The results of new market research conducted by the Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD)1 among Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip and Judea and Samaria (West Bank) give a penetrating insight into the mindset of the Palestinians. For over three decades, the international community has supported both the Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority; the results of the survey show that Palestinians overwhelmingly support terrorism, reject peace, and are fundamentally ungrateful towards the countries that have supported and funded them.
The Palestinian attitudes reflected in the survey do not grow a vacuum. Instead, they are representative of the complete adoption of the constant and poisonous messaging of the PA. They are an accurate, albeit bleak, and painful reflection of the total implosion of the Oslo paradigm.
If the international community truly seeks peace in the Middle East and a brighter future for all its residents, policies must change, and a new paradigm must be adopted.
As Israel’s war on Palestinian terror continues, the following are selected results from the AWRAD survey.
When taken as a whole, the results indicate that an overwhelming percentage of Palestinians support the October 7 massacre (75šµ, reject coexistence with Israel (85.9šµ, are committed to the restoration of “historical Palestine” as a final resolution (71.1šµ, and support the creation of a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea” (74.7šµ as the end of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Interestingly, there is more support for the 10/7 massacre from the Palestinians resident in Judea and Samaria (83.1šµ than those residing in the Gaza Strip (63.6šµ.
Support for Terror Organizations
The Palestinian positive perception of the terror organizations remains high despite their role in carrying out the massacre and the disastrous results. Breaking down the response, 76% believe that Hamas plays a somewhat to very positive role; 84% believe that Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) plays a somewhat to very positive role; 79.8% believe that Fatah’s terror wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, plays a somewhat to very positive role; and 88.6% believe that Hamas’ armed wing, the Al-Kassam Brigades, plays a somewhat to very positive function.
Palestinians Hold Fundamentally Racist Views
When asked about U.S. and Western support for Israel against the terrorists, 91.5% agreed with the attitude that the support is the result of the “influence of the Israeli lobby;” 85.5% agreed that the support is the result of “hatred of Arabs;” and 79.5% agreed with the belief that the support is the result of “hatred of Muslims and Islam.”
Palestinians Reject the Hand that Feeds and Supports Them
As opposed to the perceived positive role played by the terror organizations, and notwithstanding the political and financial support the Palestinians receive from the U.S. and Western countries, 98.2% of Palestinians see the U.S. role as unfavorable, 96.7% consider the UK role as negative, and 92.6% ascertain the EU role as unfavorable.
Alongside the disdain for the U.S. and Western countries, the Palestinians also believe that moderate Arab countries also play a negative role. According to the Palestinians, the United Arab Emirates plays the most negative role (96šµ, followed by Saudi Arabia (95.5šµ, Egypt (84.6šµ and Jordan (75.6šµ. All these countries have made peace with Israel or consider the possibility.
The Palestinians Reject the Palestinian Authority and Fatah
While support for terror organizations is high, 87.3% of the Palestinians believe that the Palestinian Authority plays a negative role. Only 23.2% believe that Fatah plays a positive role. When asked who should govern the Gaza Strip and the areas in Judea and Samaria that are under the control of the PA, only 8.4% supported the PA. In comparison, 85.8% supported Hamas continuing to play a role in the Palestinian government – 13.6% supported a Hamas-only government, while 72.2% supported a “national unity” government – i.e., a government comprised of Fatah and Hamas.
Palestinian self-delusion
When asked who would emerge victorious from this war, 72.6% said “Palestine” would, while only 3.1% said Israel. 74.3% expect the war to end with a Palestinian victory that “achieves the liberation of Gaza from the Israeli invasion.”

Interesting video from Bill Maher on changing times over the centuries and how people coped.
Here is part of the video converted to text.
I know it's supposed to be that magical time of year, but maybe what we all really need right now is a good dose of realism. I see a lot of nativity scenes when I'm out, as you always do before Christmas, and I can't help thinking about where that manger really is. It's in the West Bank, on Palestinian lands, controlled by the Palestinian Authority. In 1950, the little town of Bethlehem was 86 % Christian. Now, it's overwhelmingly Muslim. And that's my point tonight. Things change. To 2 .3 billion Christians, there can be no more sacred site than where their savior was born, but they don't have it anymore. And yet, no crusader army has geared up to take it back.
Things change. Countries, boundaries, empires. Palestine was under the Ottoman Empire for 400 years, but today, an Ottoman is something you put under your feet.
The city of Byzantium became the city of Constantinople, became Istanbul. Not everybody liked it, but you can't keep arguing the call forever. The Irish had the entire island to themselves, but the British were starting an empire, and well, the Irish lost their tip. They blew each other up over it for 30 years, but eventually, everybody comes to an accommodation, except the Palestinians.
Was it unjust that even a single Arab family was forced to move upon the founding of the Jewish state? Yes, but it's also not rare, happening all through history, all over the world, and mostly what people do is make the best of it. After World War II, 12 million ethnic Germans got shoved out of Russia and Poland and Czechoslovakia because being German had become kind of unpopular. A million Greeks were shoved out of Turkey in 1923, a million Ghanaians out of Nigeria in 1983,
almost a million French out of Algeria in 1962. Nearly a million Syrian refugees moved to Germany eight years ago. Was that a perfect fit? And no one knows more about being pushed off land than the Jews, including being almost wholly kicked out of every Arab country they once lived in.
Yes, TikTok fans, ethnic. ethnic cleansing happened both ways. In Federer on the Roof, the family is always moving to stay one step ahead of the Cossacks, but they deal with it. When they're leaving Anatevka, they say, hey, it wasn't so great anyway. I don't mind, like other countries don't have rules.
@Rajk999
Federer on the roof? I guess he could whack a tennis ball that highš
One issue with Palestinians is they are considered trash by most of the Arab world, for instance, there is plenty of land in Jordan they could be given but the king of Jordan refuses to allow ANY of that. They could have ten times the land they presently have if King Abdulla would grant it and they would hardly notice any change because Jordan has a large land mass.
Countries like Iran don't mind putting weapons in the hands of Palestinians since they too want to destroy Israel as a country, so the situation is more complex than just Palestinians hating Jews.
@sonhouse saidYep, used one of those video to text converters. Guess it did not sound like Fiddler. Regarding the Palestinians they are considered trash because of their ingrained hatred for Jews, which they take with them wherever they go and it affects their ability to settle in and be good citizens in other countries.

@wildgrass saidYou are missing a few screws pal. Here is the situation.
The population of Palestine is over 5 million. The population of Hamas is 50k. By my count, that's 99% of Palestine are civilians.
You can't call someone who supports the installed or elected government of a country as an enemy combatant. They are civilians.
The elected government committed an act of terrorism on the citizens of another country, and the so-called civilians supported the act of terrorism.
Therefore for the purposes of this war, they are treated as terrorists.
@rajk999 saidNo, that’s not how anything works.

@rajk999 saidIt was elected about 16 yrs ago with the help of the Israeli terrorist state in order to sew and maintain division between Gaza and the West Bank. Hamas is an Israeli project which they forced on the people of Gaza and now they are committing genocide and other war crimes there in order to radicalise another generation and stall any move toward a two state solution

@kevcvs57 saidIf Israel was able to force Hamas on the people of Gaza, then all you doing is proving my point all along, which is that the people of Gaza, apart from being sick evil terrorists, are stupid as well.

You really are a vicious, horrible little incel, aren’t you.
@rajk999 saidYour "point" is accepting Osama Bin Laden's rationale for his murder of Western civilians i.e. that they are responsible for the actions of their governments.
If Israel was able to force Hamas on the people of Gaza, then all you doing is proving my point all along, which is that the people of Gaza, apart from being sick evil terrorists, are stupid as well.
Although you lack the capacity of self-awareness that it would require, such a rationale is just as applicable to Hamas' actions on October 7, 2023.
@shavixmir saidThink twice before killing and raping Jews . I hope they learn something from this.... but they are idiots and will do it again and the consequences might be more serious next time.
