Poll: 54% of Palestinians support two-state solution

More than half of Palestinians support a two-state solution, according to a public opinion poll published on Monday.

The poll, conducted by the Arab World For Research & Development, covered 1,200 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It was conducted between October 20 and 22 and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

AWRAD describes itself as an independent research center that specializes in political and economic research and development through rigorous policy and applied research.

The poll showed that while a majority of Palestinians supports the present round of negotiations with Israel, a similar number of respondents (54 percent) believe the process will not yield positive results.

Too bad BDS-holes will have to boycott more than half of the Palestinian population that have turned out to be Zionist apologists for apartheid and ethnic cleansing.

The 54% of Palestinians for 2-states, the majority of Israel's Palestinian-Arabs who are in favor of a Jewish democratic state, women, gays, christians, blacks in Gaza, refugees suffering apartheid in Lebanon, Egypt, etc...

That's a helluva lot of Palestinians that BDS-holes won't support.

It's the majority of Palestinians, actually. In addition to the vast majority of Jews they boycott, they're neither pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian.

I'm just curious to know WHICH Palestinians they actually DO support.

9. BDS says it doesn't stop once the occupation ends. It goes on.

All the major anti-zio groups support BDS. The only groups outside anti-zionist ones that support boycotts only do so WRT settlement products. They don't support non-cooperation with Zionists or post-Zionists, they don't support 1-state, and they don't support full RoReturn.

support for BDS whether settlements products or all Israeli products will be diminished if and when the occupation ends

11. Hey, is she lumping people who boycott anything from the settlements in the BDS category?

eg. If someone doesn't believe in academic boycotts, and is torn on boycotting Israel in general, but stands firm that they will never purchase anything produced in a West Bank settlement that means they're a supporter of BDS who wants to destroy Israel, kick puppies to death, and commit genocide at the drop of a hat? I'd ask Shira but I've noticed that she doesn't do the answering questions thing.

as for what she means exactly really I'm not sure, it seems to be whatever she designates as BDS and as for questions and answers I don't have much luck either
