The clear majority of Palestinians polled - 60%, including 55% in the West Bank - say that their five year national goal should be "to work toward reclaiming all of historic Palestine from the river to the sea."
Yes, despite the insistence of biased "experts" who claim that Palestinian Arabs support a two-state solution and only want peace with Israel, the fact is that a convincing majority explicitly say that the real goal is to eliminate Israel altogether.
Only 27% said the goal should be to "end the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza to achieve a two-state solution," and 10% said "The goal should be to work for a one-state solution in all of the land: a state in which Arabs and Jews will have equal rights in one country, from the river to the sea."
What about the supposedly peaceful Palestinian Arabs who told other pollsters that they want a two-state solution? What exactly do they mean?
As in one previous survey, this poll confirms that the majority of Palestinians regard the "two state solution" as a Trojan horse, a mere stage in the ultimate goal to destroy Israel.
64% say that after a peace deal is signed with Israel, "resistance should continue until all of historic Palestine is liberated." And 65% say that the Palestinian Arab leadership agrees; that any negotiated solution "would be part of a 'program of stages,' to liberate all of historic Palestine later."
This is about as explicit as can be. The conventional wisdom that a majority of Palestinian Arabs want a permanent peace with Israel is a baseless myth. It is based on flawed surveys which do not list the alternative of an Arab-only state from the river to the sea.
The survey, released June 25, was all but ignored in the media. Besides Zionist media, I cannot find a single mention of the survey anywhere else. The reason is simple: the mainstream media and pundits are ideologically wedded to the two-state solution and this involves willful blindness towards the majority of Palestinians who see it, at best, as a stage in destroying Israel.
The same thing happened with a similar survey released in 2011, the first one to actually dig deeper into the answers that Palestinian Arabs give to pollsters. That one even went further to expose Palestinian Arab antipathy towards real peace, as I showed in this video:
The scandal isn't that Palestinian Arabs have these attitudes. Anyone with an open mind and research skills knows that already.
The scandal is the conspiracy of silence to suppress this information.
The scandal is the millions of dollars being spent to pressure Israel to accept a "peace" that would be anything but peaceful.
The scandal is that over 20 years after Oslo, there is no credible attempt on the part of the international community to encourage Palestinian Arab acceptance of Israel as a permanent neighbor.
The scandal is that as a result of the willful blindness - or malicious intent - of politicians and media "experts," the world has exactly the wrong impression as to who wants peace and who wants to destroy the other side.
That's why this survey was buried, while the polls that use flawed questions get coverage.
Burying the truth is the biggest scandal of all.
