Similarly, the majority of respondents (56.2 percent) supported the continuation of knife attacks, which have marked this Intifada, while 41.1 percent opposed their continuation. A majority of  support was found in Gaza, where 79.5 percent of those polled said they supported the stabbings in contrast to the West Bank, where the majority, or 53.9.%, were opposed to them.
