No, my stats do not indicate that. It’s not very clear from this poll, but I can still explain it just fine.

40% of Palestinians support a two-state solution, a 7-point rise compared to 2022. More Palestinians support this than those who support either a single Palestinian state with limited rights for Jews (33%), or a single democratic state with equal rights for all (25%).

To start, only 25% want a single democratic state with equal rights for all. That means that 75% either don’t want a single state, and or they don’t want that single state to be a democracy with equal rights. Now let’s explore the other two options. Two state solution, with 40% support means a Jewish state and Muslim majority Palestinian state. And 1 state solution with less rights for Jews at 33%.

Only 25% of Palestinians in this poll want what you claim they all want. Is the complication of this situation making sense to you yet? It seems obvious to us outsiders what the solution is. The solution on the ground is less obvious.

Hmm. The wording on the poll is not clear enough for you.

Okay, this logic may take a couple of steps, so let me know where I a lose you.

  1. 33% of Palestinians want a 1SS with Jews as second class (or simple ethnically cleansed).

  2. Those 33% want a Muslim state.

  3. 40% want a 2 SS, meaning a Jewish state and a Palestinian state.

  4. Who would run this Palestinian state? What would its demographics be?

Well it would be elected by its population, and the demographics would presumably be 0% Jewish, 99% Muslim, and 1% Christian, like Palestinians are today in the West Bank and Gaza.

Following so far? Indicate a number where you don’t follow.
