#1 The much-vaunted 'Arab Street' speaks! (yawn).


"The organizers of the survey explained that the Hamas movement and the Islamic Jihad organization stand for the establishment of a Palestinian state on the land of historic Palestine, a concept that the PLO gave up on when the Oslo discussions began."


Two things wrong about this;
1) Historic Palestine is where Israel is.
2) The PLO never gave up the concept, they just said they did.

#3 A survey of the Arab world organized by the Al-Arabia network website after the death of Yasser Arafat, showed 73.72% want a Hamas representative to replace Arafat

I wonder if the Palestinians will ever finally get the concealed message. So far, the Arab world's inability unwillingness to resettle the Palestinians, and thereby solve the Israeli conflict, has meant only one thing. Namely, the death of even more Palestinians playing the role of so much loudly-lamented cannon fodder, as they are cheerfully flung into Israel's remorseless meat grinder while the Arab world happily looks on.

All Palestinians should carefully reconsider the significance of how the outside Arab world wants them to continue in this self-destructive capacity. While they wear the outer trappings of an organization more benign than the PLO, Hamas will only succeed in leading even more Palestinians, lemming-like, over the precipice of further terrorist activity.

That the Arab street has nominated Hamas as Arafat's heir apparent should serve as a crystal clear indicator of how little the Palestinians' putative Muslim brethern care for their well-being. While Israel may be the nail so often struck at by the Arab world, the Palestinians occupy the hammer's face. It is their bodies that are mangled with each ineffectual blow delivered against the case-hardened nailhead of Israel's intransigent persistence.

Palestinians are the Arab world's collective whipping boy, meant only to absorb Islam's fury at itself for not being able to exterminate the Jews. Only peace will bring prosperity to the Palestinians, something the Arab world will never admit nor bring to light.

#4 Boy, statistics down to 1/100 of a percent. Now there is a confidence level! LOL! Survey uncertainly down to less than one part in 10,000. How do they do that?
