Anti-Israel CNN Anchor Accused of Fabricating ‘Palestinian Polls’

Last week, CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour interviewed former Israeli ambassador to France Yael German.

When German's response referenced Palestinian leaders' historical refusals to accept multiple offers of statehood, Amanpour appeared to deny both that rejectionism has guided the Palestinian Authority's approach and that Palestinians in general refuse to accept that a Jewish state exists.

" An August 2021 poll from the Ramallah-based Arab World for Research & Development that found only 36% of Palestinians support a two-state solution.

CAMERA also cited Palestinian polling data indicating that the majority Palestinians "either strongly or somewhat agree that 'Palestinians should move to a new intifada and make armed struggle their top priority.

'" The December 2022 PCPSR poll cited by CAMERA indicated that 72% of Palestinians "support the formation of armed groups such as the 'Lions' Den'," which perpetrated horrific murders targeting Israelis, using a teen attacker in at least one case.

According to CAMERA, "[I]t seems likely that Amanpour entirely fabricated findings from nonexistent 'latest polls.

' A request for substantiation sent to Amanpour has so far gone unanswered.
