Palestinians Finally Learn

JPost reports that according to a recent poll "conducted by the Beit Sahour-based Palestinian Center for Public Opinion" that Hamas popularity has dropped dramatically.

Today, Hamas is supported by only 27.8% of the population in the Gaza Strip, compared to 51.5% in November, said Dr. Nabil Kukali, founder and general director of the PCPO.

This poll has many other interesting statistics. One thing is for certain. Israeli deterrence has been restored. It is a cold reality. Hopefully Israel and the Palestinians can move forward.

I hope this poll would gain support for Ehud Barak's Labor party for he was the Defense Minister instead of Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party.
