31. The 65%
Again, assuming your number is right that 10% are active terrorists, that still leaves two thirds of the normal, law-abiding, non-murdering Palestinians as supporters of terror.

It is not calling for collective punishment to ban ALL Palestinians from Israel since one in 10 (your numbers, not mine) are terrorists and two thirds of the remainder support terror. Since they support it, it could reasonably be argued that they at least turn a blind eye to it and would do so inside Israel as well.

As for the Confederate flag wavers, northerners don't understand them. The Confederate flag has been adopted as the non-PC symbol of many in the South. It is done to stick a finger in the eye of interference in their lives. Yes, I hate the darn thing, but I have learned it is not about me by and large.
