Most Palestinians in West Bank Oppose Stabbing Attacks on Israelis

[Coyote]

Interesting to see what opinion polls show vs what propoganda claims. There is a big split between Gaza and West Bank and I wonder what that means for the future?

Most Palestinians in West Bank oppose stabbing attacks on Israelis, new poll shows - Israel News

A survey has found a sharp split between Gaza and the West Bank over the latest wave of violence with Israel, with 79 percent in Gaza backing the stabbing attacks on Israelis, compared to 54 percent of Palestinians in the West Bank who oppose them.

But the survey, conducted by the Palestinian research institute JMCC, Jeruslem Media and Communications center earlier this month, found further that 55.9 percent of Palestinian support the current intifada, and 41 percent were opposed. The data didn't get into what form of protest Palestinians preferred to the stabbings.

percent were opposed. The data didn't get into what form of protest Palestinians preferred to the stabbings.

Of 1,200 Palestinians above 18 questioned in face-to-face interviews, 69 percent said they still supported a two state solution, with 24.8 percent calling for a single state, but with full equality. The average age of respondents was 38, and the poll had a margin of error of three percent. ​

The article mentions face to face interviews of Arab Muslims in Israel. I have to wonder how many Arab Muslims would admit they support had the interviews been conducted in a more traditional fashion. Or as a blind questionnaire.

While I'm positive there are many Arab Muslims in Israel who want peace I don't think the manor in which this survey was conducted is conducive to realistic results

Only 18 of the 1,200 were face to face.

When did the bar get so low? Its somehow good news that half of Palestinians and 4 in 5 Gazas think stabbing innocent civilian Jews is morally desirable, or at least acceptable?

Yup, pretty bad, or does this mean its some kinda improvement.

Lends a lot of weight to my assertion that the Geneva Conventions should be employed to segregate the combatants from non combatants

There are a lot of low bars in this conflict. Witness Israeli's celebrating the bombing of Gaza with a picnic to watch the bombs. That's acceptable?

Again with the false equivalencies. What percentage of Israelis think it is acceptable to go around stabbing Arab Muslims?

Eh.

I haven't seen any polls so I don't know.

But celebrating watching bombs fall is a pretty low bar (not much different than passing out candy when a terrorist murders someone)

I find it interesting how it is that 46% of a group supports the cold-blooded murder of poeple of a certain ethnicity and this is being spun as a GOOD thing.

I honestly think the cult of Pallywood has resulted in people losing all perspective of what it means to be human.

If a poll were to reveal that "only" 46 % of whites in South Carolina supported murdering blacks, would we have similar attempts to honor and support this?

Since the perfection of a perverse brand of propaganda aimed at convincing people that utter evil is actually some sort of virtue.

I know, right?

On the one hand people are arguing how reasonable the Palestinians are because "only" 1/2 to 4/5s of them think killing innocent Israelis in the street is morally acceptable while on the other hand are arguing how very awful Israel is because it fails to provide infrastructure and financial support to people acting illegally against the interests of Israel.

The world has gone mad.

My only explanation lies in understanding the behavior of cults. I imagine they didn't start out this way, but have been conditioned in incremental fashion through many small steps away from humanism and into this realm of utter madness.

doesn't quite compare

Mod Edit - review the rules about posting graphic images.

Looks like the Gazan leadership is all about the stabbings

Palestinian shot dead in West Bank was Hamas fighter: party

Quote

The Israeli army said three Palestinians had tried to kill Israelis in two separate attacks on Monday but all three were shot dead, while an army officer and three soldiers were wounded.

The Palestinian health ministry named the perpetrators as Jaber, Amir Juneidi and Yousef Taraya.

The Qassam statement said Jaber was a member of a brigade formed in 2004. It said he was arrested in 2006 and detained for 42 months for belonging to Hamas, before opening a fruit and vegetable shop.

I could post grotesque and bloody pictures of injured children from the Gaza bombings. Does that compare?

Is it really ok to celebrate, with a picnic or a barbacue....the bombing of civilian centers in Gaza?

No actually it doesn't.

The fact is that the Arab Muslims hide behind their woman and children relishing the opportunity to show injured or dead civilians and cry about how the evil Israeli's are at fault when in fact we all know they were used as human shields.

The Arab Muslims in my picture are killing their own and dragging their corpses through the street in order to intimidate others.

There is absolutely no comparison.

To put things in some perspective, my OP was aimed at those claiming overwelming support of Palestinians for knife attacks.

And, to address this very dishonest claim - "very awful Israel is because it fails to provide infrastructure and financial support to people acting illegally against the interests of Israel"

My argument, in relation to THAT comment, has been Israel's discrimminatory actions towards Arab Israeli Citizens. Do you somehow overlook that?

Do you have a double standard here? Infrastructure and financial support is provided to Jewish settlers but denied to Arab Israeli's? How many Arab Israeli (citizens mind you) - have been permitted to start new settlements in Area C? Are honest enough to at least present the arguments truthfully?
