Trump wins over Clinton by 5% in Israeli absentee-voter exit poll

 

The research poll has the number of actual voters from Israel at 30,000, which is significantly lower than Israel’s voter turnout in 2012, which analysts suggest is because of who the candidates are this time.

Palestinians prefer federation with Jordan over independence under their leaders

 

Poll conducted by A-Najar University in Nablus, found 46% surveyed said they preferred a confederation with neighboring Jordan (where a majority of the population is “Palestinian” Arab) in place of an independent Palestinian state.

By Aviel Schneider

 

Is an independent Palestinian state really all that important to the local Arab population? Well, not exactly, at least not according to a recent Palestinian opinion poll.

The touted two-state solution seems to be more in line with the interests of Western powers than it is for Israelis and Palestinian Arabs themselves.

Conducted by A-Najar University in Nablus, the aforementioned poll found that just 18% of Palestinians believe the two-state solution will actually resolve the conflict, and most respondents opposed the scheme altogether. Continue Reading »

95.5% of Palestinians polled view Mahmoud Abbas’ government as corrupt

Palestinians are becoming increasingly fed up with the PA leadership as billions & billions have been given to Abbas throughout the years, with the leaders, their families & close associates becoming millionaires, as unemployment grows & their economy stagnates.

A gated community of villas with well-tended flower gardens near Ramallah may help explain why Palestinians almost universally believe there is corruption in the government of President Mahmoud Abbas.

The secluded “Diplomatic Compound,” built for senior Palestinian Authority officials on subsidized land, is one of the symbols of what many Palestinians think is wrong with their leaders – that they are cut off from the people and award themselves special privileges. Continue Reading »

Bamboozled: 75% of British Jews believe settlements are ‘major’ obstacle to peace

 

New survey conducted by a British pro-peace group ‘Yachad’ finds 24% of British Jews willing to ‘support sanctions against Israel’ if they thought it would push Israel’s gov’t towards making peace with the Palestinians.

Ynetnews

 

A new report, released Thursday by a “pro-Israel, pro-peace” organization in the UK, has revealed British Jews’ nuanced approach to Israel, with a large majority considering themselves pro-Israel at the same time as being critical of the government’s actions – particularly with regard to settlements.

NYT - It's about hatred of Jews, pure and simple.
