31. psh psh BBC's poll
BBC WOW ,   WORLD   (09.19.11)
very meaningful ...knowing their history- everybody- who is an intelligent normal human being knows about bbc's tendencies Arab prone
32.  recognition
larry butler ,   kibbutz Israel   (09.19.11)
are you taking a pole of fools"? there aren't that many people in the world that know the real facts .and take it that 90% of the world is antisemetic .49% not bad
33. #11 Tell me
JP ,   USA   (09.19.11)
How is giving PA a state unilaterally going to stop terrorist attacks against Israel? If you think Hamas is going to give up power in Gaza and the PLO are going to shake hands because they received some land, then you really have no understanding of the Islamists movement.
34. #2 - 20,000 out of 7 Billion....not exactly a majority
William ,   Israel   (09.19.11)
and of those surveyed, the only ones who registered over 60% in favor were Arabs countries who many are still at war with Israel. The same reason "Palestinians" are still languishing in refugee camps are because of these same Arabs. Now - do these Westerners who were surveyed support a "Palestinian" State as a replacement to Israel? Definitely not, and they state it many times. That immediately kills Abbas' plan (and your's I imagine), and puts a big obstacle in place of the mythical "right of return". Now, if Israel were to pull the 1949 Armistice Agreement which forbids the use of 1967 lines as a basis for a border (language demanded by Arabs in 1949), that further negates the validity of the State. Admit it, most people surveyed are not aware of the agreements Arabs signed, and the legality surrounding this land. And that's in Israel's favor.
35. The Egyptians refused to take them in
Milton Shapp ,   Sun Valley Idaho   (09.19.11)
Nobody wants them and everybody is tired of hearing about them. Thats why they want them to have a state. Jordan threw them out . Egypt refused to take them ..Look back in history.
36. 49% Support terrorism and probably just hate jews
One   (09.19.11)
and for no damn reason, simply because they are easily brainwashed sheep.
37. THE BOOK OF BOOKS SAYS
Galutia ,   Selah   (09.19.11)
in the later times all nations would be arrayed against Israel...and that Jerusalem would be a cup of trembling for the nations there is no suprise in this poll ...G-d shared the same thing thu the prophets over 2500 years ago ... trouble is ...because people have tuned the torah out as being fairy tales Gods voice of the past has been silenced...fortunatly the book is backed up with good arcelology evidence should folk want to explore it...
38. palestinian state
sas ,   israel   (09.20.11)
let them have one - but then leave us alone. what will they do for electricity, water etc???palestinians living in east jerusalem do not want a state of their own. they have access to all the medical facilities in israel. go to our malls and see how they are dressed and how they shop. they enjoy all the lovely restaurants and cultural activitites that we have to offer.
39. They can create a new Palestinian state
Talula ,   Israel   (09.20.11)
if they like - I have no objections to that. But who is going to ensure that we live a quiet life without rockets and bus bombs and continual attempts at kidnapping - I didn't hear not ONE Arab/Palestinian say they will give up their quest to annihilate Israel if they have their own state. Very easy for the Israeli hating 49% to say yes - I wonder how many of them asked about our security. We will always be smarter and better armed than the Palestinians - but who wants to live in a constant war zone. I'm sure the situation would be different if the Palestinians abnegate terror and their claim to Israeli land.
40. Good News (please read comment)
paul ,   Jerusalem Israel   (09.20.11)
Well, the majority of people that listen to BBCs slanted media coverage are against another arab state. that must mean that the rest of world would be a huge majority that also would be against of the creation of such a state.
41. In the U.S. i trust Rasmussen Poll not BBC
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (09.20.11)
And according to Rasmussen it's the opposite of what BBC says about the U.S. Rasmussen poll has been right in in congressional and Presidential races in the U.S. time after time.Probably the most accurate poll in the U.S. go to the current events section and see what they polled about Israel /philistines.Many more U.S. citizens support Israel
42. BBC Poll
Mike Benchmuel ,   montreal,Canada   (09.20.11)
BBC=Al jazeera London office
43. the most disturbing result of this poll
Shlomo Glickstein ,   US   (09.21.11)
is the U.S. - 45% in favor, and 36% against the creation of Palestinian state. The U.S. cannot be trusted.
44. #43 Go to rasmussen Poll most accurate polling in the U.S.
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (09.21.11)
According to rasmussen in the U.S. it's completely the opposite.Rasmussen is the most accurate poll in The U.S. It's under the current events section of rasmussen
