Terror by numbers


A stunning 70% of Palestinians justify terror

[S]upport for suicide bombings is widespread among Palestinians, the report said, with 41% asserting that such attacks are often justified while another 29% say they can sometimes be justified.

Only 6% of Palestinians say such attacks are never justified - the smallest percentage in any Muslim public surveyed.

A stunning and troubling survey to be sure. Palestinians would no doubt argue that the percentages reflect how much more their lives are negatively affected by the troubles of the mideast, then your average middle-easterner. But of course, being so committed to Terrorism is part of the reason they are in the situation they are in.
