leftynyc posted one of them, I'm not going to go dig them all up but they have been remarkably consistent over the years which supports the survey's validity. The one she posted is from 2013.

http://www.pewforum.org/files/2013/04/worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-full-report.pdf

Here are some of the findings:

48% of Palestinians support polygamy (pg 11) Misogyny

89% of Palestinians support Sharia law (pg. 15) Liberal Pluralism

89% of Palestinians think Homosexuality is morally wrong (pg. 81) Homophobia

87% of Palestinians think that women should obey their husbands (pg. 93) Misogyny

40% of Palestinians think suicide bombing is often/sometimes justified (pg. 29) ??

76% of Palestinians support penalties such as whipping or cutting off the hands of thieves (pg. 52)

84% of Palestinians support stoning for adultery (pg. 54) Misogyny

66% of Palestinians support the death penalty for leaving Islam (pg. 55) Democracy, egalitarianism

40% of Palestinians support a strong leader over democracy (pg. 60) democracy

72% of Palestinians think that religious leaders should have a say in politics (pg. 64)

89% of Palestinians think that Islam is the only path to salvation (pg. 101) Religious bigotry, supremacism

And finally:

97% of Palestinians are Antisemites: http://www.pewglobal.org/2010/02/04/chapter-3-views-of-religious-groups/

So you see, I hope, that I'm just stating research results, these are the Palestinians actual opinions not mine. The stuff you posted about Jews are just Antisemitic slurs.

eta: Please note that these odious positions are often expressed by far right wingers, not anyone on the left, especially in regards to the misogyny, homophobia and the role of religion in politics and society.
