A poll carried out in the Palestinian Authority shows 65% support for Al Qaeda terror attacks on the United States and European countries - the biggest donors to the PA.
The poll comes at a time when US and European funding of the Palestinian Authority is at an all-time high.
With elections due to be held next month and the Hamas terror group gaining significantly in municipal elections and polls, the survey further illustrates the desire of a majority of PA Arabs to establish an Islamic state, similar to Iran. A whopping 79.9% of Palestinians would like the PA to follow Shari'a - Islamic religious law. Included in the figure are 11.3% of the respondents, who would like to see Shari'a supplemented by the laws of a PA Legislature.
"What is striking is the willingness of Palestinians to turn against even the Western countries upon whom they are so totally dependent in order to progress," said Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) Director Itamar Marcus. "The poll underscores what PMW has been documenting for years - the profoundly negative impact hate education has had on PA society…Palestinians are not in direct conflict with the US, and certainly have counted on the Europeans as active allies. And yet an overwhelming majority desire to see Europeans and Americans killed by a religion-based terror organization."
The poll was conducted by FAFO - a Norwegian-based NGO not known for sympathy toward Israel or antipathy toward the PA. FAFO says it conducted the polling among the Palestinian population "in order to assess political feelings after Israel's voluntary withdrawal from Gaza in late-summer 2005." The poll results were reported in the PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida last Friday.
Last month (November 18th), in a sermon broadcast on PA-controlled television, Islamic leader Suleiman Satari offered the following prayer: "Destroy the Infidels and the Polytheists! Your [i.e. Allah's] enemies are the enemies of the religion…! Count them and kill them to the last one, and don't leave even one."
According to PMW, prayers to annihilate all “infidels” have been included in Friday prayers on PA TV at least six times in recent months. Two such sermons were delivered by Yusuf Jum'a Salamah, PA Minister of the Waqf Religious Authority - the most important religious office in the PA. Even though PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas was present on at least one of these occasions, similar prayers for genocide continued on the PA-owned and controlled TV in subsequent weeks.
Just weeks before the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001, Dr. Ikrime Sabri, the Mufti of Jerusalem and the highest-ranking Islamic figure in the Palestinian Authority said on PA radio: "O Allah, destroy America and its supporters and collaborators. O Allah, destroy Britain and its supporters and collaborators." Click here to view the clip.
The world is learning how to lie like an American for political advantage.
Now, wouldn't the logical conclusion be for us to stop funding them? Yet we're giving them even more money than ever.
someone point out to them that more than 75% of their funds come from US and Europe. would be a shame if we quit giving
And 100 % or the Democrats and mass media organizations applaud terror attacks upon the United States.
Where were the other 35%? Out planning violent attacks?
But who is really doing the giving? People living here and sending money back or the government taking our tax dollars and funding this evil?
Only a mad dog would bite the hand that feeds them.
That pretty much says it for Palestinians.
Beats me why we send them money so they can finance the destruction of Israel and then we send Israel money so they can fight the Palestinians. Its just plain crazy .
Especially when we have things we need to finance here.
I wonder how come we never see a poll of how many Americans approve of Israel kicking the crap out of Palestinians?

This answer is found in chart 2-22.
Because you have a very influential group of Americans that believe there is no greater evil than the interruption of their income stream, and you have a very numerous group of Americans that believe we should support good guys.
If the people of that area want sharia law, then they should have it. Any country should be able to rule themselves any way they choose. However, there are consequences to actions.
So, if you want sharia law and you want to kill the hand that feeds, don't expect that hand to feed anymore! Also, if you threaten and/or harm your neighbors, expect to be repaid for your violent deeds.
Death to the infidel? Who is the infidel; the one who wants to live and let live or the one who wants to kill anyone not like himself? Religion of peace; my a$$.
This is so simple.
US, Europe: Stop funding the PA!
Perhaps it's the military industrial complex President Eisenhower warned us about?
