Surprise: Most 'Palestinians' think 'peace talks' are dead

Yes, most of the 'Palestinians' have also figured out that the 'peace talks' are dead.

The poll, which covered some 1,000 Palestinians from the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, was conducted by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion between November 27 and December 10.

The survey showed that 56 percent of the Palestinians expect a fresh confrontation with Israel. 
According to the poll, 51% of respondents expressed opposition to the talks with Israel, while only 33% supported their continuation.

Another 56% of respondents said they did not expect the negotiations to lead to peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

The poll showed that 57% of Palestinians expect the talks with Israel to fail as opposed to only 19% who predicted success.

Another 53% of respondents said they did not believe that the Israeli government is genuinely interested in the success of the peace talks, the survey showed.

I guess US Secretary of State John FN Kerry has done a great job in laying the groundwork for these talks, hasn't he?
