re: polls, palestinians and the path to peace chuc Bears and Bulls,

Pipes said:

"Why are Palestinians so angry at Israel? There are two possible reasons.
Political: They accept the existence of a Jewish state but are angry with this or that Israeli policy.
Rejectionist: They abominate the very existence of Israel and want to destroy it."

By this simplistic preamble Pipes set up an artificial premise so he could "prove" that Palestinians were hell bent on eradication of Israel. Just because a poll says Palestinians are against the very idea of Israel doesn't mean they wouldn't settle for a just peace and the right to a decent life.
