Independent poll: Palestinian majority opposes 'two-state solution'

Amid the ping-pong between Washington and Jerusalem over the validity of a Palestinian state established alongside Israel as the end-product of peace negotiations, the Norwegian Fafo institute which sponsored the 1993 Oslo Framework accords decided to find out how the Palestinians felt about this solution. Its main discovery was that a majority, 53 percent, of Palestinians (like Israelis), is against two states.

This figure breaks down into 33 percent, who opt for the annihilation of the state of Israel, whether by political means or force of arms - to be replaced by a single Islamic republic on all parts of the country; and 20 percent, which favors a united Israeli-Palestinian state, to be eventually engulfed by the latter population...


Drudge: Funny, but sad at the same time...

BROWN: 'New world order' emerging from global economic crisis...
...the biggest fiscal stimulus we have ever seen.

Why not 10 trillion or 1 quadrillion? Does the amount even matter anymore?
