Cast Lead, sprachen die „Experten“ und allerlei um sich schlagende „Friedenstauben“ auf ihren „Friedensdemonstrationen“, werde nur die Hamas stärken und gerade nicht jene Araber„Palästinenser“, die mit der Existenz des zionistischen Gebildes sich abfinden könnten. Sie sollten wohl besser Horoskope sich ausdenken.
„A Palestinian poll conducted after Operation Cast Lead has found that 56 percent of residents in the Gaza Strip and 48.3% of Palestinians in the West Bank and east Jerusalem believe Hamas is leading them in the wrong direction.
The poll, conducted by the Beit Sahour-based Palestinian Center for Public Opinion and published last week, also found that the popularity of Fatah among Palestinians now exceeds the popularity of Hamas, in contrast to a November 2008 poll conducted well before Israel’s military operation.
Today, Hamas is supported by only 27.8% of the population in the Gaza Strip, compared to 51.5% in November, said Dr. Nabil Kukali, founder and general director of the PCPO.
Fatah’s popularity in the Hamas-controlled coastal territory lies at 42.5%, compared to 31.4% in November. [..]
The PCPO poll also found that 86.1% of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and 89.6% in the West Bank supported a Palestinian-Israeli truce.
The polling company conducted face-to-face interviews with a random sample of 673 Palestinian adults in Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem between January 25 and January 31, at least one week after a shaky cease-fire went into effect on January 18. It has a margin of error of 3.8%.“
