Palestinian poll shows discontent with Hamas, Gaza war
2015-06-10
[YNETNEWS] Gazoo residents are unhappy with the territory's Islamic krazed killer Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rulers and by its war with Israel last summer, a new Paleostinian poll released Tuesday shows.

The poll by the Paleostinian Center for Policy and Survey Research shows that half of Gazoo residents want to emigrate, compared to 25 percent in the West Bank.

The center's director, Khalil Shikaki, said the 50-percent immigration figure in Gazoo is higher than ever before and that among young people it is even higher, about 80 percent.

"There's a very high level of frustration we are seeing in Gazoo more than at any other time in the past year," Shikaki told news hounds by teleconference from the West Bank.

A majority, 63 percent, expressed dissatisfaction with "achievements compared to human and material losses" in the 2014 Gazoo war that killed over 2,200 Paleostinians and 73 people in Israel. Fighting devastated parts of Gazoo and reconstruction has been slow, causing many there to ask if it was worth it.

Of those polled, 63 percent said they support launching rockets at Israel while a blockade is in place. The same number said they favor indirect talks between Hamas and Israel to negotiate a long-term truce in exchange for lifting the blockade.

in 2007, arguing it prevents Hamas from getting more weapons.

Hamas has ruled Gazoo with an iron fist since, leaving Abbas governing parts of the West Bank.

Only 30 percent said they can criticize Hamas without fear. In the West Bank, 32 percent said they could freely criticize Abbas.

Despite the numbers, the poll found that if free elections were held today with just Abbas and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh

President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
competing, Hamas would win in Gazoo and Abbas in the West Bank, both by slim margins.

In Gazoo, 39 percent of those polled said they would vote for Hamas, up from 32 percent a year ago. In the West Bank, support for Hamas has risen to 32 percent from 27 percent three months ago. Fatah weighed in at 36 percent backing, down from 41 percent in March.
