#1 life is hard. But life is harder when you are stupid.

#2 interesting how the issue of the morality of indiscriminate mass murder of Jewish men, women and children by Islamic homicide bombers never came up.

that's the fundamental problem, and why cordoning them off and killing their "leaders" is the only option.

#3 I'll say this much, it doesn't matter whether the percentage that is for killing Jewish men, women, and children by suicide/murder bombs keeps dropping steadily - the damage has been done, and nothing short of the death of the current generation and a new way of thinking will be required before things can change. Even the death of Arafart won't be enough.

#4 Guess it's progress, of a sort.

#5 BaR, are you thinking of something like the Children of Israel wandering in the desert for 40 years, so that none who entered the land would have been born a slave?

#7 43% to 42%? What's the margin of error in this poll, 42% or 43%?

#8 ..are you thinking of something like the Children of Israel wandering in the desert for 40 years, so that none who entered the land would have been born a slave?

Something along that line. The kill-all-the-Jews-by-whatever-means-necessary mentality has got to go.

#9 Actually, the population has been divided for some time, although the tilt to one side or the other does change. Part of the population wants the fun of an all-out terror war; the other part wants to crowd out the Jews by out-breeding them. Arafat pushes both options...sort a dual track war.

Given the improved life expectancy given by Israel resulting from improved health and sanitation, and the significantly improved child survival rate, the Palestinians -- up until the Intifada -- were enjoying something like 7 kids per family vs. the Israeli 2 kids (or thereabout). On the order of 1/2 million Arab refugees left in 1948. Now the Palestinians number themselves at several million.
