PALESTINIANS WANT TO FLEE HAMASISTAN

Fallout of Hamas' Rule Spurs Palestinian Desire to Flee - Joshua Mitnick
A growing number of Palestinians are openly saying they'd like to leave the West Bank and Gaza if given the chance, yet another indication of the deepening despair since Hamas was elected to run the government. Birzeit University pollster Nader Said, who has monitored emigration attitudes for 12 years, says the percentage of Palestinians willing to relocate once hovered just below 20%. That figure jumped to 32% in a September survey, surging to 44% among Palestinians in their 20s and 30s, and beyond 50% among young men. (Christian Science Monitor)
