"According to the poll[conducted in October by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research and sponsored by The Israel Project], most Palestinians refuse to reconcile with the idea of Israel as a Jewish state. While 23% accept the statement that Israel has a permanent right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people, two-thirds prefer the alternative statement that over time Palestinians must work to get back all the land for a Palestinian state.
Moreover, the Palestinians perceive the two-state solution as a precursor to this entirely Palestinian state. When presented with the statement that the best goal is for a two-state solution that keeps two states living side by side, 30% agreed, while 60% opted for the alternative statement that the real goal should be to start with two states but then move it to all being one Palestinian state."
