Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Two-thirds of “Palestinians” favor stabbings of Israeli civilians

Dec 20, 2015 12:16 pm By Robert Spencer

It’s just a few extremists, remember. It’s just a tiny minority. Every religion has its extremists, you racist, bigoted Islamophobe. Two-thirds of “Palestinian” Muslims favor stabbing Israeli civilians, but remember: the Crusades!

Stab2

“2/3 of Palestinians in favor of stabbings,” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, December 20, 2015:

Following almost three months of Palestinian riots, violence and deadly terror attacks against Israelis, 2/3 (67%) of Palestinians are in favor of stabbing attacks against Israelis and almost the same amount are in favor of “an armed intifada.”

Although most Palestinians support “the use of knives,” almost half (47%) of Palestinians believe the PA’s libel that Israel fabricates the stabbing attacks  and that “those who were shot have not stabbed or were not attempting to stab Israelis.” However, 51% do believe that “most… have in fact stabbed or were attempting to stab Israelis.”

These opinions were revealed in a recent poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip between Dec. 10-12, 2015 (see below). Summing up the results, PSR remarked that “the ‘Oslo generation’ of youth between the ages of 18 and 22 are the most supportive of an armed intifada and stabbings and the least supportive of the two-state solution.”

This poll confirms Palestinian Media Watch‘s findings that the PA is not educating Palestinians to peace, but is entrenching hatred and terror, and shows that the PA’s constant terror glorification, promotion of violence and libels against Israel successfully reverberate among Palestinians.

The poll found that almost 2/3 (60%) are in favor of an “armed intifada” and more than 1/3 (37%) of Palestinians believe that “the current confrontations” will develop into such. Two thirds (66%) believe that a “new armed intifada” “would serve Palestinian national interests in ways that negotiations could not.”

Other aspects of the poll also reflect that Palestinians believe PA libels, especially the false claim that Israel seeks to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque  – the allegation used by the PA to spark the current wave of violence as well as previous waves of terror attacks:

“An overwhelming majority believes that al Haram al Sharif is in grave danger: 51% believe that Israel intends to destroy al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock and replace them with a Jewish temple; 17% believe that it intends to divide the plateau on which the two mosques sit so that Jews would have a synagogue alongside the Muslim holy places; and 9% believe that Israel intends to change the status quo prevailing in the plateau since 1967 by allowing Jews to pray there. Only 11% believe that Israel is interested in maintaining the status quo without change.”

    Karen Armstrong would be first to say “Every religion has its extremists”
    NPR would cite as proof that Islam is peaceful because one third of Palestinian Muslims do not favor stabbing attacks against Israelis.

    The problem in the “occupied territories” is Muslim invaders are still (occupying) ancient Jewish lands.

    This pretty clearly shows how backward, ignorant and barbaric “most palestinians” still are. The thuggish mobs that pass for their governments exist only to keep the dead-heads enraged and inflamed in a murderous frenzy so that they can stay in power and keep stealing the aid money that flows in from liberal, progressive westerners.

    Let’s see: 67% of “palestinians” support stabbing Jews but 47% of “palestinians” believe that the reports of “palestinians” stabbing Israelis are fabrications. See, that explains a lot of what’s going on there – there’s no way a person can hold those two beliefs simultaneously without suffering mental trauma.

    For the benefit of anyone new to this site and this subject who might possibly be confused by the sand-throwing of the lrealog above, who wants us not to see that the Muslim Arab attacks on Jews in Israel, and on the Jewish state of Israel, are not part of the global Jihad that the Muslims have been waging upon all non-Muslims – off and on, as opportunity offered – for the past 1400 years, on three continents, here is a classic article, “Why Islam Will Not Accept the State of Israel”.

    Why Islam Will Never Accept the State of Israel

    By Steven Simpson, THE AMERICAN THINKER June 30 2010

    Muslim Jew-hatred, and Muslim murderous attacks on Jews, not only within historic land of israel, but also in many, many other places where Jews lived as defenceless minorities in diaspora, pre-dates the existence of the modern state of Israel by, oh, about 1200 years. It goes all the way back to the beginning of Islam. It is why many of the Jews targeted by Muslim Arab stabbers in Israel are haredi…they are not just targeting Zionists, secular/ national Jews, they are targeting *Jews*. Or why else would Muslim murderers with guns and axes go into the Har Nof synagogue and attack *Jews while the Jews were praying*, or attack unarmed students in a yeshiva? The Jews are targeted qua Jews… Jews being a specially-hated subset of Kuffar.

    Islam does not recognise the right to life, liberty, or property of *any* non-Muslim person *anywhere* on planet earth.

    The end-game, for Muslims, is a global sharia despotism, a Caliphate. For non-Muslims, no matter *where* they are, the options are…conversion, subjugation as a Dhimmi untermensch, or…death.

    So when lrealog attacks the forebears of today’s Jews for their conquest of the *minute* patch of dirt that constitutes the land of Canaan, or land of Israel, he is ignoring the fact that that conquest was, shall we say, severely limited in extent. The boundaries beyond which Israel was NOT to go were quite strictly defined.

    There is a very great difference between a tiny people-group establishing itself in one tiny corner of the earth (and indeed, recognising clear limits to what was and was not sought – there were lands bordering on Israel that were quite explicitly to be left alone), and an ideologically-defined gestalt, the Ummah or Mohammedan Mob, setting out to rob, rape, lie and mass-murder its way to nothing less than Total World Domination.

      Small correction.

      Typo in the above.

      The opening of my posting above ought to read as follows:
      “For the benefit of anyone new to this site and this subject who might possibly be confused by the sand-throwing of the poster calling himself ‘lrealog’ above, who wants us not to see that the Muslim Arab attacks on Jews in Israel, and on the Jewish state of Israel, are an integral part of the global Jihad that the Muslims have been waging upon all non-Muslims…”.

      dda, ‘Irealog’ is the exact same bullshitter stardusty psyche, who was banned a few months ago for flagrantly lying about one of Robert’s posts.

      His new persona has exactly the same agenda as the old, and exactly the same old, tired arguments, which commenters previously shot down in flames. As you say, a sand thrower. Engaging *him* is a big fat waste of time, but replies such as yours are very educational for lurkers, et al, because you show very clearly what claptrap he spews.

    …total savages. Their solution is not negotiation (civilized), but murder (barbarians). They are not suited to living in any country.

    For years I bought the fallacy that the Jews had taken the homes and lands of the “Palestinians.” But I gradually learned the truth of the matter and the proclivities of the Muslims to kill every non-Muslim. I am now firmly on the side of Israel. While I do not believe that a God gave real estate to a certain group of people, I believe that the Jews retook their homeland. It is there, they own it, and they, through courage and tenatiousness, will never give it up. Most Arabs, being nomads, can move somewhere else.
