(Palestinian Center for Public Opinion) Nabil Kukali - A Palestinian public opinion poll released on Sept. 6 asked: "Which, in your opinion, is the preferable option for the future of Palestine? Is it going to the UN for the recognition of the Palestinian state without concluding a peace agreement with Israel, or going back to the negotiation table with the Israelis for the sake of a permanent peace with them and then resort to the UN?" 35% said "going to the UN," while 59% said "going back to the negotiation table with the Israelis for the sake of a permanent peace with them and then resort to the UN." After the proclamation of the UN resolution recognizing the State of Palestine, 26% of Palestinians said they supported "making big peaceful demonstrations that overrun the barriers and close the roads against the Israeli army and the settlers," 15% favored "carrying out violent actions against the Israeli army and the settlers," while the majority, 53%, are in favor of "going back to peaceful negotiations with the Israeli government."
