While this poll that Drudge is hyping in which a "majority of Palestinians see the destruction of Israel as their goal" is interesting, it isn't quite the question that was asked.

The question was something along the lines of (still trying to find full survey):



Fifty-one percent of people surveyed said the end result of the uprising should be "liberating all of historic Palestine," referring to British-mandate Palestine, part of which was recognized as Israel in 1948.


The word "liberating" is somewhat more ambiguous in its meaning.
