A new poll of Palestinian Arabs from An Najah University shows that many Palestinian Arabs have no ability to think beyond the absurd propaganda they are force fed by their media.
When asked the question, “From your point of view who bears the responsibility for the explosion that targeted the motorcade of Prime Minister, Dr. Rami Hamdallah, during his visit to Gaza?” 17% said Hamas, 9% Fatah, 25% said some other Palestinian group – and 32% said Israel.
The poll also indicated that the zero sum mentality of Palestinians is fully in force. That is the only way to explain the anomalous results where 40% say they support “the creation of a Palestinian state on the 1967
borders as a final solution for the Palestinian cause” while only 22% say they support ” the creation of a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with some land exchange as a final solution for the Palestinian cause.”
The results show that Palestinians aren’t interested in their own state even on the 1967 lines, because they want all of Israel (that question was not asked but other polls show this to be true.) However, the high opposition to a state with land swaps shows that they are against anything Israel might support – in other words, if Israelis want peace with land swaps, then Palestinians must oppose it.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
