs pose a threat to Israel's security, according to 61 percent of the Jewish population, while around 80 percent are opposed to Israeli-Arabs being involved in important decisions, such as delineating the country's borders, up from 75 percent last year and 67 percent in 2000.
Some 72 percent of Jewish Israelis are opposed to Arab parties being part of a coalition government, compared to 67 percent last year and 50 percent in 1999.
This overall shift to the right has been coupled by a significant fall in support for the Oslo process; down from 58 percent last year, to 35 percent this year. Support for the establishment of a Palestinian state has also dropped from 57 percent last year to 49 percent this year.
Only 40 percent of Jewish Israelis support transfering control of Arab areas of East Jerusalem to the Palestinians as part of a peace agreement, compared with 51 percent last year. There has also been a fall in the number of people willing to leave the settlements as part of an agreement with the Palestinians: 49 percent are in favor of Israel leaving the settlements, apart from large blocs, under a permanent status agreement, compared to 55 percent last year.
Around 41 percent of those polled said that the acts of Palestinian violence have made them less open to compromise, while just 10 percent said that the on-going violence has had the opposite effect."

expulsion is no longer considered okay - if precticed by the West. though the Left and the UN heartly accepots it if it's applied to Jewqs in the occupied territories and other arabs/muslim nations.
after WW2 MILLIONS of ethnic Germans were expelled from many nations. MILLIONS. what was acceptable then is no longer acceptable - EXCEPT by arabs/muslims.
expulsion is a form of ethnic cleansing.
it is better if we can get people to live together - pluralism is better than segregation.
and i'll say this: as long as it is undafe for a JEW to live in the west bank or gaza or syria or jirdan or egypt or iraq etc, Israel will have trouble in the neighborhood.
meanwhile ARABS and Muslims live without fear in Israel - and with more human rights.
it's
not
fair.
ignoring this injustice/imbalance is a feature of ANTI-SEMITISM.
