ISRAELIS BELIEVE PALIS WANT TO DESTROY ISRAEL

Israelis Believe Palestinians Want to Destroy Israel - Ephraim Yaar and Tamar Hermann (Ha'aretz)
According to the December Peace Index of the Tami Steinmetz Center for Peace Research at Tel Aviv University, 69.5% of Israeli Jews said that the Palestinians would destroy the State of Israel if they could. Since 1994, between two-thirds and three-quarters have seen this as the Palestinians' intention. 53% oppose evacuating most of the Jewish settlements in the territories for a full peace agreement, while only 34% favor it. 68% agree that even dismantling most of the settlements would not suffice for the Palestinians to sign a full peace agreement with Israel.

I WONDER WHAT GAVE THEM THAT IDEA? THE PALESTINIAN MEDIA? THE PRONOUNCEMENTS OF THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY'S "GOVERNMENT"? THE HAMAS AND PLO CHARTERS?
