A Comprehensive Poll on “Disengagement”

1.  The poll was conducted by the “Geocartography Group,” while Israel‘s government and the entire media were engaged in an intensive campaign for “Disengagement” and while the opponents to “Disengagement” were dormant (following their victory in the Likud Referendum).

 

2.  The results of the poll are dramatically more politically-INcorrect than those, which preceded the Likud Referendum, and at variance with other current polls, which are not as comprehensive. Precedents – in Israel – indicate that the majority of the “undecided” tend to support the politically-INcorrect option, but are reluctant to admit it to pollsters.

 

3.  To realize the potential impact of the coming educational campaign,  (which made the difference during the Likud Referendum), one should note that the May 2, 2004 Likud Referendum was announced when the proponents held a 30% edge.  The one month long educational campaign, which followed, produced a 50% net shift (hence, a 20% edge) for the opponents. 

 

4.  51%:32% believe that the evacuation of the Gaza Jewish communities would escalate/diminish Palestinian motivation to fight Israel.  8% assume that it would have no effect and 9% have no opinion.  One may conclude that 59% (51%+8%) do not believe that disengagement would improve the situation, and therefore would be reluctant to pay the price of the disengagement (exacerbated terror, intra-Israel strife, multi-billion dollar cost).

 

5.  55%:25% believe that the evacuation of the  Gaza Jewish communities would magnify/diminish the threat of missiles to Ashqelon, Ashdod and the Negev. 9% assume that it would have no effect and 11% have no opinion.  One may conclude that 64% (55%+9%) do not believe that disengagement would improve the situation, and therefore would be reluctant to pay the price of the disengagement (exacerbated terror, intra-Israel strife, multi-billion dollar cost).

 

6.  61%:15% believe that the evacuation of the Gaza Jewish communities would accelerate/slow down the flow of military supplies to Gaza.  10% assume that it would have no effect and 14% have no opinion.  One may conclude that 71% (61%+10%) do not believe that disengagement would improve the situation, and therefore would be reluctant to pay the price of the disengagement (exacerbated terror, intra-Israel strife, multi-billion dollar cost).

 

7.  37%:37% believe that the evacuation of the Gaza Jewish communities would increase/decrease terrorism; 13% assume that it would have no effect and 13% have no opinion. One may conclude that 50% (37%+13%) do not believe that disengagement would improve the situation, and therefore would be reluctant to pay the price of the disengagement (exacerbated terror, intra-Israel strife, multi-billion dollar cost).

 

8. 36%:35% believe that the evacuation of the Gaza Jewish communities would advance/regress peace with the Palestinians.  18% assume that it would have no effect and 11% have no opinion. One may conclude that 54% (36%+18%) do not believe that disengagement would improve the situation, and therefore would be reluctant to pay the price of the disengagement (exacerbated terror, intra-Israel strife, multi-billion dollar cost). 

 

9. 71%:15% believe that the introduction of Egyptian military personnel into Gaza would restrain/free Israel‘s counter-terrorism effort. 7% assume that it would have no effect and 6% have no opinion. One may conclude that 78% (71%+7%) do not believe that disengagement would improve the situation, and therefore would be reluctant to pay the price of the disengagement (exacerbated terror, intra-Israel strife, multi-billion dollar cost).

 

10. 72%:16% believe that the introduction of Egyptian military personnel into Gaza would require/preclude Israel‘s counter-terrorism operations in Gaza.  12% have no opinion.

 

11. 48%:39% believe that the introduction of Egyptian military personnel into Gaza would undermine/enhance Israel‘s security.  13% have no opinion.

 

12. 49%:44% support the evacuation of Jewish communities from Gaza and northern Samaria.  7% have no opinion.  Factoring the tendency by the “undecided” to oppose the politically-correct position, one assumes a tie (while the government and the media are engaged in an aggressive campaign on behalf of disengagement, and the politically-INcorrect is still dormant).

The Phantom of the Palestinian Refugees Exposed

*General Alexander Galloway, UNRWA Jordan Office Director (April 1952 briefing to the American Christian Palestine Committee):The Arab states do not want to solve the refugee problem. They want to keep it as an open sore, as an affront to the UN and as a weapon against Israel. Arab leaders don’t give a damn whether the refugees live or die.” (Asaf Romirowsky, Middle Eastern Studies, September 2010).

 

*Dr. Benny Morris (Irish Times, Feb. 21, 2008): “…In defiance of the will of the international community, as embodied in the UN General Assembly Resolution 181 of November 29th, 1947, [the Palestinians] launched hostilities against the Jewish community in Palestine in the hope of aborting the emergence of the Jewish state and perhaps destroying that community. But they lost…”

 

*15 million Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims were displace in 1947 in order to create Pakistan. No right of return…

 

*300,000 Palestinians were expelled from Kuwait, in 1991, in response to Abu Mazen’s PLO collaboration with Saddam Hussein’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait. No Arab or international uproar…

 

*Scores of thousands of Palestinians were expelled from Jordan and killed – in 1970 – in response to Abu Mazen’s PLO attempt to topple the Hashemite regime.

 

*The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) employs 6,300 persons, resettling gradually 27MN refugees. UNRWA – the largest UN agency – employs 29,000 Palestinians, perpetuating Palestinians’ refugee-status.

 

*The phantom of the Palestinian refugees – just like Abu Mazen’s hate education – constitute the most authentic reflection of the Palestinian Vision, aiming to de-legitimize and de-humanize the Jewish State.

 

*The root cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the existence – and not the size – of the Jewish State.
