The problem isn’t that Muslims lie . . . The problem is that politicians believe them?

Why is it that everyone on the Left, including the media, and many on the Right are convinced that the majority Palestinian Arabs want a two-state solution?
When polls ask Palestinian Arabs is they support a two-state solution, indeed most answer yes. However, when one pollster last year went a bit further and asked another question, it showed that the real answer is not "yes" but "as a means to destroy Israel."
This fact is simply too inconvenient for wishful thinkers to accept. It causes massive cognitive dissonance in the "peace camp." It is exactly the opposite from what we have been told over and over again by politicians and pundits.
When polls ask Palestinian Arabs is they support a two-state solution, indeed most answer yes. However, when one pollster last year went a bit further and asked another question, it showed that the real answer is not "yes" but "as a means to destroy Israel."
The Israel Project commissioned a poll in the territories conducted by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion and asked which of these two statements more closely matched the opinions of those being polled:
| The best goal is for a two-state solution that keeps two states living side by side. | The real goal should be to start with two states but then move to it all being one Palestinian state | |
|---|---|---|
| Strongly agree | 12% | 22% |
| Somewhat agree | 13% | 30% |
| Total | 25% | 52% |
| Total for those who responded | 32% | 68% |
In case you think that this question was too vague or unclear, here's one that leave little doubt of what Palestinian Arab intentions are:
Israel has a permanent right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people. | Over time Palestinians must work to get back all the land for a Palestinian state | |
Strongly agree | 4% | 27% |
Somewhat agree | 4% | 57% |
Total | 8% | 84% |
Total for those who responded | 9% | 91% |
This poll proved that a large majority of Palestinian Arabs do not believe in the "two state solution" in the way that most Westerners do. They want to have a state now as a means to destroy Israel. Fatah and Hamas agree - the goal is to destroy Israel
This poll was ignored by the mainstream media.

Arabs want to drive out or subjugate the Jews AGAIN.
It's been back-and-forth for centuries.
The Arabs most recently conquered Israel by force, and were removed from power by UN mandate.
They want to conquer Israel again. And the rest of the world.
