Gateway Pundit has this story about some of the feelings embedded in the “Palestinian” cause.

73% of Palestinians Believe Jews Should Be Killed Wherever They Hide

In May Barack Obama urged Israel to hand over half of Jerusalem, the Wailing Wall, The Temple Mount, Old Jerusalem, and the tomb of Jesus Christ to the Hamas-Fatah terrorist alliance.

Obama thought this would bring peace.

He was dead wrong.
73% of Palestinians believe Jews should be killed wherever they hide.
The Jerusalem Post reported, via The Blaze:

73% of 1,010 Palestinians in W. Bank, Gaza agree with ‘hadith’ quoted in Hamas Charter about the need to kill Jews hiding behind stones, trees.

Only one in three Palestinians (34 percent) accepts two states for two peoples as the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to an intensive, face-to-face survey in Arabic of 1,010 Palestinian adults in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip completed this week by American pollster Stanley Greenberg.

I feel bad for the other 1/4 – 1/3 that truly want peace and to live normal lives. A whole generation that has seen Jihad cartoon type characters is growing up:

We see some of the effects on this new generation, as Jihad Watch points out:

Poll: Palestinian children favor discriminating against women and minorities
Here is the report from Palestinian Media Watch, with thanks to Alyssa Lappen:

A poll of Palestinian high school students’ attitudes towards women and minorities has revealed “alarming” opinions, according to the Palestinian daily Al-Ayyam.The poll revealed a strong rejection of equality for women in society, with as many as 73 per cent of the students feeling that women should be limited to “traditional occupations.”Opinions regarding political involvement are also problematic. A full 52 per cent reject a woman’s right to “have position on a Municipal Local Council,” while 23 per cent would deny women the right to vote in elections.Limiting women’s freedom is likewise seen as acceptable by significant numbers of children. A third of Palestinian children surveyed believe that hitting a woman is “permissible under specified circumstances,” and 23 per cent reject a woman’s right to chose a husband “freely.”Attitudes to minorities are also discriminatory. Sixty per cent of the students polled are unwilling to have a friend from a different religion, while 24 per cent do not want a friend with a different skin color.The poll was conducted by the ALPHA Institute for Research and Statistics, and was distributed by the Center for Women’s Affairs in Gaza.

The following are the results of the poll: [Al-Ayyam, Feb. 19, 2004]

Palestinian Children’s attitudes to women and minorities:

Limiting Women’s Occupations:
“73% [Grades 9 and 12] agree to limit women’s work to traditional occupations.”
“16% [Grade 12] support women’s right to work as taxi drivers.”

Limiting Women’s Freedom
“33% [Grade 12] believe that hitting a woman is permissible under specified circumstances.”
“23% [Grade 9] do not accept a woman has the right to chose a life companion freely.”
“32% [Grade 9] do not accept a woman’s right to chose her own clothes.”

Limiting Women’s Political Involvement:
“52% [Grade 9] do not accept that women can have positions on a Municipal Local Council.”
“37% [Grade 9] do not accept women’s right to vote in elections.”

Children’s attitudes to different races, religion, sex and handicapped
“60% [Grade 12] expressed unwillingness to choose a friend who is not of their religion.”
“24% [Grade 12] do not welcome the idea of friendship with others, who have a different skin color.”
“51% [Grade 12] are not willing to choose a friend who is not of their sex.”
“9% [Grade 12] do not welcome the idea of friendship with people from other countries.”
“No more than 60% [Grade 9 and 12] favor handicapped rights in the areas of occupation, education, and presenting candidacy for elections.”

It is amazing to me the left/Democrats choose to align themselves with such a cause. In another poll — also at Jihad Watch — you see the percentages that support extremism, which is another reason that baffles the normative belief that people who call themselves “liberals” would support such causes:

Where are the “moderate Palestinians”? New poll shows 55% support suicide bombings
“New Poll: Palestinians Support Suicide Bombings By 55% To 37%,” from the ZOA, February 6:

A new poll has shown that Palestinians support continued suicide bombings against Israel by 55.4 percent as compared to 37.6 percent who oppose it. The poll, conducted by Jerusalem Media and Communications Center, also found:

✦ That 50.8 percent of Palestinian believe that rocket attacks upon Israel from Gaza help Palestinians achieve their goals, as against 20.8 percent who believe such attacks harm the attainment of Palestinian goals;

✦ If elections were held today, 28.6 percent of Palestinians would vote for Hamas and 27.9 percent of Palestinians would vote for Fateh;

✦ Similarly, 27.7 percent of Palestinians most trust Hamas while 26 percent most trust Fateh. (Jerusalem Media & Communications Center, Poll No. 67, January 2009).

ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said, “It is often said that Palestinians no longer embrace a program for eliminating Israel, but merely wish to live in their own independent state within the territories Israel captured in 1967. As a result, many conclude that Israel has an obligation to negotiate a peaceful outcome with Palestinians. However, this poll and others show that the majority of Palestinians continue to support unreconstructed terror movements that do not accept Israel’s existence as well as further suicide bombings and rocket attacks upon Israel. This demonstrates that that Palestinians do continue to embrace Israel’s elimination.

“One seemingly contradictory finding in the poll showed that 54.8 percent of Palestinians favored setting up a Palestinian state alongside Israel, as opposed to 18.4 percent who openly sought a single, bi-national state. However, there is a November 2007 poll which shows something similar (67.1 percent of Palestinians supported ‘the creation of a Palestinian state on the 1967 occupied territories’) but which also went on to ask the pertinent question – ‘Do you support or reject the creation of two states on the historic land of Palestine (a Palestinian state and Israel)?’ – which most Palestinians (54.3 percent) rejected.

“In short, as we pointed out at the time, most Palestinians do not accept Israel’s existence as a Jewish state even if they support the idea of establishing a Palestinian state alongside it for now. They simply regard a Palestinian state as a useful step towards one day removing Israel from the region….
