According to a new poll, 83% of Palestinians want a “mutual cessation of violence”. That’s good, right?
Not exactly. The poll also says that:
- 77% of Palestinians supported the Beersheva bus bombings
- 75% support the firing of rockets from Beit Hanoun into Israel
- 74% see Sharon’s disengagement plan as evidence of a victory for armed struggle
- 64% believe that armed conflict have helped the Palestinians achieve their national rights in a way that negotiations could not.
I can only assume that the 83% of Palestinians who want a mutual cessation of violence figure that the violence will stop when there are no more Israelis.
It’s obvious that the Arabs who call themselves “Palestinians” want to kill all the Jews and steal their land. As Golda Meir said, “There will never be peace until the Arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews.” Their hatred is getting worse everyday. Unfortunatley I don’t see any hope for a peaceful resolution.
