93 percen said yesrdquo noes Mr Polisar ldquoBu when he idenical

quesion was posed regarding he use o such weapons o mass

expressed suppor or ldquoatemps o sab or run over Israelisrdquo in

Palesinians have also consisenly suppored erroris atacksagains Israelis wihin Israelrsquos original borders ldquoofen by as much
