44% believe in armed confrontation, 29% believe in negotiations
“A majority of 53% supports the two-state solution and 46% oppose it. A month ago, 49% supported it and 50% opposed it. The public is divided over the most effective means of ending occupation and building a Palestinian state: 44% believe that armed confrontation is the most effective means; 29% believe negotiation is the best means, and 23% believe that popular non-violent resistance is the most effective route to statehood. A month ago, 53% said armed confrontations were the most effective means while 22% selected negotiations, and 20% selected popular non-violent resistance.
A majority of 59% support and 35% oppose committing the reconciliation government to accept existing agreements with Israel. A month ago, 54% supported this position and 40% opposed it.
In the absence of viable negotiations, 83% support joining more international organizations; 79% support joining the International Criminal Court; and 63% favor resort to popular non-violent resistance.
57% believe that massive popular demonstrations could contribute to ending the Israeli occupation but 42% disagree with that.”
