Statistically, Palestinians Not So Much With the Peace Thing [Video]

Rick Richman and Mort Zuckerman agree. Mort Zuckerman has to take the McLaughlin Group to school on the broad support that Hamas has throughout the West Bank (hey, lets give Fatah some weapons! Hams will be able to use them...):

For a more rigorous and robust discussion of Palestinian intransigence, see the brutal dismantling of Carter that Rick Richman just published in American Thinker:

The conventional wisdom is that the Palestinians made a tragic mistake in rejecting Clinton's proposal... But the Truman Institute poll shows that -- six years after a new intifada devastated their economy, led them into the moral abyss of relentless mass-murder bombing, discredited the peace camp in Israel, and made it highly unlikely the Clinton proposal will ever be offered again - the majority of Palestinians still reject a peace agreement even on those grounds. How did Carter make his 81% mistake? By seriously mis-reading a different portion of the poll.

Also see the admittedly unscientific Palestinian opinion poll that Elder of Ziyon picked up. We keep telling Rick to stop being so generous - it's not a "serious misreading", it's the "willful obtuseness of a possible anti-Semite". But he's all about that "not jumping to conclusions" and "being reasonable" and "not slandering and smearing people" thing. To each his own, we suppose.
