New poll finds Palestinians deeply distrust their leaders |
2019-04-10 |
[Ynet] A new public opinion survey shows the overwhelming majority of Paleostinians in the West Bank and the Gazoo Strip are disillusioned with their leaders and desperate for presidential elections. The poll, conducted by the Jerusalem Media and Communication Center and released Tuesday, shows that only 11% of Paleostinians trust Fatah leader President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... and 6% trust rival Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, leader Ismael Haniyeh. Around 48% say they don't trust any political figure, and 87% are demanding elections. The survey, which has a margin of error of 3%, is based on the responses of 1,200 people. The Paleostinian leadership hasn't held elections since 2005 due to a bitter split between the West Bank's governing Fatah movement and Gazoo's Hamas rulers. Abbas' 14-year rule has been marked by corruption and deepening Paleostinian division. |

#2 Given their previous leadership's track record, how could they be legitimately disillusioned with the current losers? |

#1 Welcome to the world the rest of us live in. Grab something to eat and try not to attract attention. |
