Face it: The Palestinians living on the West Bank are, by and large, a mass of evil, hate-filled, anti-American, knuckle-dragging dirtbags.
I saw them dancing on the streets as Manhattan Island burned. That was explained away as the actions of a few, misguided or pressured extremists. I even entered a short debate on the subject, wherein the idea was offered (by another) that those men, women and kids cavorting joyously in the streets were there as a result of Hamas (and other) thugs forcing them to act happy.
Pure, unadulterated bullshit.
Now we have the recent poll from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) which shows that 75% of Palestinian respondents "support the suicide bombing at an Israeli restaurant two weeks ago in which 21 people, including four children, were killed".
Of course, we get some temporizing from the pollster (who was, perhaps, shocked at the barbarity of his sample). He tells us to consider that the respondents may not have understood the question:
"Ayoub Mustafa, one of the pollsters, told Reuters the number may have been artificially high because respondents were not told in the question that all the 21 dead were civilians."
Paaleeaase. The PCPSR designed the question. And the fact that the 21 who were brutally murdered, much less the dozens who where maimed and dismembered, were civilians was the whole point of the exercise. Yeah, sure, sometimes when the Paleostinian terrorists crawl out of their holes to attack Israelis they take on IDF regulars, but the vast majority of their operations are specifically against civilians, with the explicit intent to murder civilians.
Besides, it was a restaurant.
To expect that the Palesimian "street" doesn't know this is laughable. To expect us to believe that the respondents don't know this is to expect of us naivete on the scale of State Department cubicle-dwellers.
So, as I said, it's time to face it. The Palestinian population has chosen its side, its method of forwarding its interests, and its place in history. And I do mean history.
They have also chosen their enemies. One of which is the United States.
To my mind, the debate on where the Palestinians stand, with us or against us, is now over. Perhaps it time for us to stop sending charitable scholarships over there, and time to start sending something more to the point.
