2. why dont they leave n go back to lebanon then
ken ,   california   (09.26.06)
3. But what about Abbas?
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (09.26.06)
Poll after poll comes out showing an overwhelming majority of Palestinians support terror against Israel. Yet, the song we keep hearing from Abbas and the West is that the Arabs seek peace, they want coexistence, they recognize Israel. Abbas, a moderate for tactical reasons only, is clearly the minority of the minority. Isn't it time Israel started acting towards the Palestinians like they are an enemy in our midst? If they don't want peace, Israel should give them what they want. Or is Israel scared to confront reality?
4. Imitate Hezbollah
Brod ,   USA   (09.26.06)
The Islamist-Jihadists want imitate Hezbollah. Israel in turn can cleanse its historic homeland of all Islamist-Jihadist terrorists. And then there will be peace and quiet in the region.
5. How sad for anyone to prefer War over Peace.
David ,   Boston, USA   (09.26.06)
Why dont Arabs in Gaza and Judea and Samaria want better future for their chidren? How sad and how deep the brainwashing runs.
6. ARMS & the UN's French responsability
MarlĂȘne ,   FRANCE   (09.26.06)
Let's not foget WHO's running the UN peacekeeping process in Lebanon: the pro-Arab -muslim French. If Hezbollah is able to smuggle huge quantities of rockets to the Palestinian side, are they doing it with French blessing and assistance? What's going on here?!
7. and the pope is catholic, so what? this is news?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (09.26.06)
is there some confusion here that both terrorist groups with the same aims, use of terror as primary means of fighting, and driven by the same religious jihad ideology would not be supportive of each other? could someone explain how this is news?
8. look who is the religon of piece(peace)

9. Pals Duplicating the glorious Hezbollah victory.
JPS ,   Efrat   (09.26.06)
No wonder we're in an interminable conflict. The Palestinians want to emulate Hezbollah. So that would mean: -1000 Palestinian dead -30,000 Israelis occupying Gaza again. -some minor damage to the Israeli economy and a couple of hundred Israeli casualties. But luckily no billions of dollars in damage to the Palestinian economy and infrastructure, cuz unlike the Lebanese who spent the last decade building their economy, the Pals simply don't have any billions to lose. Yep, perpetually condemned to never fail to miss the opportunity to miss an opportunity.
10. Will Israeli government face reality?
Sidney ,   USA   (09.26.06)
Despite all the wishful thinking, there is no Palestinian peace partner. This poll confirms that Palestinians voted for Hamas not because of Fatah corruption but because they want to destroy Israel. Moreover, the poll reveals the sad truth that a majority of Israeli Arabs are disloyal. It must be considered when dealing with them.
11. Who they support is irrelevant
67cj5 ,   USA   (09.26.06)
All Arabs including the so called Palestinians will be ruled by either Americans, Israelis, or Persians. So far they have chosen to be ruled by the Persians as they have Islam in common.................. Well, thinking about it further. In the end they and the Persians will either be ruled by America or Israel, if Persian is still suitable for human habitation.
12. 32% Israelis & Pal majority
ilana   (09.26.06)
Both groups are ignorant and hopeless. The 32% Israeli's who believe giving away Golan or any other portion of Israel will bring peace have no clue what they are dealing with. They are chained to the physical pleasures and have no potential to improve the State of Israel. Many are spiritually bankrupt. The majority of "pals" who aspire to be like Nazrallah, are pathetic creatures who have no reason to awaken in the morning save for the chance they may get to spray bullets into Jewish flesh. Both groups are indeed - lost.
13. Are these news new to anyone here?

14. palestinians
Steven ,   L.A. USA   (09.26.06)
I commend the palestinians for being honest. Finally the entire world can see what israel has had to put up with all of its existence. These people and the religion they adhere to know nothing except violence and war. They have the pitiful false pride of little children and like little children they lash out with nothing but emotion, all intelligent reasoning flying out the door. The Palestinians are finally waking up to what the rest of the world thinks of them. They are hated and despised by all. I wish that they had their own country, but only if Israel doesn't have to look at them or deal with them anymore. They are an ugly people in the truest sense of that word.
15. Why shouldn't they?
John ,   USA   (09.26.06)
The tone of the article seems to suggest that maybe they should be supporting Israel? What possible reason would they have to support Israel? Also, Hezbollah always supported the Palestinians. It's a no-brainer to assume Palestinians should support Hezbollah.
16. its so funny
LOL ,   Funny   (09.26.06)
they use our foundations (water, power supply, whatever) and they support hezbollah.. honestly, I dont get why there are still people who think palestinians "want peace".
17. Gaza easier than Lebanon to turn into rubble.
Isaac Haskiya ,   Roskilde - Denmark   (09.26.06)
18. SHEIKH NASRALLAH IS THE MOST POPULAR IN ALL ARABIC & ISLAMIC
Mahmoud ,   Egypt   (09.26.06)
COUNTRIES, because he proved that he is the only one that can defend the rights of Muslims & not as moubarak,kingS abdoullah & karzai etc....
19. And about half of Pals polled were boysand half were girls
Alan ,   SA   (09.26.06)
20. 18 Mahmoud-Dont worry, the Shia are coming to get Egypt

21. to #5 mr david
hanzalah naji ali ,   al shajara   (09.26.06)
Dear Mr David, Are You living in this world, first I wonder how old are you, do you know that before 1948 90% of this holy land was for Arab, 80% were muslim and 20% christian, do you know that a lot of arab killed and a lot were forced to imigrate or flee, and there cities and villages were distroyed, the same story after 1967, and about demography in israel, do you know that now 18% of citizens in israel is arab, less than 2% is arab christian, Although regardless of this Arab Specially the moderate which represent 90%b of arab world is even begging for peace, for a profe look to the news in Ynet today syria is accepting a full peace if israel returned occupied golan, and the poll show u most israelies which are going to the right every day is refusing, israel is not making peace inside itself, with her citizens the arab, treating them as a6th class , not equal, no jobs, spoiling and incouraging them by drugs, no good schools, if a police car stop them for sure they will get fine, how israel feel its strange that they will support hizballah, its a must and a result, Israel cant ignore that the demography will give arab 29% in 2025, and 54% in 2052, the bank of jews imgration is nearly bankrupted, after bringing more than a million from russia most of them is christian, no way israel can find peace with more wars, for its benifit they must accept the peace offers, and must work for inside peace, I think Rabin understand this issue as a military man, and he tried to do something for the best of israel, but the right wing knows how to kill him and how later they killed his adeas.
22. #2 Kin...why don't Israelis go back to Europe?
Noora ,   Bahrain   (09.27.06)
23. #21 Wishful thinking
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (09.27.06)
Most of the world would like peace. But giving the golan heights for peace, why not just have peace, why always conditions that the arabs go back on anyways, who's to say they won't go back on the golan heights, syria lost the heights anyways, they should keep it lost as compensation to Israel for Syria being so stupid. Always a condition, always something, give an inch, then you want another, then you want a mile. Soon all Israelis will be living in houseboats. The golan heights would also be a geographical advantage for Syria. I don't trust Assad, or you. Stop crying wolf.
24. terrorists
Walter Buckley ,   omaha usa   (09.27.06)
