Not on your life.
It's a bitter but fully predictable truth. At least it should be
bitter to those who want to imprison Arabs in endemically
Palestine. All the same, the peace processors insist that the Arab
neighborhoods of Jerusalem and their populations should be considered
part of Palestine. But panic now reigns on those who are having
Palestinianism imposed on them, real panic. Says someone who spent
two terms in Israeli prisons: "If there were a referendum here, no
one would vote to join the Palestinian Authority...There would be another
intifada to defend ourselves from the PA." And where is
here? Ras Khamis, an Arab neighborhood, part of Jerusalem
and part of Israel, annexed after 1967.
Basically, 80% of the Palestinians who actually live in Israel do not
want a change in their political identity or in their passport, in their
living conditions or in their freedoms. Would you want to live in
Palestine? Read Daniel Pipes's account of the polling and his
analysis of its findings. It's in the January 1 Jerusalem Post.
