Poll of Jerusalem Arabs

Heres my 0.02

39% Arabs in "East- Jerusalem"
I wonder if some of the "Arabs" in the Poll were Jewish.

Thats nothing big really, thats like a very small fraction of the Palestinians & less than half of the Palestinians taken in just that specific region.

Also, Security in East Jerusalem is not like it is in other parts of Palestine, theres tight Israeli military presence, so basically, it would be like asking the arabs that live in Israel, on whether they prefer to live in Palestine. The answer would be an obvious no, because lets be honest, the Palestinian Government cant provide anything, expecially under the occupation, while the Israeli Government can & it does. Theres unrest in Palestine, the illegal occupation has brewed terrorists which make the Palestinian population feel frightened. While in Israel, its mostly safe & its citizens are well protected. Thus, if i was in the Palestinian region, for my safety, i too would prefer to live under Israeli sovereignty, but only because of the unsafe conditions the illegal occupation has created, that is absolutely the only reason.

From Post 2:

Murad, I 'preciate your alternate take on the issue, and consider it reasoned and worthy of thought. It's always good to hear a different perspective, and I'll try to incorporate this information into my thinking.

Thanks for posting this Joey, and for your viewpoint, Murad. Here's hoping for a peace settlement that takes the views of all concerned into account.

That is like saying that I a Christian would leave my persecuted Brothers in Christ and move to my enemies cities for safety and comfort while they stayed and suffered under this enemies occupation.
I would be honored to suffer and even die in persecution for my God along with my fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

May God bless you all.

There is a time & place for war, i would rather have my family & loved ones live in peace than under constant artillery shelling. However, that being said, i would without a second thought die for the Islamic cause in a noble "military war" rather than guerilla warfare that disregards civilian lives.
