53% of Israelis support killing Palestinian terrorists 'on the spot'

  • 9 years ago
A majority of Israeli Jews support the killing of Palestinian terrorists "on the spot," while 58 percent were against Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount during times of heightened tensions, a survey conducted by The Peace Index in October revealed.
Fifty-three percent of Israeli Jews agreed with the statement, "Any Palestinian who has perpetrated a terror attack against Jews should be killed on the spot, even if he has been apprehended and no longer poses a threat."
On the issue of equal punishment for Jewish and Palestinian terrorists, a wide majority (80 percent) of the Jewish public believed that "the home of the family of a Palestinian who has murdered Jews on a nationalist background should be demolished," while 53 percent were against demolishing the home of a Jew who has murdered a Palestinian in a nationalistically-motivated attack.
