I've Been Thinking:
A new study was just release by the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center, a Palestinians outlet that often takes polls and then presents and sends out messages about issues of import to the Palestinians.
They took a poll of 1200 people.
62% favor negations with Israel over a solution.
75% believe that the UN vote was justified.
51% feel that more violence against Israel is required.
If an election were held today, 43% would vote for Abbas and 29% would vote for Ismael Haniyah the head of Hamas.
These figures underscore conflicting realities within the Palestinian community. Palestinians are interested in a solution - but they also feel that attacking Israel is okay.
Most importantly, we now know that Mahmoud Abbas is much more popular than most people thought he was.
