[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] Most Palestinians want a new intifada, and a plurality want it to be violent

A new poll from the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion shows that there is widespread support for the current knifing and other violent attacks, and the majority of Palestinians want a third intifada.

50.4% of the Palestinian people support the outbreak of a third intifada, while 35.2% oppose it.

And if one breaks out, 42.1% are “in favor of a violent uprising”,  29.9% said they were ”in favor of a peaceful, non-violent, popular uprising”, , and only 27.8% said:”not in favor of either of them”.

A plurality also say that West Bank Arabs should carry weapons.

"The member of the politburo of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Dr. Mahmoud al-Zahhar, said in a statement that the opportunity of an outbreak of a third intifada is available, and that in a likely more violent manner than that of second intifada, stressing that the only solution for defending al-Aqsa is that the citizens of the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem should carry weapons. Do you support this statement or not?” 45.8% said:”Yes, I support it”, 29.7% said:”I oppose it”.
