Arabs: It's necessary to blow up Jews



By Ryan Jones

A large majority of Palestinian Arabs believe destroying Jewish life in acts of ?suicide? terrorism is a necessary and legitimate means of achieving their nationalistic goals.

According to a poll conducted earlier this month by the Fafo Institute for Applied International Studies, 61 percent of ?Palestinians? agree that ?suicide bombings against Israeli civilians are necessary to get Israel to make political concessions.?

A 67 percent majority of Gazan Arabs, however, would like to see attacks originating from their area decrease for fear of a threatened Israeli military response.

An overwhelming 84 percent majority of ?Palestinians? see Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and northern Samaria as a victory for the past five years of concerted terrorist efforts.

Most also feel that the chief proponent behind Gaza-based anti-Jewish violence, the Hamas terrorist organization, should be given a prominent role in the Palestinian Authority.
