That a very interesting poll. I'm surprised to see the intifada is ranked so low. Wonder why? Did Israel's incursion play a role in convincing Pals that it isn't as attractive as polls suggested they felt just a few weeks earlier?

Also notice that if Pals don't think they can trust Arafat, how can Israeli's?

Lastly, it is good to see that only 15% see the goal as either a Islamic or a pure Pal state, but notice that less than 1/2 see the goal as a two state solution.

If you asked Israeli's, way over 2/3's believe in a two state solution.

So, upshot. We need a Pal leader. Pals need to embrace a 2 state solution by a clear majority. Pals need to further reduce their believe that Intifada will lead them anywhere positive. My two cents.
