Two recent polls find a vast majority of Arabs supporting terror attacks and a growing Israeli majority opposed to further withdrawals.
A recent Palestinian Authority poll shows that 84 percent of PA Arabs approve of the massacre at Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva in Jerusalem, where eight students were murder and ten wounded.
The poll, carried out by Ramallah-based pollster Khalil Shikaki, interviewed 1,270 PA Arabs. 64 percent support the rocket attacks on Israeli cities and towns such as Sderot and Ashkelon launched from Hamas-controlled Gaza. Those who oppose the attacks don’t necessarily do so on moral grounds, but rather strategic considerations.
A slim majority of PA Arabs support Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas for president over Fatah’s Mahmoud Abbas.
In February of last year, a Near East Consulting (NEC) poll found that 75 percent of PA Arabs do not think that Israel has a right to exist.
Referring to the most recent poll, Zionist Organization of America President Morton Klein said the results were not surprising. "This poll, unfortunately, merely confirms the results of innumerable earlier polls, showing Palestinians to approve of terrorism that targets innocent Jewish men, women and children and rejecting peace or co-existence with Israel as a Jewish state. In these circumstances, it is clear that a Palestinian state would be nothing more that the world's newest terrorist state. It would be folly for either Israel or the United States to support the establishment of a Palestinian state under such conditions and it noteworthy that the former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff, Lt.-Gen. Moshe Yaalon, former CIA director R. James Woolsey and pre-eminent Middle East historian Bernard Lewis have all come out in opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state."

by all means, lets send them more guns and aid money. They soo deserve their own state.
I’ll bet all those PA terror supporters live in Philly too!
If they want their own state, then cede them to New Jersey! /sarc
The religion of peace!
And the other 15% are lying!
I wonder what the percentage would be at Reverend Wright’s church.
LOL, good retort there...
Yeah, real smart to give these miscreants billions of dollars.
Could we conduct the same poll with Obama supporters?
It would have to be oral. Most Obama cultists can't read.
“it is clear that a Palestinian state would be nothing more that the world’s newest terrorist state. It would be folly for either Israel or the United States to support the establishment of a Palestinian state”
This is something worth repeating. Personally I think they aught to go in there using our toys and knock these guys out overnight. Get this done.
They just figured this out?
Well, from this poll, it seems that 85% of these palestinians are in favor of it, so in the spirit of democracy, yes, we should go in and wipe them out.
Yup. NJ or MA, both works for me.
Tomorrow,we’ll read that there was a mysterious decrease
of the PA. population by 15%.
Surprise, anyone?
Puts to rest the old saw.

and the other 15% hope they 85% that are terrorists don’t kill them.
