A recent poll by the Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD) painted a vivid picture of who the Innocent Palestinian Arabs are—those about whom the world is decrying their horrendous treatment by Israel in its war with Hamas.

NOTE: This is the same world that has been an impotent deaf mute, overlooking decades of abuse and war crimes against the Innocent Palestinian Arabs by Hamas, by the PLO, and by Islamic Jihad.

The current situation begs the question, ‘Does anyone in the world actually care about the well-being of the Innocent Palestinian Arabs or is this merely a cover for antisemites to blame Israel again and again and again?’

The wartime poll was conducted between October 31 and November 7 among 668 people in the Palestinian Authority, including Gaza and the “West Bank” (Judea and Samaria).

Important points to consider about AWRAD and their poll:

 – The AWRAD poll depicts widespread hostility, hatred, and legitimization of terror. It did not start just because of the war, and certainly not as a response to the horrific October 7 massacre against Israel. It shows that [I]nnocent Palestinian Arabs celebrate it.

– These results are the product of hateful incitement against Israel from long before the advent of the Palestinian Authority in the 1990s and since celebrating terror, honoring the terrorists, and providing generous pensions to the perpetrators and their families.

– The poll showed that Palestinian Arabs roundly support terror against Israel, reject peace with Israel, and deny Israel’s very right to exist.

 – To its credit, AWRAD actually published these results. They did so with no shame. But they should be ashamed for their society and everything it says about the century-long dehumanization of Jews and delegitimization of Israel. Maybe it depicts their desire to portray this reality in the hope that there will be change. However, as deep as the hostility to Israel is, it’s hard to imagine even a handful of righteous people looking to change their society rather than celebrate its deeply rooted evil.

 – The results must be a wake-up call for Israel, the broader world (even the antisemites for whom these facts are an inconvenient truth), and anyone in the international community who truly seeks peace in the Middle East. It underscores that the worn-out paradigms of the past are invalid, and the world needs to look through the prism of helping to resolve a problem based on reality, not how people want to think the world ought to be.

So, who are the Innocent Palestinian Arabs?

The poll’s overall results indicate that an overwhelming percentage of Innocent Palestinian Arabs:

 – Overwhelmingly support the October 7 massacre against Israel (75%),

 – Support the genocidal creation of a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea” in place of Israel (74.7%),

 – Seek the restoration of “historical Palestine” as a final resolution (71.1%), albeit that there was never an independent entity under Arab authority known as Palestine to restore, and

 – Obviously, they reject coexistence with Israel (85.9%).

As if in a high school popularity contest for homecoming king and queen among competing terrorist organizations, Innocent Palestinian Arabs believe:

 – Hamas plays a somewhat to very positive role (76%),

 – Palestinian Islamic Jihad plays a somewhat to very positive role (84%),

 – Fatah’s (the PLO) terror wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, plays a somewhat to very positive role (79.8%), and

 – Hamas’ armed wing, the Al-Kassam Brigades, plays a somewhat positive function (88.6%).

Innocent Palestinian Arabs also harbor unsurprisingly antisemitic and anti-Western views and believe that they are victims and not the perpetrators:

 – 91.5% think that support for Israel is the result of the ‘influence of the Israeli lobby,’

 – 85.5% think that support for Israel is the result of ‘hatred of Arabs,’ and

 – 79.5% agreed with the belief that this support is the result of ‘hatred of Muslims and Islam.’

Biting the hands that feed them, which have provided untold millions to fund their society, Innocent Palestinian Arabs see:

 – The U.S. role as unfavorable (98.2%),

 – The UK role as unfavorable (96.7%), and

 – The EU role as unfavorable (92.6%).

But Innocent Palestinian Arab’s disdain is not just for the Western hands that feed them. Within the Arab world, Innocent Palestinian Arabs see:

 – The United Arab Emirates playing the most negative role (96%),

 – Saudi Arabia playing the second most negative role (95.5%),

 – Egypt playing the third most negative role (84.6%), and

 – Jordan playing the fourth [most] negative role (75.6%).

Notably, these four countries have either made peace with Israel or were close to that before October 7.

No doubt Innocent Palestinian Arabs must hold in high esteem countries that are rocks of stability and democracy in advocating for their well-being such as Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran.

Looking locally at their own “society,” Innocent Palestinian Arabs seek greater control by the most hardline terrorists, in a population where all their leaders come from terrorist organizations. Innocent Palestinian Arabs believe:

 – The Palestinian Authority plays a negative role (87.3%),

 – Fatah (the PLO) plays a positive role (23.2%),

 – Hamas should continue to play a role in the Palestinian government (85.8%),

 – Support a ‘national unity’ government of Fatah (the PLO) and Hamas (72.2%), and

 – The war will end with a Palestinian victory that ‘achieves the liberation of Gaza from the Israeli invasion (74.3%).

Innocent Palestinian Arabs’ positive perception of the terror organizations that control their society remains high despite their role in the October 7 massacre and being used as human shields by the very same terrorist leaders who they hold in high esteem.

NOTE: According to the AWRAD poll, Innocent Palestinian Arabs in the “West Bank ” (Judea and Samaria) support the massacre against Israel at a far greater rate (83.1%) than those in Gaza (63.6%).

Israelis desperately want peace. But with glaring statistics like these from among Innocent Palestinian Arabs, the question Israel must ask is, ‘Are there in fact any actual peace partners on the other side?’

Final thought: The AWRAD poll depicts Innocent Palestinians Arabs as delusional and holding irrational views that are self-defeating.

This is a conundrum for which I do not have a suggestion other than replacing America’s current Leftist leadership with President Trump.
