| [Ynet] Paleostinian poll finds 85% of Paleostinians think Temple Mount should not have separate gates for Jews; despite pessimistic views, almost 70% believe peace with Israel is possible. Half of Paleostinians anticipate a violent confrontation with Israel in the near future amid daily festivities and rising tensions in Jerusalem, according a poll by the Paleostinian Center for Public Opinion published on Thursday. Out of the 1,000 Paleostinians over the age of 18 polled, only 28 percent don't foresee an escalation of hostilities in the near future. Meanwhile 85.6 percent of respondents agreed with Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... ' statement that opening separate gates for Jews to enter the Temple Mount compound would constitute "a unilateral measure that would torpedo any opportunity for reinstating the grinding of the peace processor." Less than half of the Paleostinians (46.6 percent) support the recent unilateral diplomatic moves Abbas has been pushing - a UN Security Council resolution setting a deadline to "the end of Israeli occupation" and a threat to turn to the ICC should the resolution fail. Out of the rest, only 30.6 percent were against the moves, while 21.2 percent refused to answer the question. The poll indicated there is more support on the Paleostinian street for bilateral diplomatic moves. Over half (54.3 percent) of the Paleostinians support the two-state solution, while a little less than a third (31.3 percent) oppose it. In addition to that, 69.7 percent believe there is a chance peace can be reached with Israel, while only 27.5 percent were pessimistic about the prospects for peace. |

| #2 70% believe peace with Israel is possible. All the Jews have to do is disarm, submit and pay the Jizya like good little dhimmis. |
