Poll shows Gazans fear, distrust Hamas
2007-10-04
Most residents of the Gaza Strip are afraid to openly express their political views following Hamas' takeover of the area in June, according to a poll released Wednesday, the latest sign of public discontent with Gaza's Hamas rulers.
No! Afraid to reveal their most innermostest thoughts to a crazed band of homicidal thugs?
The poll found that a majority of Gazans oppose rocket attacks on Israel, favor a peace agreement with the Jewish state, and do not consider the Hamas authority in Gaza to be the legitimate Palestinian government. It also concluded that Hamas would lose elections if a new vote were held today.
But they aren't going to have a new vote today, are they.
The poll was conducted by Near East Consulting, a research firm based in the West Bank. The firm said it surveyed 470 Palestinians in Gaza by telephone on September 25-27. It did not give a margin of error.

Well here's and idea - stop firing rockets, get rid of Hamas, and sign an agreement. Do they dope the water with "stoopid" or something?

#4  Gaza has had it's chances and ignored them quite consistently. No sympathy for self-inflicted wounds.

Go ahead and die, just do it quietly please.

#3  consequences will be "catastrophic" unless Israel makes land concessions

Well Ahmad, we're Jews---we have a propensity for guilt feelings. We'll feel guilt over exterminating you for a thousand years---or, maybe, not.
