Nearly 89 percent of Palestinians support Hamas and other terrorists firing rockets from the Gaza Strip at Israeli civilians, according to a new poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion (PCPO).
As Israelis wait to see if yet another ceasefire agreement with Hamas will hold, the poll shows broad support among Palestinians for Hamas’ most recent rocket assault on the Jewish state, which has been hit by more than 4,000 missiles in the past month.
The poll of 1,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip found that 88.9 percent of those surveyed supported “the firing of rockets from Gaza at Israel,” according to the findings.
This is a significant increase since January, when the PCPO found that just 49.1 percent supported such actions.
“The deterrence of the Palestinian Resistance has increased in the wake up of the Israeli military operation ‘Protective Edge,’” the PCPO concluded in a statement.
When asked by a pollster, “Would you please tell us your opinion about the issue of firing rockets at Israel,” just over 60 percent of Palestinians polled responded that they “strongly support that.” Another 28.6 percent stated, “I support that,” while just 1 percent said, “I oppose that,” according to the poll.
While a majority of Palestinians surveyed supported rocket attacks on Israel, just 15.9 percent said that it was “the most successful act of the Palestinian Resistance in retaliation for the recent Israeli aggression,” the poll found.
Another 23.3 percent said that “infiltrating through the enemy lines” was most effective, while 19.8 responded that “the underground border-crossing tunnels” dug by Hamas are the best way to attack Israelis, according to the poll
A large majority of Palestinians—75.4 percent—said that the “deterrence of the Palestinian resistance” has increased during the latest conflict, according to the poll.
A majority of Palestinians also oppose the deployment of an international peacekeeping team to the Gaza Strip, a plan that has been proposed by Israel and others in recent peace talks.
More than 61 percent of those Palestinians polled said that would not support the deployment of a multi-national United Nations team in Gaza. Nearly 64 percent also rated as “negative” the policy positions of U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip additionally expressed broad support for the Red Cross on the U.N. Relief Works Agency (UNRWA), two humanitarian agencies that have allowed their facilities to be used by Hamas terrorists to wage attacks on Israel.
Just over 58 percent of those surveyed said they “are content” with the Red Cross’ performance, while 71.2 percent expressed a similar sentiment toward UNRWA, which, on several occasions, returned to Hamas rockets that had been stored in its facilities.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was found to still have the support of 54 percent of the Palestinians surveyed in Gaza.
More than 93 percent of those polled opposed the disarmament of Palestinian militant groups, but 88 percent supported a long-term truce, according to additional statistics not included in the English version of the poll but reported by the Palestinian media.
The poll was conducted from Aug. 14 to 19 while a temporary ceasefire was in effect by PCPO President Nabil Kukali.
Respondents were selected from 90 different locations across the Gaza Strip. The poll has a 3.1 percent margin of error.
This would suggest that Israel should step up its bombing, even if there are civilians involved, since 89% or the Palestinian population are essentially terrorists.
Yup - no need to worry about the “innocents” any longer, as there are none. The other 11% have probably already been shot by the 89%.
Have at it, Israel!
Stupid to ask people living under the threat of death by their “leaders” if they love their leaders.
muslims are nazis, they must be treated the same.
Wipe them off the face of the earth.
And yet the homos in the U.S. Government and their toady “media” get all upset when one of their beloved so called Palestinians breaks a toe nail. It’s all Israel’s fault.
No kidding! Asked that by the “Palestinian Center for Public Opinion” (!) who would say they oppose it? Wasn’t there just another mass execution by Hamas of those “suspected” of collaborating with Israel?
And 89% of Muslims support the Jihadists, vis-a-vis silently.
Have you seen any Muslim leader condemn Islamic terrorists?
The Morons of the Middle East:
100 Percent of Palestinians Who Support Terror Attacks on Israel Have No Bomb Shelters
If I were Palestinian, I’d say “yes” to this poll, no matter what I really thought. You’d have to trust the pollster with your life to say “No”—you could easily be on the short list to be lined up and shot when they need to find collaborators to punish in order to intimidate the population.
And that’s during a cease fire.
This is never going to change; until God puts an end to it.
If you start in Genesis, you can read the story of Abram and Sarai. They were married a long time; had no children.
Sarai wanted a family, so she offered her “slave maid-servant, Hagar”, an Egyptian woman, to her husband in the hopes they would have a child.
They did .. but the child was a son, Ishmael, and according to Jewish law, he could not become the “son of promise”. It all had to do with the Jewish Marriage Laws. During a Jewish Marriage, the couple enter into a covenant. Thus, only children born under the covenant are legitimate children in the family and entitled to the inheritance.
However, shortly after Ismael was born, Sarai conceived and bore a child named “Isaac”. That’s when their names were changed to Sarah and Abraham.
Therefore, Isaac is the “son of promise”, and inherits all the land and goods from his father, Abraham. Ismael believed he was entitled to the inheritance (being the first born son); but he failed to understand that only Isaac was a product of the Marriage Covenant.
This whole mess in the Middle East is very simple: It’s a war between two half-brothers over the land God gave to their Father, Abraham. The first born son of the “covenant” inherits ALL.
It’s been going on since Genisis .. and only God will be able to put a stop to it .. and HE will .. very soon.
The other 11 percent will be rounded up for beheading. People living under a terrorist government don't always answer honestly.
