Palestinian Arabs give high ratings to Israeli Democracy and Human Rights
"Only 19% give PA democracy a positive evaluation and only 17% expect a democratic system in the Palestinian state. But 66% of the Palestinians give a positive evaluation to the status of democracy and human rights in Israel."
The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, located in Ramallah (Palestinian Authority) conducts regular surveys of the Palestinian Arab population.
"These are the results of opinion poll # 6, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) between 14-20 November 2002. The poll deals with the Peace Process, reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians, political reform and new Palestinian government, corruption, democracy and constitution, Arafat's popularity and political affiliation. The total sample size of this poll is 1319 from Palestinians 18 years and older, in the West Bank (814) and the Gaza Strip (505) Interviewed face-to-face, in 120 locations. The margin of error is 3%."
Other findings:
|| 84% believe that there is corruption in the PA
|| 85% support and 13% oppose internal and external calls for fundamental political reform in the PA
|| 54% believe, and 43% do not believe, that people today can criticize the PA without fear
|| 53% are in favor, and 46% are not in favor, of having provisions in the Palestinian constitution guaranteeing equality between men and women so that a woman could become a president of the Palestinian state
|| 35% are in favor, and 62% are not in favor, of having provisions in the Palestinian constitution guaranteeing equality for a Christian citizen in becoming a president of the Palestinian state

I wonder how many of that 62% then turn around and complain about discrimination in Israel.
