In a poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion (PCPO), results showed that over half of the participants support PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen)’s call among Palestinians to put an end to the militarization of the Intifada.
In the latest poll prepared by Dr. Nabil Kukali and conducted by the PCPO in the period between December 17 to December 19, a random sample of 1010 Palestinian adults was included, representing the demographic models in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip.
The poll revealed that 56.8% of the Palestinians support the call of Abbas to put an end to the militarization of the Intifada, while 38.6% oppose it and 4.6% are still reluctant to respond to that question.
One can notice from the results of this poll that the call found with (60.6%) a more positive echo among the West Bank population in comparison with that of the Gaza Strip (48.7%).
Ping
I'm sure 80% in Iraq want peace too.
But that aint the way it's done in the heart(less)land of terrorism, that wonderful place known as the ME.
Great news. Problem is those 40% will make it a living hell for the 60% that wants a ral solution and end to violence.
I can't really bring myself to be optimistic but maybe there is hope.
Before drawing any conclusions, one should ask to see the exact and full wording of the question on that poll.
Yes, and I'd like to see how it was conducted.
Remember in this part of the world if you say what you really think there could be....consequences.
