86% des Palestiniens approuvent le recours à la violence contre Israël

Inutile de chercher dans la presse francophone les résultats de ce sondage désolant, publié le 28 août, juste avant le début des nouvelles négociations de paix entre Israéliens et Palestiniens.  Elle révèle, hélas, que pour les Palestiniens la violence contre Israël c'est du "business as usual" ...

• Pour 91% des Palestiniens la Palestine historique (foyer national palestinien) du Jourdain à la mer est essentielle ou souhaitable.

• Pour 94% des Palestiniens Jérusalem (les parties est et ouest) doit faire partie de la Palestine.

• 86% des Palestiniens sont favorables au recours à la violence pour la création d'un État (le recours à la violence est essentiel pour 36.7% des sondés; désirable pour 18.7%; acceptable pour 16.8%; tolérable pour 14.0%; inacceptable pour 13.7%).  Donc à peine 13.7% sont opposés à la violence.

The results of the latest poll of Palestinian views on the Middle East Peace Process, just prior to the upcoming peace talks in Washington, indicate attitudes that are, to put it mildly, alarming. While these results seem to strongly contradict the conventional wisdom of the “Peace Process” narrative, don’t expect to see the disturbing political implications of this study reflected in the reporting by the mainstream media.


Here are the results from three of the more important questions posed by the pollsters, which was conducted by the Arab World for Research & Development (AWRAD):
