Israel-Palestine
88 percent of ’Palestinian’ Arabs want Hamas in any elections
2004-07-05
A Palestinian poll published on Monday revealed that 64 percent of the Palestinians support an Egyptian initiative for security in the Gaza Strip in case of an Israeli pullout.
The other 36% will become more enthusiastic after being visited by the Egyptian police.
Meanwhile, 88 percent of Palestinians encourage the Islamic resistance movement Hamas to participate in elections, according to the poll, made by the Palestinian Central for Political Studies AND published on the Jerusalem-based "Al-Quds" daily. The poll also revealed that81 percent of Palestinians agree on merging the Palestinian security apparatuses. The poll said that 87 percent of Palestinians approve on appointing a new and more active interior minister while 53 percent approve on Egypt’s intention to send Egyptian security experts to the territories. Meanwhile, the poll revealed that 60 percent agree on sending international forces to the territories in order to take over the Gaza Strip’s passages and ports.
Send in the mighty Uruguayans!
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s unilateral plan was approved only by 34 percent of Palestinians while only 24 percent of them believe that Sharon was serious about the evacuation. Moreover, the poll said that 58 percent of Palestinians residing in the Gaza Strip approve on destroying the Jewish settlements, due to be evacuated by Israel as part of the unilateral evacuation plan. The poll, performed between June 24-27, targeted a random sample comprising of 1,320 Palestinians residing in different areas of the territories.
"targeted"? There's an interesting use of the word.

#6  Paeo utilities work, with OUR money. The locals are too busy trying to push the Jooos into teh sea to fix their treated water, sewer, power facilities. If all the money they collect went to good deeds they'd be further ahead, but then again, they wouldn't be Paleos, the losers of the Middle East

#5  'the UN's barely concealed anti-Semitism,' Bingo! Right on the money!

88% favour Hamas, that is the bottom line. A people dedicated to terrorism. 88% is an overwhelming landside in anyone's book!

Yes. Surprizingly, the Paleo municipal services do work. They don't have 1st world efficiency (for example, the water isn't very good and I think the ISM terror enablers probably buy bottled water).

#3  mhw - The Paleos have garbage, water, and sewage service?

It's not evident from the pictures we're always seeing.

Not sure about postal service - can they read and write? Do they use it for mailing bomb components?

#2  the fact that 88% of Paleos want Hamas to be in elections also could mean that Hamas would be more trusted to maintain garbage, water, sewage and postal service than Yassir's gang.

#1  Meanwhile, 88 percent of Palestinians encourage the Islamic resistance movement Hamas to participate in elections, according to the poll ...

While Hamas takes great pains to cloak its subversion with humanitarian activities, their involvement in terrorism is apparent to all. That 88% of Palestinians seek political inclusion for a known terrorist organization is an effective popular avowal of terrorism.

Palestine must now be shown the political door. Their leaders and people alike should be marginalized by all countries and their infant government strangled in the cradle. All of it is infected beyond hope of survival.

In light of the UN's barely concealed anti-Semitism, perhaps they should somehow be compelled to police the Palestinian territories. I would find it rather amusing to have these spineless dweebs put in terrorism's crossfire for a change. The notion of Hamas et al, happily blowing away those morons who de facto sanctioned the Intifada would be more than hilarious.
