Truly a war of the peoples - Palestinian Poll
Poll: Palestinians back Shalit abduction
In 2003 the palestinians in a poll backed the idea by 58% that any peace with Israel was to be only a waystation to it's extinction, even if that meant the occupation and war went on forever. This view reflects perfectly what their leaders had insisted on since 1919, when they refused to have their children educated side by side with jewish children in public education.In 2005 by a majority of 58% they elected HAMAS.
An overwhelming majority of Palestinians support the abduction of IDF soldier Cpl. Gilad Shalit and the firing of rockets at Israel, according to a public opinion poll published on Sunday by the Jerusalem Media Communications Center.The poll, which was conducted shortly after the kidnapping, also showed that 70 percent of Palestinians believe that Hamas should not release Shalit until Israel agrees to free Palestinian prisoners.
The poll covered 1,197 people over age 18 and was held on the basis of face-to-face interviews. More than half of those polled were from the Gaza Strip, where Shalit is being held.
A majority of the respondents, 77.2%, expressed support for the Hamas operation that included the abduction of Shalit, while only 21.7% said they opposed it.
Also, a majority of 66.8% supported the continuation of such attacks aimed at kidnapping Israeli soldiers, compared with 30.7% who rejected them, saying they were harmful to Palestinian national interests.
