Poll: Nearly 40% of Gazans and 30% of Judea and Samaria 'Palestinians' would like to emigrate
A poll taken in the month of April, and published by the 'Palestinian' Center for Development Studies on Wednesday, shows that 39.6% of Gazans and 28.8% of Judea and Samaria 'Palestinians' would like to emigrate. Here are some of the poll highlights: 1. How do you describe the current economic situation of your family?Note especially that most 'Palestinians' do not claim to have been abused by the 'occupation army' (and I would bet that many of the claims that were made have been exaggerated), and that despite the fact that most 'Palestinians' would accept solutions that Israel has offered, a plurality of 'Palestinians' want to use both 'resistance and negotiations' and substantial numbers want to leave. I view that as despair that the 'Palestinian' leadership will ever accept a solution to the 'Palestinian' problem offered by Israel.

I'm in favor of annexing Yesha. The demographic issue posed by the Arabs is solvable once the Israeli government adopts a policy that encourages Arab emigration.
If they want to leave - WHY aren't we letting them? ARGH.
According to that poll the vast majority of Palestinains (sic) - 60.5% - support resistance as a means to "achieve national liberation and establishment of the independent state"
- Armed resistance 18.0
- Using both resistance and negotiations 42.5
Now where did I put my gun license application...?
Yeah, put some more pressure on the Gaza-strip, if 40% wants te emigratie, it could finally lead to the only acceptable solution: Gaza goes to Egypt, the jewish settlements on the West-Bank should expand rapidly because the West-Bank too is jewish land, and the arabs who call themselves Palestinians, can finally join their homeland in Jordan. What a happy ending!
