A new poll of Palestinian public opinion shows that Palestinians would vote into the presidency a terrorist mastermind currently serving five life sentences in an Israeli jail. The poll also revealed widespread support in the West Bank and Gaza Strip for terrorist attacks against Israelis.
The survey, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, a European-funded nonpartisan think tank based in Ramallah, queried 1,200 adults in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Asked whom they would support if a presidential election were held today, Marwan Barghouti — a career terrorist and Fatah Party leader jailed since 2002 over his prominent role in directing suicide bombings against Israelis who headed the Tanzim militia and founder of the Al-Aqsa Martyr’s Brigades — garnered the most votes.
