CNN reporting on some interesting survey results from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah. Seven hundred and fifty adults were interviewed face to face in the West Bank, and 481 were interviewed in Gaza, also in person. The Gaza data collection was done during the recent truce, when it was safer for researchers to move about.

    Yea sure, just strawman me.

    If you look at how the west bank is treated vs Gaza you’d see that Israel is willing to give peaceful people autonomy.

    And I agree Israel is fucking abhorant for the illegal settlements, and they should be punished for it, there is no excuse for them.

      The settlers, armed and protected by Isreal, run counter to your claim that Isreal is willing to make peace. The reality is that Isreal wants the land and they’re going to take one way or another. With violence from peaceful people or with violence from people fighting against them taking their land.

          Who said that all they wanted was the land?

          And if you think that the Sinai Peninsula was in any way peaceful, you’re missing a lot. It gives the impression that you don’t know what you’re talking about and are only using bullet points that someone else came up with. If not, go ahead and look into it and there you will find the answer.

          Irrational deflections aside, Israel is taking land from peaceful people as well as people fighting back. If you were to disregard the excuses given by Israel and look at what has been going on for 80 years, you might see that their actions speak louder than their words. At about 10 times louder and getting even louder.
