A survey of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank suggests they back Hamas in its decision to go to war with Israel, seeing no alternative to armed struggle.

CNN reporting on some interesting survey results from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah. Seven hundred and fifty adults were interviewed face to face in the West Bank, and 481 were interviewed in Gaza, also in person. The Gaza data collection was done during the recent truce, when it was safer for researchers to move about.

    You’re literally agreeing with me.

    No, we’re not, because…

    My whole point is that violence accomplishes the same thing as handwringing – nothing.

    Riiiiight… if we just sacrifice a million more to the mass-murderers they’ll grow tired off it and leave peacefully, is that it, Clyde? Is that your plan?

    Why don’t you lead by example and put yourself up for the chop?

    By the way, do you actually have a definition of liberal you can refer to here?

    The guiding principle of moderate, centrist and liberal politics is acquiescence to the status quo.

    It is, by default, the most cowardly, self-serving and privileged form of politics one could ascribe to.

    As MLK himself wrote:

    I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice;

    So no, Clyde - I will not be providing you with a description of the politics you should have no problem recognizing yourself.
