Opinionsundersökning bland palestinierna

Jerusalem Post rapporterar om en opinionsundersökning bland palestinierna på västbanken och i Gaza som inte ger mycket hopp om en fredlig lösning i området.
Eftersom de palestinska myndigheterna fortgående matar befolkningen med TV program och tidningsartiklar som beskriver hela området väster om Jordanfloden, inklusive Israel, som palestiniernas hemland som skall återtas är resultat i undersökningen inte så förvånande.
Endast 34% säger att de stöder en tvåstatslösning som går ut på "två stater för två folk".
66% uppgav att det verkliga målet bör vara att starta med en tvåstatslösning för att sedan gå vidare och göra allt till en palestinsk stat.
6 in 10 Palestinians reject 2-state solution, survey finds
"Asked about the fate of Jerusalem, 92% said it should be the capital of Palestine, 1% said the capital of Israel, 3% the capital of both, and 4% a neutral international city.Seventy-two percent backed denying the thousands of years of Jewish history in Jerusalem, 62% supported kidnapping IDF soldiers and holding them hostage, and 53% were in favor or teaching songs about hating Jews in Palestinian schools.When given a quote from the Hamas Charter about the need for battalions from the Arab and Islamic world to defeat the Jews, 80% agreed. Seventy-three percent agreed with a quote from the charter (and a hadith, or tradition ascribed to the prophet Muhammad) about the need to kill Jews hiding behind stones and trees."

Palestinians Cannot Accept Less than 100% (Khaled Abu Toameh)
"Like the radicals, the "moderate" camp is also saying that it will not and cannot make any concessions to Israel on its territorial demands.
With such positions, it is hard to see how the peace process could lead to anything positive. The radicals do not want to negotiate with Israel because they do not recognize its right to exist and believe it should be wiped off the face of the earth. The so-called moderates say they are ready to return to the negotiating table, but only if Israel agrees in advance to give them 100% of their demands.
Yet the central problem is that even if Israel does accept all their demands, neither camp is willing to commit to ending the conflict. This is basically why the 2000 Camp David summit failed – because Yasser Arafat was not prepared to sign any document that called for end of conflict even after a peace deal were reached between Israel and the Palestinians.
Further, no "moderate" Palestinian leader would dare to sign such a document out of fear of being denounced by his people -- and the rest of the Arab and Islamic countries -- for having "sold out" to Israel by giving up the claim to all of the land."
