For over 30 years, Dr. Khalil Shikaki, director of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah, has been conducting public opinion polls of Palestinian and Israeli views on a wide variety of issues. What do these polls tell us about Palestinian society today and about possibilities for the future? Join host Karen Spira in this episode of Counter/Argument: A Middle East Podcast as she and Shikaki discuss some of the misconceptions surrounding Palestinian views about democracy, resistance, and the leadership of the Palestinian Authority in light of escalating violence and diminishing prospects for a peace agreement.
