A
newly published poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey
Research (PCPSR), provide an interesting view of the thoughts and opinions of
the Palestinian Arabs regarding different subjects. Several provide an insight
into how the Palestinians see both Palestinian-Israel relations and internal
Palestinian Arab issues. While the United States and the European Union often
present what they believe the Palestinians are thinking, the reality is far
different.
Palestinian-Israeli relations
- Palestinian Arab support for
terror
According
to the survey, the Palestinian Arab support for terror against Israel is
multi-faceted and includes, inter alia, substantial support - 71% of
the population - for the cold-blooded murder of brothers Yagel and Hallel Yaniv,
aged 19 and 21 respectively, by Hamas terrorist Abd Al-Fattah Kharousha, while
they were driving on a main road through Huwara.
In
addition to supporting the cold-blooded murder of Israelis, substantial parts
of the Palestinian Arabs (68%) support the creation of armed terror groups to
attack Israelis and 83% of them are against the surrender of existing terror
groups.
87%
of Palestinian Arabs believe that the PA Security Forces do not have the right
to arrest members of these armed groups to prevent them from carrying out
attacks against Israel. A majority of 63% say it supports the ending of
security coordination with Israel.
When
asked about the most effective means of “ending the Israeli occupation and
building an independent state,” the report says that 77% of Palestinian
Arabs chose violence. 54% chose armed struggle - i.e., to engage in
all-out terror similar to the PA-launched 2000 – 2005 terror campaign. 23%
chose “popular resistance” – i.e., the PA euphemism that includes sporadic
terror attacks like shootings, stabbings, and car rammings. Only 18% of the
Palestinian Arabs chose the path of “negotiations.”
These
statistics are particularly significant since they reflect a rise in support
for violence and a decline in support for negotiations, compared to a similar
survey conducted a year ago, as exposed by Palestinian
Media Watch. Then, support for violence stood at 68% while 25% of
Palestinians supported negotiations.
- What political solution do the
Palestinian Arabs support?
According
to the survey, only 27% support the so-called “Two-State solution”.
Most Palestinian Arabs (74%) appear to have embraced the PA propaganda, and
believe that the two-state solution is “no longer practical or feasible due to
the expansion of Israeli settlements”. This, notwithstanding the fact that all
the Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip were evacuated in 2005, that there
are no Israeli settlements in areas A or B of Judea and Samaria (which together
make up 40% of the area), and that the Israeli settlements in area C
cover no more than 2.5% of that area.
The
same percentage (74%) also believe that the chances of creating a Palestinian
state alongside the State of Israel in the next five years are slim or
nonexistent.
While
they are skeptical about the possibility of creating a Palestinian state, 75%
of them are opposed to the suggestion of Mahmoud Abbas to demand one
Israeli-Palestinian state.
Interestingly,
in a question about the main problem confronting Palestinian society today, 26%
say it is corruption; 21% say it is unemployment and poverty; while only 20%
say it is the continuation of the Israeli “occupation and settlement
construction.”
Regarding
the Arab residents of Jerusalem, who the PA considers “Palestinians”, a
separate recent PCPSR study, found that 38% of the respondents believe that
East Jerusalem should be under Palestinian sovereignty, 19% would prefer
Israeli sovereignty and 14% do not want anyone to have sovereignty over the
city. The remainder want the city to be under 25% international sovereignty
(25%) or Islamic/Arab sovereignty (3%).
The
findings are significant when compared to the same PCPSR survey conducted in
2010, in which 52% of the respondents supported Palestinian sovereignty over
East Jerusalem and only 6% supported Israeli sovereignty.
A
similar trend was also identified in the preferences of the Jerusalem Arabs
regarding citizenship as part of a permanent political solution. In the current
study, 58% of the Jerusalem Arabs said that they would prefer Palestinian
citizenship (down from 63% in 2010) while 37% said they would prefer Israeli
citizenship (up from 24% in 2010).
