I wonder what the poll numbers are now on whether the Israelis should annex the territories and transfer the Arab population....

And the Israelis say 60% to 40% that they should help them to commit suicide by bombing them.

Here is my personal poll.

I support Israel dismanteling their security fence..... and then rolling tanks through the entire Palestinian squatter camps, chasing out all the Palestinians to neighboring Arab lands. And then re-erecting the security fence.

And if any of the Arab countries come to the "aid" of their Palestinian "brothers", militarily, let Israel take the gloves off and remove the islamo-facist blight from the earth, by ANY means necessary.

Of course that means the U.N. will denounce Israel. But that means the U.S should denounce the U.N.

Definitely no 5.5(3.9)

Now there's a solid base to build a modern rights-respecting state on!

This is a bit more complete. More evidence that the wall will work.

http://www.pcpsr.org/survey/polls/2004/p12ejoint.html
A majority of the Palestinians (59%) supports continued suicide bombings inside Israel if an opportunity arises. Similarly, a great majority of the Israelis (67%) support pursuing the policy of focused assassinations if an opportunity arises despite the decrease in the level mutual of violence in the past few months. The level of perceived threat in both publics also remains high with 78% of the Israelis and 77% of the Palestinians feeling that their safety and that of their families are not assured these days. Thus support for mutual cessation of violence remains very high (90% among Israelis and 79% among Palestinians). If such cessation is obtained, a majority of 55% of the Palestinians would support taking measures by the PA to prevent further armed attacks on Israeli targets. Also support for long range reconciliation between the two peoples remains very high (72% among Palestinians and 80% among Israelis) even though 43% of the Palestinians and 28% of the Israelis believe such reconciliation is not possible ever.

If I remember correctly, the No group has increased significantly from previous polls. That may be much more relevant in the long term than the raw numbers of this one.

The article also doesn't say whether the poll was taken in such a way that those being polled were free of possible intimidation. Answering No on this poll could be hazardous to your health in Palestine.

Israel can stop the suicide bombing in 30 days if they had the guts.

It is called GPS and random numbers. Map plots Palestine locations of terrorist hangout (that would be all of Palestine) On a terrorist bombing random number generates GPS cords. The reply to the bombing is exponential. One bomb gets two RB response. 2 bombs get four GSP response. Three gets nine and so on.

It is time the civilized world realizes there are a lot of uncivilized people trying to kill anyone and that means you. Who does not believe as they do.

So as the Muslims said in ancient times convert or die!!

My answer is bang you are dead.

Hanoi John and Hanoi Jane were and are terrorist.

I prefer to look at the bright side. This is lower than last year, and also lower than the all-time high.
I figure, if the trend continues, by 2057 these sandmaggots may almost be ready to have an intelligent human-type dialog.

Well, US voters picked Bill Clinton twice for President and gave him high polling numbers during the Lewinsky scandal...does that mean America loves Bill Clinton?

TThe Palestinian poll numbers are deplorable, though. There's still a lot of residual hatred against Israel.

What with has happened in Russia in the last few days, none of this may be of any long term concern.

Keep in mind, a big difference between Russia and the USA, is that Russia is an oil exporting nation. A few less oil exporting nations would be very very good for Russia.

Russia is NOT known for "political correctness", and if the Russians consider Mecca, Medina, and Damascus to be good targets for WIPEOUT, well, the "Palestinians" will have lots of bigger problems than the Israelis.

Sound justification for extirpating the illegitimates.
