Oct. 16, 2003 Poll: 75% of Palestinians support Haifa restaurant attack By LAMIA LAHOUD

75% of Palestinians support the suicide bombing of the Maxim restaurant in Haifa in which 23 people were killed.
78% of Palestinians believe the US roadmap for peace is dead, yet a vast majority ( 85%) want a mutual ceasefire, according to a new opinion poll released by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) in Ramallah.
If the two sides agree on a mutual cessation of violence, 59% (compared to 50% last June) would support taking measures by the PA to prevent attacks on Israelis.
The center, headed by Khlail Shkaki, conducted the poll between October 7th-14th October 2003 in the Palestinian areas It has a 3% margin of error.
The poll found that the popularity of PA Chairman Yasser Arafat has shapely increased from 35% last June to 50% in October, mainly due to Israeli threats against him, yet 82% believes the PA is corrupt.90% support internal and external calls for extensive political reforms. 89% of those polled thought Arafat's sudden increase in popularity was due to Israeli threats to kill or deport him. His popularity is at the highest in five years.
However, over the past week, many Palestinian officials have expressed dissatisfaction with the way Arafat is dealing with his new Prime Minster Ahmed Qurei. Privately Palestinian officials said more and more people realize that Arafat does not want a reformed government with a prime minister and they are becoming impatient with the PA leader.
Imprisoned Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti remains the second most popular Palestinian figure with 17%, supporting him, followed by radical Hamas leader Abdul Aziz Rantisi whom Israel tried to assassinate. Rantisi received 14% of support compared to 3% in June.
Sa'eb Erikat has the support of 9%, Ahmad Yasin and Haidar Abdul Shafi of 7% each, Farouq Qaddoumi and Hanan Ashrawi received 5% of support , PM Ahmad Qurei' 4,) Mohammad Dahlan 2%, and former PM Mahmoud Abbas 1%.
According to the poll, majority (61% ) support the appointment of Ahmad Qurai (Abu Ala') as prime minister . Only 27% oppose it. 62% believe Qurei and his government will be able to return to negotiations with Israel, but only 33% believe they will be able to control the security situation and enforce a ceasefire.
78% believe that current Israeli measures, including the building of the separation fence reduce the chances for the establishment of a Palestinian state. 39% believe that armed confrontations and terror will not stop and negotiations will not resume soon.
This is an increase from 24% who believed so last June. At the same time the number of those who believe that the current armed violence has helped the Palestinians achieve national rights in ways that negotiations could not, dropped from 65% in June to 59%.
Attitudes towards the US administration and its Middle East policy are very negative.
97% believe the current US policy toward the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is biased in favor of Israel.
96% believe that the US is not sincere when it says it works toward the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. 92% believe that the US is not sincere when it says it wants political reforms and clean government in the PA.
78% believe the US is not serious when it declares its opposition to the Israeli decision to expel or assassinate Arafat.
But only 38 developed nations are mandated to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions; developing nations only have to set voluntary limits. That could doom U.S. ratification of the Kyoto protocol. The U.S. Senate, which will have to ratify the treaty, voted 95-0 to demand the participation of developing nations in any agreement while those countries have strongly resisted such efforts.
The Kyoto treaty ran into serious trouble starting in 1997, even before it was struck, when the Senate signaled in a unanimous vote that it would not ratify any treaty that harms the U.S. economy and excludes developing nations. The treaty took a step closer to the scrap heap in December when a last-ditch attempt by the Clinton administration to work out details in negotiations at The Hague collapsed as a result of seemingly irreconcilable differences with the European Union.

Are you two so lazy you can vacuum your own home? Damn, it's not that hard.
But the do care if you wish to own a gun. I guess their copy of the Bill of Rights has less adms than mine does.
Now, Now! The ACLU is doing all it can to protect the Bill of rights. What problem do you have with them?
It takes a lot of work to protect most of the 1st adm and the 3-9 adms!
France is also the country that stoped the EU from condeming the Malasian PM when he made anti Jewish remarks in a speach.
A) Rush only said something because the Enquirer broke the story.
Looks at GWB's policies/spending, NOT at what he says. Most of it is more inline with the D's than the R's.
This poll was posted on freerepublic.com several times. It was also posted on sites like democratunderground.com.
It was 'attacked by both/all sides of the issue.
But isn't that like 0.50 USD? :-> :->
The tech's were fired/offshored. This is the marketing guy trying to do this.
Are there any projects like OpenMOSIX/MOSIX for *bsd?
And in the REAL real world, the author of this piece discovered that, for his application, the SCSI drive was at least 300% faster.
Why isn't his test, done with real world data, not a 'real world' test?
