Interesting to note though.... when asked, more Arabs in Eastern Jerusalem say they would rather be a part of the Israeli state then the Palestinian state.

Something like 40% of people polled actually say that if the two state solution happened and Palestine gained control of East Jersualem they would leave their homes to stay on the Israeli side.

If back in the 1940s you asked 100 jews if they would rather live in the Warsaw Ghetto or Nazi Germany, they'd probably still choose Nazi Germany. But what does that prove?

Except I was talking about a fully liberated Palestine.

Could it be that maybe they're afraid of living in an Islamic state? A sham democracy where they're treated as second class citizens is better than livign in an Islamic state (granted, not by that much).

Nah.

It's more that economic needs outway politcal ones.

I mean... would you rather live in Israel or Jordan?  etc.

Israel is, one of the nicest countries in the region from a purely non-religious view.  If not the nicest.

Best school systems, Best colleges, most well rounded economy, best technology sector by far, much more of a chance to "share the wealth" of your nation.

Palestinians in Jerusalem are muslims just like the ones in Palestine.  They just live nicer lives.

Well, maybe that would be an issue to the women who are used to a more Israeli society now a days.
