I just read about a nifty poll with some results that would probably surprise a lot of people who think they know everything. The poll was directed at Arab-Israelis, whcih mostly consists of the descendents of Palestinians that decided to stay in Israel in 1948. They are full citizens and, on average, just as prosperous as their Jewish countrymen. They live in peace, unlike their unhappy non-Israeli Palestinian relatives who can't let go of their hate long enough to realize that the only people keeping them from peace and success are themselves. Anyway, the poll basically said that they supported Israeli actions, and that Israel should be allowed to keep the 1967 borders (including the disputed territories). 36% or so, a fairly large minority, said that the idea of the Palestinian "right of return" shouldn't happen.

All the Palestinians who are not Israelis need to do is stop killing Jews and stop hating Jews, and get on with their own lives. If all that energy they put in to digging tunnels and finding spectacular ways of killing off all their young men was put in to farming and trade and economic development, they'd probably have a nice, thriving state by now and everyone would be happy. But their leaders prefer to be in power, and that means they have to distract the people from bettering themselves by villifying Israel.
