Poll: “85% think Israel behind the murder of French [citizens]”
Ma’an, independent Palestinian news agency - Jan. 19, 2015
On Jan. 7, 2015, Muslim terrorists Cherif and Said Kouachi carried out a shooting attack at the Paris office of satirical magazine
Charlie Hebdo
. 12 people were killed in the attack, which was a response to cartoons the magazine published about Islam's Prophet Muhammad. On Jan. 8, in a connected attack, Muslim terrorist Amely Coulibaly shot and killed a policewoman in Paris and on Jan. 9, he shot and killed 4 Jewish shoppers at a Paris kosher supermarket.
While Abbas officially condemned the terror attacks in France, PMW has documented different PA reactions to the attacks. Some condemned them while at the same time condemning
Charlie Hebdo
for mocking Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Others compared the terror attacks in France to Israeli "terrorism" against Palestinians, and some even claimed that Israel was behind the attacks.
Headline:
“Ma’an poll: 85% think Israel behind the murder of French [citizens] in Paris”
“The overwhelming majority believe that the murders of the French [citizens] in Paris were suspicious operations, and that Israel may be behind them. In a survey conducted by [the independent Palestinian news agency] Ma’an, in which 6,090 people participated over the course of the week, the majority of the participants – 84.4%, or 5,142 people – think that the operation (i.e., terror attack) was suspicious, and that Israel may be behind it. Only 8.7%, or 531 out of 6,090 participants, believed that the murder of the French [citizens] in Paris was a natural result of the spread of Islamic extremism in Europe. 6.8%, or 417 participants, said they did not know whether the murders of the French [citizens] in France were suspicious, whether Israel is behind them, or whether they are the result of the spread of Islamic extremism in Europe.”
