Ninety-two percent of Palestinians suffer from depression-related anxiety, caused by despair over violence between Hamas and Fatah gunmen and the apparent demise of the Palestinian unity government, according to a poll published by the Washington Times on Monday morning.
Jamil Rabah, the director of Ramallah-based Near East Consulting, polled 801 Palestinians from the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem for the latest survey, which has a margin of error of 3.4 percent.
The poll was taken last month, following a deadly flare-up between Hamas and Fatah gunmen that left dozens dead in Gaza and laid bare a dysfunctional unity government. The unrest cuts across region, political affiliation and social class, according to the poll findings.
"The higher the level of depression, or discontent, the higher this score comes out, the higher the social fragmentation of society," Rabah told the Washington Times.
The data constitute a jump of 15 percent compared with a poll conducted in October and more than double the level from November 2005.
"We've never (before) been a society where we've had any type of significant internal struggles," said Cairo Arafat, a psychologist and an official in the Palestinian Planning Ministry.
"Internal violence with the continuing levels of poverty and unemployment was a significant marker for many people that the situation was deteriorating further."
"There's a high level of frustration. It's getting dangerous. There isn't any value to life," said Ibrahim Habib, field-work coordinator for the Israeli chapter of Physicians for Human Rights. "A lot of people feel the (Palestinian) Authority is irrelevant."
The survey also revealed that although Palestinians realize the current Hamas-Fatah government is a failure, there's little confidence that a new election will produce a more stable result.
I was depressed living in Southern CA.
Now I’m a happy camper living Northern CA.
Wow, sounds like potential Democrat voters. Anyway that Dingy Harry can get them to the US in time for the 2008 elections?
I have a box of razor blades I’ll donate to them if they want to end their misery.
Arab values are depressing.
They should do what EVERY FREE PEOPLE have had to do... pick up their GUNS and KILL their oppressive leaders and form a TRUE government. Whining about it and being “depressed” is for mindless slaves.... DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !!!!
Being depressed tends to happen in death cults.
only 92%???
That remaining percentile either relocated to the civilized world and total reject all aspects of the death cult, or are dead as a jihadist on a hot day, wearing a heavy, long over coat - crossing into Israel.
Be careful who you vote for, . . . .
AMEN partner!!!!!
These are Pali women.....now you know why.
I’m not. I vote, I’m active for problems, and I’m well armed.
Taught from birth to hate Jews and to vow to eliminate Israel, living in a country that spends all its resources on killing Jews and fighting with other countrymen, taught that the only way to happiness is to blow oneself up along with Jews.
No wonder they are depressed!
They have been offered a chance to become civilized, time after time, until Cyndi Lauper broke into tears, but those non people; the “Palestinians”, who have no actual past before 1964, obviously no present, and because of their nature, certainly no future, simply do not realize it.
Envy, hate and trust in a violent cult has cemented them firmly in place until their self extinction is complete. Shed no tears for them. Remnants of their tribe will survive but conceal their origins, Palestinian having become synonymous with terrorist, murderer or raging hater. Good riddance.
Pallies choosing the curses rather than the blessings...
They love the violence committed by their “freedom fighters” against American Service men and women. They just object to it strongly (on absolute moral grounds ofcourse) when it is against their terrorist buddies.
I wonder if the writer of this article has ever pondered the effect that the Pals constant mayhem inflicts on the mental wellbeing of the Israelis or the Lebanese?

It’s an empowerment thing. Send Tony Robbins over for a firewalk.
Leaders who are terrorists and corrupt....a culture which encourages them to blow themselves up.....depression must be a result of the Jews</sarc>
