Palestinian Arab society is harvesting the fruits of the violence it has agreed to live with for decades.

A new poll shows that 80 percent of these Arabs who live in areas under control of the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority fear for their personal safety.

Seventy-six percent believe their security situation is worse under Hamas than it was when the PLO's Fatah faction held a majority in the PA.

Hamas was handed control of the PA by the "Palestinian" electorate a year ago, in general elections international monitors vouched had been "free and fair."
