You are trying to rationalize by picking parts of the article that fit your (probably) western brain. The truth is the Palestinian population has been radicalized for some time now by their education system and their media https://youtu.be/W3jHj93JFMQ
I suggest you read the actual questions of the poll and the results instead of trying on some reporter interpretation: https://pcpsr.org/en/node/961
the Palestinian population has been radicalized for some time now by their education system and their media
Wow, that’s messed up. I honestly can’t fathom how living with that would impact me long term.
As for the questions, I found this quite interesting:
34% support and 64% oppose the idea of a two-state solution, which was presented to the
public without providing details of the solution. Three months ago, support for this solution
in a similar question stood at 32%
…
43% believe that the first most vital Palestinian goal should be to end Israeli occupation in
the areas occupied in 1967 and build a Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as its capital
That ~9% gap between “two state solution” and essentially a description of the two state solution seems too large for a polling gap.
My take is that while they may be radicalized, it sounds like the public could be reasoned with. I would expect that an actual offer by Israel (unlikely) could improve those polling numbers quite a bit. That said, they seem to want Barghouti, which isn’t going to work for Israel.
