One-Third of PA Arabs Thinking about Emigrating
By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu, INN
A new survey reveals that 31 percent of Arabs in the PA think about living permanently in another country, and a jailed terrorist and the Hamas leader are the favorites to be PA president.
The large number of those contemplating emigration is reflected by concern for security, revealed in the newly released Palestinian Center for Public Opinion poll by Dr. Nabil Kukali. Almost two-thirds of the people (64.8 percent) are worried about their personal safety.
Dissatisfaction with the current PA administration was registered with 61.5 percent of the respondents favoring a new cabinet, currently headed by Ahmed Qureia (Abu Ala), who serves as president of the PA. The most popular person to replace him is Marwan Barghouti, who is serving multiple terms of life imprisonment for terrorist attacks
He was commander of the Fatah and Tanzim terrorist gangs when arrested in April 2002, and Barghouti was convicted two years later on five counts of murder, one of the victims being a Greek Orthodox monk.
The second most popular candidate is the leader of the Hamas terrorist movement, Mahmoud al-Zahar. Qureia trailed the list with support of only 5.4 percent.
The PA legislative council recently passed a no-confidence vote, which technically forced Abbas to appoint a new president, but no action has been taken.
The PA has scheduled elections in January for its legislative assembly. It postponed them this past summer following fears that the Hamas terrorist organization would win more than one-third of the seats.
Dr. Kukali said his latest poll shows that 25.6 percent of the participants support Hamas and that 37.6 percent back Abbas' Fatah party. Support for the Islamic Jihad terrorist group jumped from three percent in June to 5.2 percent. The changes in numbers for Fatah and Hamas were marginal.
He also reported that an overwhelming majority (81.4 percent) wants an end to the anarchy and violence that has plagued the PA, but a similar majority also supports getting rid of the heads of all security departments.
The survey included men and women over the age of 18 from villages and cities and was conducted between in mid-October, according to Dr. Kukali.

Palestinians prefer a terrorist for a leader 'cause they only love their own! King hussein of jordan forced them out of the kingdom with his army after their militancy/overthrow intentions became known. Has anyone ever wondered why, with so much money in the arab world, there is not a single arab nation willing to welcome them in or to provide finance for an infastructure to expedite their own economy/agriculture/industry etc. No of course not! their "brother arabs" would rather send rocks and ammunition/explosives/weaponry to encourage/support the vicarious murder of yet more Isrealis. The guilt for this tribalistic (bedu style)behaviour is not the palestinans alone. The entire muslim world is accountable and we should not misss any opportunity to proclaim that fact & clearly speak up and object to so- called "clerics", preaching jihad (i.e. murder). "moderate" muslims who display anything from open joy to a deafening silence in the aftermath of terrorist atrocities. We should proclaim our feelings and intent to destroy the evil cult of islam with conviction, resolve and the sure knowledge that we act for the benefit of all mankind. Let the palestinians all migrate to the rub al khali desert in saudi arabia. Such harsh terrain/condition would never prevent the Jews from converting it into a garden of plenty in double quick time. Why can't they?
