Survey Of Palestinians: 61% Reject A Two-State Solution

The survey of Palestinians indicates that 61% reject a two-state solution,73% agreed with a quote from the Hamas charter (and Islamic hadith) about the need to kill Jews hiding behind stones and trees, 80% agreed with a quote from the Hamas Charter about the need for battalions from the Arab and Islamic world to defeat the Jews.

The survey also says that "among Palestinians in general 65% preferred talks and 20% violence." Someone explain that one to me, because if a strong majority don't support a two-state solution, what exactly do they want to talk about? "Bibi, let's sit down and talk about how we can work together to destroy the State of Israel."

Or perhaps in truth is makes perfect sense. In fact the Palestinians seem to have rightly come to realize that "talks" only result in Israeli concessions and the Palestinians having to give nothing in return. Therefore talks can be used to gain a stronger position toward the eventual goal that their majority supports that is the destruction of the Jewish State. This is in perfect line with past "moderate" Palestinian strategy, as former PA Minister Faysal Al-Husseini explicitly said in his last interview before his death in June 2001, the negotiations of Oslo were a Trojan Horse where "our ultimate goal is [still] the liberation of all historical Palestine from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea."
