1. "There has been a lot of talk lately about the formation of a new Palestinian State. It has been suggested by some that Israeli Arabs could continue to live in Israel, but change their citizenship to the new Palestinian State. Given the choice, and continuing to live where you presently live today, would you prefer to be a citizen of Israel or of a new Palestinian State?"
Remain Israeli citizens 62% Join a future Palestinian State 14%
No opinion or refused to answer 24%
The strongest support for remaining citizens of Israel was exhibited by members of the Druse community, 84% of whom would choose Israel. Lower income households also showed strong support with 71% of them choosing Israel. Men were more likely than women to choose to remain Israeli citizens (67% vs. 56%). The strongest support for becoming citizens of a future Palestinian State was among students with 21% as opposed to the average of 14%. The largest percentage of undecided citizens was among Christian Arab Israelis with 43% compared to the average of 24%.
2. Among Olmert, Barak or Netanyahu, who is more likely to make peace with the Palestinian Authority and Israel's neighbors.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Translation: Israeli Arabs prefer remaining in the 21st century rather than returning to the 6th.
But only 62% of them?................
High Volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel. or WOT [War on Terror]

But who would tend the olive trees and sweep the streets?
Add the remaining 24%.Simply they afraid to tell the truth.
All I can say is: “Find another one and do it again!!!”
The same poll in other Muslim countries in the region would probably have similar results.
Certainly that would be so among folks who can read.
“Deport the Muslim Arabs to Palestine. Better yet deport them to the Arab World. That would solve Israel’s demographic problem...”
When Palistinians want to do that to Jews it’s called ‘right of return’ (read: take over Israel and expell all Jews.) When Jews do that to violent Palistinians it’s called ‘ethnic cleansing’.
Mike Huckabee is quoted as saying that there should be a Palestinian state, but that it should be located in Saudi Arabia or Egypt.
There is a Palestinian state already - it’s called Jordan.
By creating a dual state in Israel, the United States is indeed encouraging a form of apartheid in the area. Jimmy Carter was right in calling it that.
The only place where orthodox Jews and Muslims live in peace is in the United States, where we don’t have separate Christian, Jewish, and Muslim governments.
When is the Bush administration (and Olmert) going to get a clue? A Palestinian state is a fantasy.
Actually, there is a Palestinian state already . . . the Gaza Strip, which is heavan on earth . ./sarc
Not sure why the Huckster thinks that, but any Palistinian state will rapidly devolve into a terrorist cesspool. Gaza is the template.
Gov. Huckabee expressed frustration with Israeli politicians who wanted to give away the Golan Heights and firmly opposed dividing Jerusalem.
When asked about a Palestinian state, Gov. Huckabee stated that he supports creating a Palestinian state, but believes that it should be formed outside of Israel. He named Egypt and Saudi Arabia as possible alternatives, noting that the Arabs have far more land than the Israelis and that it would only be fair for other Arab nations to give the Palestinians land for a state, rather than carving it out of the tiny Israeli state.
Gov. Huckabee, who has visited Israel nine times, also expressed support for moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and stressed the importance of making America energy independent in ten years for both environmental and national security reasons. “We just can’t continue to be dependent on Saudi oil,” explained Huckabee, “I want to be able to tell the Saudis that we need their oil about as much as we need their sand.”
There are a lot of them in the US in fact. My dentist is of Palestinian descent.
Lot of 'em came from Mount of Olives.
There is a Palestinian state already - it’s called Jordan.
Yes, he is right on a couple issues.... but Duncan Hunter is right on almost every single one and his record backs up his talk instead of contradicting it like most of the current candidates....
I honestly think that I have a better chance at being the GOP nominee than Duncan Hunter does. When is he going to face reality and drop out of the race??
How ‘bout we just ship them all off to Jordan and make them Jordanians?
