P.A. Arabs Less Attached To Land Than Was Thought

A public opinion survey taken in the Palestinian Authority shows that fully 37% of the population would agree to leave their "homeland" in exchange for material benefits.

The 705 respondents of the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion (PCPO) poll were asked, "If you were to receive a job offer, a home, and $250,000, would you be willing to emigrate to a foreign country?" Just a tad over half said no, while 37% said yes, they would be willing to leave under such circumstances.

Of those who would leave, not even a quarter would choose an Arab nation, while 60% would choose Europe or an English-speaking country.
