65% of Palestinians support Al Qaeda terrorism

Remember those pictures of Palestinians celebrating 9/11? The ones that were suppressed by the Palestinian authorities in a desperate attempt to hide from the world (not to mention the US public) what a decade of development assistance had bought them?
And remember how, when they were confronted with those images, official Palestinian spokespeople said that those very few revelers didn't represent the majority of Palestinians? Turns out, that was kind of a fib too:

According to a survey of Palestinian opinion financed by Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 65% support al-Qaeda actions in the U.S. and Europe, 32% support al-Qaeda actions in Iraq, and 13% support al-Qaeda actions in Jordan.

Maybe a few more billions in aid - or perhaps yet another UN mission - will make them stop thinking that mass murder is OK.
